These lights accept a [[ | [[File:ultrafires.jpg|thumb|UltraFire models (from top) MCU WF-1200L, WF-504B, WF-502B, and WF-501B]]These lights accept a [[P60]] drop-in. As such the type of LED, number of modes, type of reflector, and other qualities are based on the drop-in, not directly on the host. There are many permutations of these lights available. The "B" means the body is long enough to hold 2 CR123A cells (or 1 18650). The 501 and 502 were also available in a "C" length for 3 CR123A and "D" for 4 CR123A. Only the 501 was available as an "A" for 1 CR123A. Parts can often be exchanged between the different models and sometimes even with [[Solarforce]] lights. | ||

'''WF-008 Recoil Thrower''' - 1x18650 Cree XR-E Q5 1-mode light. This light is unique in that the LED is mounted backwards just behind the lens, sending all of its light into the reflector and then out the front. Due to the reflector design, it throws a very tight beam with the shape of the LED. | [[File:ultrafire-c8.jpg|thumb|The UltraFire C8 throws better and has better heat management than the P60 hosts]]'''WF-008 Recoil Thrower''' - 1x18650 Cree XR-E Q5 1-mode light.

The 2xAA configuration works better with alkalines or NiMHs while the 1xAA works best with a lithium-ion battery.

Lately it has been showing up with the very underpowered Cree XR-C LED and 98mm long. The earlier 93mm long version had a XR-E Q5 which seems to have had better quality. Nearly identical to the Aurora SH-035. | ||
'''C8''' - 1x18650 light with a large head for better throw. The pill screws into the throat of the light for better heat management. Available with many different LEDs as well as a smooth or OP reflector. The C8 with XM-L from KaiDomain has especially good reviews. | |||
