What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

not red, but amber

Pros: The polarity is correct and the quality seems decent.  The emitter snaps right into the 1918 23mm optic's holder, though I suspect a lot of light will be wasted since the optic does not surround the dome on the LED.
 
Cons: The two emitters I got are NOT RED.  They are Orange/Amber.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: The two LEDs I got draw about 280mA at 2.7v from two freshly charged NiMH AA cells according to my multimeter.
I haven't gotten an optic plus power on these yet so I don't know how the output compares to something like a Planet Bike  SuperFlash with its 1/2 watt red LED.

Luxeon/SSC-type Red LED.

Pros: Can replace Luxeon/SSC-type emitters.
Decent brightness.
Reasonable price.
Doesn't have a gummy dome.
 
Cons: Crees are probably brighter.
No coloured emitters mounted on anything smaller than a 21mm star.
 
Other Thoughts: It makes for an interesting outdoor experience. You can use the beam as per normal, but you can still see your surroundings as good as if you weren't using a (regular) torch.
Also the ambient light in the red wavelength is less visible, which makes it useful for stealth purposes.
Uses around 0.5Amps at around 2.4 Volts
My last review got screened because I padded it with dots to get to 500 characters. I'll also not mention it's performance in comparison to a third party add-on for a popular range of torches in case that was what they didn't like.
 
Bottomline: The only option for torches with Luxeon/SSC optics.
 
					

Surprising Quality

Pros: Incredibly bright for the money. I put this into a cheap flashlight I had laying around. This actually outshines my friend's $120 Surefire Flashlight. While I don't really know much about how to check for quality, it seems to be solidly constructed. I have no complaints what so ever. Its especially good at night or in dark areas because the red does not inhibit your nightvision at all.
 
Cons: None. If you want a good red emitter upgrade, buy this one.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: A great buy for the price, no question.
