How big is that Aspheric?

That looks like a very fun host.

No LED base ?

I have my light like this, LED stick on reflector.

76

Slight delay by recent typhoon.

Zoom in for close up.

Pros:

  • Uni-body design.
  • Reasonably bright. 2.5A with one cell.
  • Matte anodizing.
  • It only cost $20 for flashlight, charger, 2x18650 (requested not to ship with) and case.

Cons:

  • LB LED (as expected).
  • Plastic reflector.
  • Cheap glass lens.
  • No thermal paste.
  • PWM on low mode.
  • Aligning the tailcap with the body is quite tricky.

Whats the driver size and where do you order? I am thinking XHP conversion……

78

I didn't tear it down complete because i need to ship it out soon.

79

Odd, how does the driver fit in there? Guess we will have to wait for someone to get one and tear it down. The plus side is that it could be a 17mm driver inbetween the cells but that doesn’t make a lot of sense.

80

Or a special oblong shape or ….?? Doesn’t have to be round.

81

Thats what I think it is, but I was being hopeful.

82

Weird spring/contact arrangement — both springs on the tailcap — and this is for 2 cells in series?
No electrical lockout possible, I’d guess?

83

I think the cells are parallel.

84

Come to think of it, it has to be parallel, since it says

Hm, actually interesting, if there’s a way to buy it (without junk charger and batteries bundled)

85

Just curious, am I missing something with this post? It was marked as rude.

I don’t think I was being rude but it is usually hard to see your own rudeness.

So is this just someone having a bad day or am I missing something?

87

Mr. Taobao would take that as rude

I don't see anything there at all - weird.

88

Does not appear rude to me.

89

I see no rudeness either.

90

Yeah, I kinda figured it was just someone having a bad day. Oh well. Back to your regularly scheduled program……

91

Hm? How do you know a post got dinged as “rude”? You get a notification? The message shows with a blood-red background?
