The Ultrafire CREE Q5 is a very small, single AA/14500 powered LED flashlight made of aluminum alloy. Available at the Chinese site Banggood.com in blue, red, green and light green case colors with a white LED, the Ultrafire CREE Q5 provides light output for about 2-3 hours depending on the battery capacity and the brightness of the light beam.

With a sturdy and textured case, the Q5 LED flashlight can be held tightly in the hand and you never have to worry that it may slip away from your control by accident. The whole appearance is quite fashionable too. In addition, a tight pocket clip is attached to the body so that you can clip it onto your pocket, your belt, your suitcase or you bag in a safe way. The torch is weight 74g when loaded with a battery and 56g when battery is dropped out from the gadget. Its length before stretching out for a better focused light beam is only about 9cm. The body is so small that it won’t attract even a second glance from the same person you meet. Likewise, with proper mounting equipment, you can mount it on certain hand pistols, rifles or shotguns.

Based on my personal rating, the top 3 China-based online shopping sites to buy 2014 prom dresses are Lightinthebox.com, Milanoo.com and Amormoda.com. In particular, Milanoo.com is getting increasingly popular in the field of prom dresses or school formal dresses, standing out by superior designing, premium tailoring and competitive pricing.

Store Positioning

As a veteran fashion store, Milanoo.com provides customization service on all formal and semi-formal dresses it carries. I have been personally witnessing its rapid growth since it was founded years ago. In recent years, I notice that the site is steering its direction towards a more focused fashion shipping site, shadowing the less fashion-related products such as home and garden supplies or cosplay costumes while highlighting formal appeal like wedding dresses or prom dresses. From my point of view, it is a smart positioning for an international store. Be honest, I hate to see that more and more Chinese global shopping sites expand their product lines blindly by adding various un-related products to enlarge the catalogs and stocks. I believe that focusing makes a store more professional and dependable.

E-commerce Milieu

Thanks to the convenience brought by the development of e-commerce industry, now we can shop whatever with different stores located in different places regions or countries around the world. The days when we had to buy costly prom dresses at our local stores have completely gone. We can easily order a formal dress of our desire for a school prom at an online shop and get it custom-tailored by providing the correct sizing. Besides, making payment can be safely done online, too while speeded international shipping allows buyers to get a package from a foreign country in just a few days.
