'''Aurora SH-035''' 5-mode memory 1xAA/14500 stainless steel light with Cree XP-E Q5. This light worked with an AA cell, but failed and caused a dead short with a 14500. DX gave me a store credit (and refund eventually), but let me keep the light. Then I put an NANJG 112A driver in it (li-ion or 1xAA) set to 2 modes and upgraded the LED to a neutral white XP-G R4 and it turned out pretty good (very close to the perfect light described below). I drilled the opening in the reflector out a little to give the LED room to stick into the bottom.

'''UltraFire WF-501B''' 1x18650 P60 host with a 5-mode Cree MC-E. Claims to be M bin, but who knows? Almost too bright: if you use it outside the very bright spill on the foreground ground or overhanging trees prevents you from seeing very far. I swapped out Shiningbeam's 3-mode P7/MC-E driver for the original, but light output was about the same. Prominent doughnut in beam partially fixed by swapping out a reflector. Th MC-E now lives in my Solarforce L2 and the 501B houses the XR-E R2 that was in my 504B.
