Hi mizzou51!
Is there any possibility for you to tell the measures of the reflector, please?
Outside diameter of the top, inside diameter of the hole for the and height if the reflector!
Thank you in advance :+1:
BTW, if you want to had a magnet to the flashlight, you can try to glue a ring magnet (Ex: Convoy store in AliExpress) on the tailcap, or some flat magnets in the clip (using heat-shrink tube)! I made it with almost all my flashlights and it works fine
Thank you very much I’ll be waiting for the information then
I guess that there are better materials than those I used, but I glued mine in “flat” tailcaps (Manker E11 and Sofirn SP32) with “alpha cyanocrylate” glue. If you want take a look at the results here: What did you mod today? - #3171 by MascaratumB
Hi mizou51!!
Thank you very much for sending the photos with the measures! It will help a lot in what I have in mind!
Btw, and sorry for this request, can you tell me the height of the reflector, please?
It is not necessary a photo, just the measure please
Eheh, no problem! Thanks for the help on this!
Just to say, I want to see if the reflector will be suitable to make a mod in another light ! This is the closer I get in terms of measures
So I think I’ll try to get one of these flashlights, take its reflector and maybe the other one works!
Thanks for the review, it’s always nice to see such a thorough review of a truly “Budget” light here on BLF.
I’ve seen these online and thought about ordering one because I like the COB side light, but I was worried it would be complete junk. Looks like it would be worth my time to pick one up and do some easy mods on it.
Hi mizou51!
I just received a similar flashlight and it is really a deal!
I bought it for 1,84€, so it’s really cheap and pretty good to indoor use!! Especially the COB light! :+1:
The output is not the greatest but I guess this is really good for a cheap light! There would be a lot of things to change, of course, but the UI is the only thing I’d change radically.
Starting on a lower mode and then the higher would be the first thing; then, I’d add the possibility to jump the “front light” modes directly to the COB (as sometimes a more floody light is needed); and perhaps I’d drop the blinks on COB light.
But, overall, I’m quite happy with this, so thanks for your review and comments! And also for the measurings you’ve done!
I’ll probably take the reflector and lens out (to use it in other light), and I’ll put a TIR lens (if I manage to…).
Good review, just received mine today from Aliexpress. Bought mine for 2$ but it has a stupid “Enjoydeal” branding etched on the host.
Overall it’s a good light for the price but it can’t tail stand, but that’s okay since it can head stand while using COB mode.
It also has the Next mode memory which is very annoying.
Update:
Apparently there is also a zoomable version of this light.
Mine is labeled “probe shinny” ,bought from Alie usd 2,12.
I swaped the led with XP -G2 neutral ,usd 0.79 on Alie , and I am very satisfied how it light up now.
I got one from Aliexpress and it appears to be a different manufacturer or they are cutting costs. Mine lacks the white bush that sits between the LED and reflector. The tail spring looks smaller and it doesn’t have the 4 holes to unscrew the switch housing. The body looks thinner too
It weighs: 33.96g
Mine has low mode on the cob and flashing on the main LED
Next mode memory just ruins a great light.
Fresh eneloop:
560mA cob low
1.8A main high
(1.8A) flashing main
1.8A cob high
I guess you could just swap the outputs on the driver to have low COB and flashing main or low main and flashing COB
The body allows an AA to rattle around a bit and the driver has “CX-WFL50” printed on the bottom
You need to install a resistor, parallel with the capacitor on driver board with value from aroud 1MOhm to 2MOhm.
This trick will discharge capacitor in a certain time after you switched OFF the light, so it will turn ON at first mode next time.
If you click fast enough when ON, those functions still work like normal.
Hope it helps.
what about the pencil graphite method? will that work?
Update : I don’t think that might work since I believe the light is writing it’s mode to eeprom because the light remembers next mode even after days of no use.
