Mine came yesterday - has the same engraving. Not much time to test, but she lit up fine. It's definitely gawky, quirky look - head is way too big for the body, maybe I'm just not used to something like this. Even the 134 mm head of the BLF GT thrower (in drawings only) looks proportionally sized, just the 2x4X battery tube fools you for what size the light really is.
Didn't tear mine down yet, but the threads are definitely spikey, and also the ano has some chips, very much like the one ARsee pictured.
Quality degradation process already started!
When you ordered they probably did not have much orders to fulfill but after this review many people ordered in short time, they had big demond and many orders to fulfill so they speeded up the process, find supplier with cheeper price and flashlights in stock.
It aint a luck m8, its a matter of quantity you know, rofl
With all those hosts ordred i have lotsa “clean” ones, sometimes, ready to go flashlights arrived instead of hosts, sometimes quite different items like a hd camera or power tools, diy electronic stuff or even a broken UMI smartphone
This light has a 100% match to the classic HD2010 reflector, same PITA flat bottom with no clearance for wires. The pill, of course is much smaller though. Mine had the bezel fully threaded down and the LED centered. Got about 1.7A at the tail, definitely not a East-092 driver, but looks like a current sensing or limiting resistor.
The LED though has marks or smudges on, reflector is very clean, the MCPCB is epoxied down and is tiny - ~14 mm, 1mm thick.
ARsee, the first thing to be sure of is that you don’t short out the cell with the base of the reflector touching the two contacts on the mcpcb. That was the first big deal on the HD2010. Use a big file and bevel off those edges so your wires have some room. (or however you prefer to go about it)
