Review : Utorch UT02 Flashlight (XHP35 / 26650 / usb rechargeable)(in progress)

It is when the cells are below 3.6 Volts.
And for 2.5 Amperes it will have to deliver more than 10 Amperes.
But a fat 26650 can handle that easily.

My mistake. You are right, sorry

Why does the info say this light has a belt clip? I don’t see one.

Is the sense resistor the one marked in orange in Manker’s driver?
Can you show a pic of this Utoch driver?

i think it’s too small to be Sunt resitor

That’s what I think too.

It’s exactly the same driver .

Yes, the resistor in orange is the one that i changed (added resistor).

Can you read “Manker” in the Utoch driver? :frowning:

I have 2 of these beauties, lucky me, here are the amp reads thru the 5 levels, for one of them, the other is slightly lower, 2.25amp. UNI-T meter and a Purple Efest 3500 off the charger! Pics of the dirty reflectors too!

Is the sense resistor the same value as the manner u21? If so, then there is really something weird going on.
If not they may have just used the wrong resistor?

Thanks for the pictures and the testing, a shame the QC was so bad. I really like this flashlight, XHP35, 26650 and side switch. I really hope GearBest will find a solution to the problems.

Somehow I will make this little beauty work, I just ordered a second NW so I better :smiley:

Sense resistor is same value , and Gearbest confirmed that the light should perform better.

They are currently looking into it , and there could be only these 3 lights defective.

Is it advisable for low price but low current or necessary to wait a solution

Well…I just got mine last night. As I said before, I don’t know how to take such measurements (only have a decent multimeter, no clamp etc) but I can say my copy is not performing to the level of my Manker U21. Side by side with the same battery, the Utorch is not as strong on turbo as the Manker. They’re both decent at about 200 yards, but the Manker will throw significantly past that. The Utorch doesn’t have much left after that distance.

Think I should contact GearBest too or just wait to see what you hear back?

I would be satisfied with (2) New Improved driver’s and (2) new clean reflectors! The lens should clean up, I hope, with out scratching? I can swap them out, they were meant to be presents by the way! Good thing I bought a few extra Nitercore MH20 and MH20GT’s!!! :wink: :+1:

Is a bit is dust on the reflector that uncommon that it is concidered quality control issue? Half the lights I buy have some sort of something in the reflector. I just thought it was normal and just usually blow it away with an indirect blast if compressed air.

Let’s see maybe it’s common for lower end budget lights, but if your in the Game to make mid and upper end lights then NO! I can deal with a spec or two, not this, but then I guess it all depends on what you want to settle for, low performing not to spec, filthy reflector blow it out and it remains, dirty glass lens, you clean it, and then it leaves scratches in the AR coating, naw not me!

Ya. I understand.

My one got 4 amps at tail cap with normal multimeter leads. So it’s running normal power.

Update: I can not get higher then this reading. Some thing weird is going on. I think the driver may have a weak component?

Just checking…… Do you mean a Utorch or Manker?
