even before those brands, there were worse ones on ebay.... back when tehy were $2-3 for cell 2800mah actually 1200mah, and good ones were $10-15
so, yes, i am glad the batteries are much more reliable now.

only thing I can think of is the control interface is more simple/advanced, for those who want. i dont see other difference but I could be wrong
Only difference is the color temp. OP's is 6500k and the one linked by the other guy is 5000k
ya, they don't have individual deals, but that's why I said black or green in title

I did purposely buy some Trustfire in 2013 or so - I think 14500 "Flames", for some light that could handle it, instead of weak NiMH AA cells.
When the Panasonic 3100mAh came out, I spent maybe $20/ea on them from a local person that added protection circuits (Callie's Kustoms). Those cells only did decent at under 3A...things are much better today. I still have them and they all work great today, with about 10% capacity loss since 2011.

i still have some panasonics 2900mah ones, I think?
Good thing about decent brands these days that they come with decent batteries and most have regulated voltage, so u dont even need protected cells since they will shutoff before cells are fully depleted (or start to blink), so ya, how much times have changed!
i havent done much in flashlights over the last 6-7 years, but I just got 3 new ones, and gifted older stuff to friends, just to enable myself to get new toys in, LOL.
