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.

Good value reflector

Pros: Made of solid aluminium.
Well made.
Good quality.
Holes on underside for screwing in/out.
 
Cons: None of my torches could utilise the threads, the threads either stopped a centimetre or two short or were incompatible.
The reflective surface is just a coating, I tried to get some heavy fingerprints off with a DX microfibre cloth after grinding off the threads. They didn't seem to come off, and the bumps of the orange-peel surface revealed a coppery colour underneath. So it has to be treated like the surface of a CD or DVD.
 
Other Thoughts: This is a tough one to get 500 characters for so I ended up using it in sku.6514. It took up more space than the original reflector but the head had just enough thread left over to screw on securely.
 
Bottomline: Good value reflector.

Very nice texture and build quality.

Pros: Its built extremely good, it is made of of solid aluminum which helps to enhance heat-sinking.  The coating on it is very good, it is a medium orange peel and very shiny.  Also the hole where the led goes is the perfect size for cree's, and because of that it has no donut hole in the beam(ie, no black spot in the middle of the throw). 

Cons: So far i haven't found any con.

Well maybe theres one, i should of ordered this sooner :D. 

Other Thoughts: The fact that it is made of metal not plastic like many reflectors are is very nice.

Too bad they don't sell reflectors just like this but bigger. 

Bottomline: If you want a super cheap reflector that works amazingly well go with this, you wont be disappointed.

This reflector cleaned up my MTE's beam

Pros: - All aluminum construction is rugged and enhances heat sinking

- High luster surface finish

- Effective texture for beam smoothing

- Generously sized pinholes for installation and removal

- Fits MTE 1xAA light (sku 6162) 

- Precise machine work and beautiful finish for less than two and a half bucks!  What a bargain.   

Cons: - No relief for emitter leads on underside

- Threads aren't bad, but could be smoother
 
Other Thoughts: This reflector did an excellent job of removing rings and other artifacts from the beam of my MTE/Luxeon rebel pocket light.  It did, however, noticeably enlarge and soften the beam's hotspot and thus reduce its intensity.  Since my intention is to use the MTE as an everyday pocket light and stopgap bike light, the new fatter hotspot is actually a good thing for my application.  

I had to tape over the LED leads to prevent shorting on installation, because the flat bottom of the metal reflector lacks any relief slots through which the emitter leads can pass.   

Bottomline: This nicely finished solid aluminum reflector addresses the one noteworthy misgiving I had about the MTE Rebel 1xAA light-- the smooth plastic reflector with its swirly beam and iffy heat evacuation.  The transplant was not a simple drop in, but it wasn't a troublesome ordeal either.
