Claiming about 70watt if I'm not mistaken and using 18650 battery too.

or those el-cheapo 10watt Police one. Lumen wise , not sure.


I managed to buy one for the price you quoted and yes, it can still be available if you search carefully on the Net. But at 50 - 70watts....? You may need to seek further past Chinese mainland manufacturers to grant you yr ideal flash at that approx. $60 to $80 price tag.... :-k

Unless yr typo error was meant @5watts? You might then get close in considering the Aurora AK P7, claimed to provide somewhere in the range of 900 Lumens @ abt 45 bucks but the Fenix T1 with 225 Lumens was equally good and fits firmer in the hand too.

I have just unpacked the sturdy box encasing the X21 and after a quick fix and trial on testing the throws... it was impressive!!!
I need to get my tripod and camera mounted later to capture the beam and the reach of power it hurls across... WoW!!! :thumbsup:

My latest acquisition on this X21 bazooka flashlight is guaranteed a free trip to the caves in New Zealand... to prove its power & potential there.... \:D/

Which ones lah bro. Most of them are China made ones.

I have 5 of the RM10 pasar malam ones. All certified made in China


I have one of those too. After having a professional flashlight, the pasar malam cheapo just got thrown out the rubbish chute. It's useless piece of junk once placed beside a real professional LED flashlight.

I called on Monday, Tuesday I made my tel. order and paid online later in the day and it arrived two days later... from Germany itself and for far less. :-'

Than what is averaging around 300 - 375 euros and in some cases, excluding 19% taxes to jack the price even more!!! :ko:

Will unpack it after returning home from dinner in the city... Might snap some pics hopefully... :mrgreen:


Bro, care to share where you ordered? I may switch from http://www.lightsandknives.com/ to your source if it's cheaper and faster.

Which retailer having it? I searched high and low previously, found 1 home biz that brings it in (supplying to shops too) but the range they carries is so limited. Didn't even have 7736TS.

Although I'm about to share some significant snaps on my latest flashlight, a bazooka that is handheld, it is the one most astounding pounder of power thrown at a distance which anyone can simply lay back and appreciating in awe...feeling and wishing within..., "this is one torch I will like to have on the list, the following day!!!"

Enjoy them, which I also took the liberty to throw the less powerful TK40 and T1, both from Fenix, next to the X21 LED Lenser, its awesome for just 950 Lumens. :thumbsup:

My main light-armory for a start...
Image

Warming up.....
Image

Look, 7 LED thrusters....
Image

Hold your breath now.....
Image

Nearby Christian church tower @ 195m distance.....
Image

Another few seconds to go.....
Image

No holds barred with the X21.....
Image

When its getting darker too.....
Image

With the Fenix T1.....
Image

With the Fenix TK40.....
Image

The LED Lenser X21 leads again.....
Image

Take a closer look.....
Image

The beam goes easily beyond this tower....
