Lightmalls shows the UF-V4 it takes a 14500 and says it's an XP-G. Guess this light will work with that headstrap from KD? I couldn't find a headstrap at Manafont. I see Lightmalls also has the Trustfire Z2 as well. From the beamshots on product pages it appears the UF-V4 puts out more flood (which I believe is more useful in a headlamp).
Edit - Here's the link to the "Ultrafire Elastic Belt" at KD and the BLF post about it. After re-reading that thread (in regards to the Trustfire Z1), I'm guessing I'd shoot for the Z2 and assume the reflector can be removed just like the Z1 for a beautifully even flood. And now I remember why I didn't like the Z1 - 16340 cells!
I find it rather good looking tho. It has a few lines that could be tought better but still. Too bad the body does not match the lines of the otherwise superb headpiece. A 16430 version with a bit squarish body tube would be probably awesome aesthetically.
looks like somebody smuggled the head out of the spark factory or maybe the factory that makes the spark lights are using none perfect spark heads and adding these bodies. good deal if that’s the case because I’m pretty happy with my st6.
Very useful flashlight and price. Ordered. It is XP-G. One of the cheapest XP-G lights around....i remember in early 2011 we could rarely get XP-G lights for 16 bucks.
Once I receive it, I will try to make a 18650 pack for the back of my head when recquiring longer runtimes, it should also help a bit with the bouncing problem these type of headlamps have with the Kaidomain elastic belt and similar ones.
I am not sure if there will be enough room on the inside even reducing the spring's length, It might be better to do it from the outisde, but will probably look worse:
And by the way a +1 for Manafont, mine has been already shipped, not like DX where it takes ages for that.
Mine just arrived. Puts out light even on a clinically dead AA I'd just pulled from my pager (Didn't have any other AAs around, these are really nasty lightweight alkies from the local pound (dollar) shop.) Produces much more gratifying amounts of light from a 14500 - my flame protected 14500's won't fit, they are too long.
