Pros: The MTE M3-2 is a very BRIGHT light that I use when I go camping. It has great spill which is quite useful when its pitch dark and I'm out walking in the woods.

Cons: After a thorough cleaning of the unit and treatment of the contact points and threads with Deoxit: absolutely no cons

Other Thoughts: Initially the unit flickered in all modes or simply wouldn't turn on. A reviewer suggested treating contact points and threads with Deoxit, but after treatment the unit was only slightly more reliable still with flickering issues. I considered returning the M3-2 but decided to take it apart and thoroughly clean it first. I found the problem was rubber cement on the Mylar separator that is positioned between the reflector and the emitter. After removal of the cement the unit functions flawlessly.

Bottomline: Longhorn Tactical sells the MTE M3-2 (with charger & 2x18650s) for $159.00 plus $6.00 USPS Priority Shipping. On DX you get the MTE M3-2, 2x18650s, and a charger for around $55.00 delivered. All in, that's a 66% savings. This is a GREAT light for DINKY dollars. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the MTE M3-2. THANK YOU Deal Extreme!

Pros: Great light.
Well spread shoot
Good construction quality.
Feels perfect on the hand, both weight and size are just right.
Mid mode is very usefull, high mode is perfect.

Cons: Crown seems to be glued on body. That will prevent you fron switching the led, not a big con tho, since I don't intend to do that.
Too many modes, Low, Mid, High and Strobe would be enough. If you get lost thru the modes just turn it off, wait 5 secs and turn it back on, it will start from Mid again.
Sometimes tailcap won't make contact with the battery, just tighten it a bit and it will work.

Bottomline: Delivery took 12 days. I ordered a bike support which wasn't avaliable. DE sent the rest of the items (light, batteries and charger) and sent a card along, explaining the problem with the support. Seems like it's been sent already, still waiting.
The price was just right, now it costs less than I paid. The flashlight met all my expectations, actually I thought 700 lumens would be fair but it is VERY GOOD indeed.
I absolutely recommend this light.
I'm working on a battery pack with 4x 18650, but I need something that allows me to take the batteries off the pack and recharge them on the charger, don't want to charge all batteries on the pack at once. Any tips are more than wellcome.

Pros: -ridiculously bright
-great throw and bright spill
-medium level is the perfect brightness for normal use
-small size and good balance in the hand
-uses 18650's aka lots of Mah

Cons: -had zero thermal paste
-some solder joints were cracked
-head is glued onto body
-might not be real MTE but who cares

Bottomline: i use these to explore mines. they are perfect for this! extremely bright with good throw to get down the long tunnels and bottomless pits. and the spill is wonderful so you can see your surroundings. two lights spent 2 hours today underground on the same battery's using med and high settings as needed. they work great and dont cost too much to get dirty/scratched. if you could only buy one flashlight on dx id recommend this one

Pros: Nice beam with plenty of flood. Medium mode that comes on first is plenty of light for most uses and one momentary click kicks it up to high for far away use. In my homemade lightbox using a cheap lux meter, it measures about 3.5 times the brightness of my Pelican LAPD 7060 for about 1/3 the price. Not nearly as tightly focused as the Pelican so a lot more useable flood, great for bike light. Could be used for self defense in a pinch. I would hate to get hit with that pointy scalloped bezel.

Cons: Had to put a couple of drops of Deoxit on the threads to get 100% reliability of the modes.
The 700 lumen figure is probably way optimistic, but still a great light and a great deal.

Bottomline: Buy it now!
