Edit: One store near me was already sold out of these lights, but another one still had some. I doubt these will last very long at this price.
If there are objections about the cost of (potentially) buying other things like a battery or a charger, consider that some other people already have them so that's not an issue for some and you're not the only one who can look up prices on additional accessories. The comments section is often used to provide additional information, not posted by the OP or anyone trying to sell you on an item and the information is free.
Anytime they have more than one battery, like 3 or more, expect that they're just using a dropping resistor to limit the current.
Pass for me as I too like a single AA, or something that can use 18650 cells.

A couple of differences that I noticed from the similar 3xAAA / Atomic Beam style …
1. The shorter battery tube, as mentioned above. (The 3x model has more of a protruding nub with a little more length to the battery compartment
2. The zoom action is a bit stiffer and isn't as smooth on these (it has a more noticeable ribbed motion)
3. There's no wrist lanyard or hole for one like on those models.
And no, I'm not complaining about a $3 light … just mentioning a few differences from that other popular clone model since a lot of people may be familiar with it.
Edit: It looks like there's now another Amazon deal for that other common clone variant at two for $6 …

I have not bought any 14500's since I find the single AA's last a long time with modern LSD NiMHs
I do own a few of those Olight flashlights that have an integrated rechargeable Li battery and charger port. They go on sale a few times a year for ~ $5 shipped.
I am curious, what the switch housing looks like in the current version?

If looking to use18650 batteries, I'd say the model Amazon is selling at two for $6 would probably be a better fit. That one has a different design with a slightly longer battery tube. Also, I popped in an unprotected 18650 when testing this one, so it might be even tighter with a protected cell … I think those are usually a tad longer.
