cheapest place ive seen it is at ali Express :

It's perhaps worth it if you don't already have the TUP... but it seems they've managed to take that and make it worse, both in terms of battery life despite being bigger, and in leaving the USB exposed. 4000 lumens is great for the 15-odd seconds of runtime but the steps below are a little naff.

The TUP was a great gimmick pocket light, but the only real reason to buy it over an Olight S1R (or similar) was the OLED screen. If you don't need to momentarily blind people and/or need an actual keychain sized light, the TINI 2 is a much better option... and it still has the screen.

I meant the chances of actually getting a Nitecore from AliExpress

Just put an old Maglite LED upgrade bulb on the members market if anyone is interested? (MODs delete that if it's not allowed?)

Where is a good place to get decent protected 18650s that won't spontaneously combust and burn my house down?

18650.uk
That is presuming you're not doing anything stupid with them in the first place, of course...

Never had a problem getting Nitecore or Fenix torches through AliExpress. You just have to be careful in your choice of seller.

No, I'm just wary of cheap Lithium-Ion cells! Annoyingly they are out of stock (of protected button top 18650's), but I will keep an eye on there for them coming back.

Thanks

I tend to use that shop for vape batteries.
For torches I usually get the Fenix protected cells with USB charging from TorchDirect. Reasonable prices (I also get a discount), always genuine and the USB means I can charge one while using the other, no matter where I am working... which is usually middle of nowhere with just a works van for power.

Picked up a Nitecore P20i. Absolutely fantastic torch on MOLLE vest. Great mix of size, features and brightness.

My Thrunite TC20 has died, not sure why but was pretty impressive and need to replace it. What's a decent 26650 based torch currently?

There is a version 2 of this light but hard to get hold of at the moment.

Take a look at the Astrolux EA01S code FIN8301 will bring it down to just under £40

Thanks that looks pretty decent for £40. Which is the better emitter the SST or the XHP?
