And yes, this is the halloween edition. They just had that on their site when I wanted to buy the flashlight, so I thought why not. I think it looks pretty funny. It was technically delivered on halloween as well, but I wasn't at home at the time. That's why I only have it since last saturday. Anyway, it's a pretty nice flashlight, really bright for the size:

It just feels so nice to use and gives you the impression that you have something high quality in your hand.

Also thanks to y'all for making posts in this sub. Looking aroung this community let me to get this flashlight. It's nice to have a community with people who find flashlights interesting and make good recommendations.

You can get the FC11 (clone) for about $10 (about 10€) with a battery - I have a few just as backup lights around the house.

I did buy the better batteries for ones in my 72-hr bag (I live in an area that gets sudden, severe weather emergencies).

It's been great to have a light that can run continuously for days (lowest output is a few lumen, great for power outages)

The FC11 is not a clone, it is the predecessor of the FC11C with a less efficient driver. The FC11C is worth the upgrade, if you want longer and better regulated runtime.

I was saying you can get a clone of the FC11 with a battery for about $10.

Sorry that wasn't clear.

What's the "clone of the FC11" you're talking about? Do you have a link?
