Ordered one too! I've been looking for a light with the potential to be easily modified into a bike light and this one looks good. I like that will run off two 18650 which means I can drive it with 7.2v lithium ion packs without having to find a boast driver.

I like the way Romisens are built. Looks like a good value. I'm sure the beam won't be pretty on the wall, but will be impressive for actual use.
I want to see someones opinion of this light. How much brighter is it than the MX Power 3 cree. I have the MX Power and its build quality is just OK. Not on the level of Fenix.
The only thing I dont like about ordering from DX is that it takes so long. Why cant they ship this stuff from China to a warehouse in the US and then ship it to our houses.

It appears to me that postage is cheap from China. If mailed from the USA some of their item prices would be dwarfed by USPS postage.
Once they have a nexus, a warehouse, in the USA they would have local, state and federal income, sales, property and other tax issues.

probably cree P4
Assuming there p4's and there being pushed at a decent amperage, how many lumens will this light put out front..?
I'd also like to use this light for my bike. I am a novice, how would you drive it with Li-ion packs? Is this easy to do? Are there tutorials?
Oregon,
Dont they have to pay USPS postage once the product enters the US?
I would really like to see beam shots of this thing.
I hope the switch is better than the LOW-STROBE-HIGH that is on the MX Power. That combination is very anoying.

I don't know.
It justs seems obvious to me that regular mail out of China must be subsidized somehow when I see the price of delivered goods from the discount Chinese vendors.

wow, p4s are only 160 lumens at one amp.
i didn't know q5s were 50% brighter at the same power levels.
these are bigger jumps than i thought! (the bins i mean)

I always thought this too ... but then I went to China ... you might be surprized by the actual cost of things over there ... I needed an umbrella when I got caught in a rainstorm and figured that was about the worst possible time to negotiate the price of an umbrella. I saw a street vendor and he offered me one "Here, here, How much you pay?" I was delayed in my answer trying to convert to the local currency when he made the first offer: 6 RMB ... that's $0.75 for a new, functional, collapsible umbrella IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR ... I bought two without haggling and went on my way ... the point is that the prices might be dwarfed by postage, and it STILL might be a fine business model.

Well I have the WF-500 3 cree ultafire and a little while ago decided to see what the runtime would be on two 18650's. It made it about 13 minutes and shut down. I can smell something burnt inside the light and lights no longer come on. I dont know if DX will replace it as ive not done too much business with them but I'll be finding out.
Ive got a wolfeyes storm on the way and hopefully it will be more reliable especially since its so expensive.

There's obviously a big-time short in the light.

Im not smart enough to find out what the culprit was but i did read a thread here where a handful of guys were having similar problems.
Id be leary about getting the 4 cree light.
My most recent purchase was the ultrafire EMC1 powered by 1 cr123 and its an awesome little light for the money. Runtime is about 30 minutes though on high.
No.
