BLF style 18650 1s thrower( poor mans Olight M2X)

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.

Mine shipped today…

Than you are lucky man. If there would be a choice I would rather have pure anodized flashlight without any Chinglish engravings.

How is the reflector?

The reflector looks good to my eyes. The dust is on the outside of the lens.

Mine too looks good. The I.D. looks to be a dead-on match to a HD2010.

It aint a luck m8, its a matter of quantity you know, rofl :smiley:

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

Nice guys! That’s most important. Still can’t wait for mine to arrive.

ARsee …is that an AR glass that i see? Kinda blueish…

Guessing it's a shirt or camera in that color.

10x Tom, you are prolly right

Kinda naive to hope for an AR glass, hehe

Anyway, i do hope that they wont ruin it as they did with so many other mod friendly hosts

That is the reflection of the camera body. No tint on the lens.

Lens diameter (flashlight) ?

Glass is 2-1/4" I did not have my metric rule on hand.

Edit: Size is 57mm

Here are more images.

SupWildFire reflector left. EagTac M25C2 right.

They are the same diameter.

Not cheap , and a little bigger .

I think a 58mm lens will work without problems, as there is about 1mm space around glass to bezel. Perhaps a little more

I bought this light as a mod candidate (would have been nice if it worked out of the box!!)

So, Mitko, (ET:All) please steer me in the right direction for a (best that can be) quality build.

I'm not sure I want to use the LED that come with the light, so, I'm open for recommendations for the best. Preferably ordered as de-domed.

I want to rebuild the tail cap, new driver, EVERYTHING.

This thing needs to be modded by me to suck me into the light!!

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)

You could add kapton tape over the wires as well. First though, I'd remove the reflector and see if the light works then.

Here's the pill along side a HD2010 pill. The LED cleaned up well with isop. alcohol - all clean as shown below:

Thanks for the tape idea, and filing for clearance of the wires.

The LED on mine has brown smudges too.
