Review : Utorch UT01 Flashlight (XP-L V6 / AA & 14500 / e-switch)

Battery’s pcb ? Yes (but not really good solution)

How about clip? I have a similar light with a similar clip, and I can not insert easy, is very closed for the flashlight

Regards

Clip is really hard to insert too.

Thanks for confirm. I any case, great light for 14500 unprotected and awesome for NiMH.

UT01 ?

Thanks for saying this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHn1BFt-u0

The user manual is a complete photocopy of the Manker E11’s, just without the Manker logo.

Without trying to sound too controversial, may I ask if this torch, and the UT02, have been copied out of spite for Manker?

Btw, thanks for the review, giorgoskok. I’m now going to buy more than one.

Sorry , UT01 i meant .

So, only 0.3-0.4mm length difference makes such a damage... :(

I guess that there might be even some IMRs that won't fit then.

Anyway, I've ordered a pair of 49.5mm UR14500P and a pair of 50mm TF IMR14500, so I will have 14500s that fit, but... do you think that there might be a problem with flat-top cells? Will the UT01 work with these?

They will fit.
Most IMR without button top work ok

Thanks, George.
(Still naively? hoping for a shorter/protected/quality cell out there or a work around)

Thanks Giorgos! :+1:
Give us the lumen/cd data now, cause I can’t wait… I wanna order this little AA monster and compare it ot Mi7! :smiley:

I will update the post when i have these values , be patient :smiley:

I was, till I saw the first part of your review! :smiley:

Only think that it needs special treatment is the length of the battery , nothing more .

Updated OP with intensity measurements .

Now running runtime test (Medium mode , 14500 battery) .

Tomorrow will update with amperage draw on AA and lumens . These should have been updated today but i had zero free time…

Thanks for the info.

I don’t want to pull the thread off track at all……but somebody help me. This was in the OP:

Eneloop AA 2000mAh :

Amperage Draw :
Lowest –
Low –
Medium –
High – 4.2A to 3.3A

I am not going to claim any sort of knowledge here…but how does a AA put out 4.2A??? I don’t understand all these currents, draws etc.

I wrote it that ways because i see 4.2 amps in my clamp meter for some seconds .

Don’t forget that UT01’s driver , when you insert a AA battery acts like a boost driver . boosts 1.5 volts to 3V that led operates .

Also measured output with AA , high mode is about 340-350 lumens .

Thanks, this has been a helpful review!
I’m not a fan of mode memory in an EDC light - do you know if there’s any reasonable way to disable this, like a solder blob across key contacts on the driver?
Thanks!
