I needed to use a magnet to make contact.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Both lights are using freshly charged Protected 18650 Rechargeable Batteries.

The Lumapower M1 Cree is using an OP Reflector.

Looks like the Lumapower M1 Cree edges out the Ultrafire Cree C2 by a small margin in throw.

I wish the Ultrafire Cree C2 had type III finish.

Not a bad light for the price of $31.97.

Great pix thanks. Too bad about the reverse clickie. I wish they'd figure out that a normal clickie is preferred by most.

Hey Thanks for the great pics and review on this light.. I have bought one through DealXtreme and it is driving me crazy waiting for it. it has been a bit over a month now since ordering it and also 2 ultrafire 18650's and a charger .. Had I known that the time to wait for the item to arrive was this long I would have went else where to buy it on-line to get it in a more timely mannor.. That is freaking crazy to have to wait this long for something even if it did save me a few dollars.
