I know we had a thread on these before. I just got my Solarforce L2 today (which looks almost exactly like a Surefire 6P) and I figured I'd look around and try to find the website for this company (out of Hong Kong).

In the process, I found another forum, and this website:

http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.901

They have decently rated LED lights for $10 with free shipping. If I didn't really love capitalism already, I sure as hell do after visiting that website. I'm thinking about buying a few more lights just to have them for that price.

This one in particularl:

Looks just like a 6P and costs less than $15.

This one looks something like an E1e to me, and is cheap as hell as well.

I haven't tested out the two lights I've linked to. The first one was considered a "best buy" on the forum I found:

It seems to me that there are some amazingly good, really nice, bright as fawk lights out there really cheap now. I spent under $50 on ebay for the Solarforce, which came with two sets of rechargeable batteries, holster, and the charger. The Surefire 6P LED that is similar to this light costs $90 without batteries, shipping, or holster.

I think I need more LED lights now. They are a versatile tool that can be used every day.

The rechargables are something like $4 a pair. Even if they only last 10 cycles, they're way cheaper than anything you can buy in a local store.

I was so happy with my maglite before I found that CPF website.

Now I have more lights that I'll ever need :flipoff2:

Yeah, no shit! I was so content with my $25 contraption until I found a $15 that does the same thing. :D
