UltraFire UF-901 Review
The good:
1.)Great thrower. This is definitely an impressive light thrower.
2.)Good Machining. Threads are smooth.
3.)Good finish. (Anodizing)
4.)Impressive heat sinking.
5.)Impressive design
6.)Very smooth reflector.
7.)Tmart took care of the issues below.
8.)About 240 lumens
9.)1x 18650 battery (This is one of my favorite battery types for lights)
10.) Mode Memory on the light works
11.) TMart replaced my light to fix the issues below. (TMart has been very pleasant to deal with.)
12.) Fast shipping. Items shipped from within the USA on the east coast.
The bad:
1.)Tail cap switch had issues.
2.)O-rings needed replaced. (Old and dried out.)
I’d give this light a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Only reason for this is due to the 2 issues I had. Outside of that, this light is definitely worth the money if you’re looking for a light that can easily throw the light a long distance. Keep in mind that this flashlight has very little flood.
Bottom line: I’d recommend it.
If you guys want more information about this light, ask away.

Head Lamp
The Good:
1.)Good Flood / throw
2.)Aspherical lens
3.)Bright
4.)Stays put when placed on your head.
5.)Battery life seems good
6.)Common Battery (3x AAA)
7.) fast shipping
The Bad:
1.)I don’t like how you get to the battery compartment. (Not a big deal)
2.)Might be heavier than some people like.
3.)High > Low > Strobe? Why a strobe on a head lamp?
I also give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It is the brightest Head Lamp that I have personally seen. I have yet to run the batteries dry. This light will be going under a thorough test at work.

Green “5mW” Laser Pointer
The Good:
1.)Common Batteries (2x AAA)
2.)Seems brighter than 5mW (I'd say 15-30mW)
3.)Beam is visible at night
4.) fast shipping.
The bad:
1.)Batteries rattle a little bit in the tube.
I give this laser a 5 out of 5 stars. It’s very cheap, but it works very well. The beam is beautiful. I did test it on a black garbage bag and it did produce some smoke, but no holes. I recommend this if your looking for a cheap laser to play around with….just don’t shine it in anyone eyes or on planes.
