I choose this switch because of this can handle CREE XHP50.2 LED at high mode. Please don’t be worried. The quality is good. We will not choose to use any cheap components to build the flashlight.
Under the Jaxman X1, the pills were sharpened under different drivers, 22 mm, 20 mm, 17 mm. What’s left without work, has been used for UltraFire F13. LD-29 with a resistor of modes up to 4.5 A and Cree XM-L2 U2-3B plus a reflector Luckysun D80 give an amazing hot spot
I’ve seen it, but the fasttech description never mentions that it takes a 26650. Looks pretty familiar. I might get an F13 just to have a AAA emergency backup, since the K5s didn’t include that carrier.
Still for $33 with a constant current (no PWM) driver and an XHP50.2, I would have a hard time saving any money building my own from an F13.
Good to know, and thanks for your response. I took this light outside last night, and I’m thoroughly impressed with it. The switch noise probably only bothered me because everything else about this light feels and looks high quality, so the loud clackity switch seemed anomalous. But knowing that it’s a good quality component, I’m sure it won’t bother me any more.
Great light, at a great price. Thanks! After a day or so with the K5s, my wish list of Kaidomain lights is growing.
Good review. I just put in a order for a Kaidomain KF8. I was looking at the K5s and that will be my next light. There should be an option for a bezel the same color as the rest of the body.
Thanks Again
Thanks. I hope to do some real outdoor beamshots soon, but given my current health, I’m not making any promises.
I really like the SS bezel, also. It’s very nice looking.
This was my first Kaidomain flashlight, and I’m having to force myself to stick to the budget before ordering more. The K6 looks like a poor man’s GT. That’s pretty high on my list.
I and I’m sure some others would like to see this same light internally but in a Ultrafire F13 body or in a Convoy BD06 body but with tail switch only. I would pick up at least a couple. Made by Kaidomain. The K5s is not appealing to the eye at all.
A complete flat black option version for the K5s would make me buy one for sure.
I ordered your E6, KF8 and aTrustfire A8 and look forward to them. Thanks for the great products.
Maybe a anodizing color change could/would be the most fees able option. K5b (K5 black)
Even though I usually prefer SS bezels, I think that’s what I like a lot about the Manta Ray C8.2, that’s similar to this, it appears a more “matte” black anodizing than most, just wish it had the NW option.
My only “complaint” is that the top 3 modes seem bunched-up at the top. From 5% to 35% is a huge jump, and from there to 65% then 100% is hardly any visual difference in brightness. I have lights like that, and they’re great for when you want lots of output (those rare times I use them, I usually just keep them stuck on 100% and forget about it), but they’re lacking that versatility of having evenly-spaced modes.
Maybe 5/12/30/100 would be better?
Would the drivers be reprogrammable, by any chance?
Other than that, it looks really solid, and I’d love to get one… or two.
Hope you like yours as much as I like mine. I’m partial to high CRI emitters, but this warm xhp50.2 is pretty nice, too.
I just got back from a week at the cabin (camping, essentially), and this light was pretty popular. It’s just a good all-around mix of flood and throw, and the whole family liked the tint.
This and my Sofirn C8F were popular for seeing deer retinas at night, but the Convoy L2 beat them both. But not by a whole lot.
