Ordered mine feb 4th and got it in the mail today.
They came in a small box about 4x4x3 with plastic over them. Not really a good way to ship something like this. It had the customs paperwork on it which was very hard to read. They marked the value at 18.00 for 1.
I know if customs does hold it you wont get it for a while. Which they wont just hold 1 of them at a time. If they are a known shipper it will be easier to get through but if they ship a huge lot all at 1 time customs might get suspicous about it and hold them to investigate.

Just dont let the 30 or 45 day time period paypal give you run out. Then your out your money.
Good advice here. Order another one! or two!

I turned the light on at 430. Will let you know when it turns off.
May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.

Took mine a while to get here... so long I forgot I ordered them. One of them wouldn't work when it came in, but the other one kicks asss.

The us customs is trying to kill the import business. I order all my bike stuff online and it use to take a week to get here. Since Nov. Every order has been over 30 days and up to 50 days and the products get shipped within 24 hours after the order.

The light has been on for 7 HOURS and still shines up to 50 yards away with a straight beam. On the wide veiw you can only see about 20-25 feet in front of you a little clear. The batteries started to wear down around 3 hours of being on.

I changed batteries and was AMAZED at how bright it is in the pitch black.
I had a straight line beam that was about 10 feet wide all around on the far warehouse wall, 100 yards easy.
Then turned it to wide veiw and could easily see everything around me that was around 30-40 yards out and around my looking area. It shinned about a cirlce around 20-30 feet wide around in front of me.

Only downside to mine, not sure if all will be like this.
After I changed the batteries and turned it on high it got hot on the part you trwist and pull out to go from a beam to wide veiw.
I dont know if it was running for 7 hours then putting new batteries in it or what. I just know it melted the inside piece and came apart that allows it to shot a bright beam. Its a thin piece of plastic that slids back and fourth.

Well I will send this one back to be replaced and be ordering some more now. I saw they have sold over 2000 of these already and like 120 in around 10 days.

I think it is a GREAT light that can come into use on rivers or lakes. Also for riding in on 4wheeler. Even better when throwing out decoys!

Mine doesnt have any numbers or writing on it at all.
Only thing it says is on the inside above the light is CREE then below J.

Now the actual bulb burned itself to where it don't work anymore. Well guess that shows it'll last 8 hours on high beam consistant with no problems.
I emailed them through eBay and they are sending me a new on monday for free . They don't want this one back either.

Ordered 15 and they took almost a month to come in. Holiday over there and customs had them held up.

Just ordered 35 more, everyone that see's them wants one.
