Where did you get it from Tom ?

Thanks

Edit : I guess banggood had it in stock some time ago , i thought they hadn’t any stock at all

BG - ordered Nov 11th, shipped Nov 24th. Dunno - maybe they shipped a couple of them before stopping. I had a knee arthroscopic surgery done Monday so haven't been downstairs yet where my stuff is - I'm still using crutches, so can't do much in testing/inspection yet.

The battery tube seems like the biggest issue - upsetting to not be able to use LK 5000's because I got a ton of them and still think they are the best. Lack of a manual is weird too. Just noticed the driver has a retaining ring - dunno what to call it, but has the 2 holes for a tool and it's not threaded, just clips in there - seems quite unusual in a flashlight.

Dunno if this is Hank's or not - need to see the driver - might help. The spring on the driver looks like what Hank uses in the Emisar lights.

It’s in stock now at BG and code works. (black color only) :expressionless:

Anyone know what size is the driver?

Also does anyone know where to buy the green color one or how to purchase it from here:

EDIT: is that site showing price in Yuan? 780y = $124 USD ??

How many are interested in green model?

Thanks freeme for considering the green model. Hopefully others besides myself will have interest enough to get some of them in stock for this deal.

This Maeerxu M8 has become my leading choice between it, the UT02 and D1S. No green color for the D1S like D1/D4, not sure I’d like the sandy texture anyway. I’m getting bored with all all the black or grey flashlights, would like something different, this green looks real nice.

The green color may not as bright as it looks in the stock photo I posted above, here’s some from the Chinese site that were posted in reviews, but camera’s, settings and monitors could show things differently.

Photos are extremely small as I couldn’t figure out how to view them full size on that site.

Green color show:




Interested in green

Interested in Green as well

I could be interested in the green, looks nice.

What emitter actually XPL or XPL HI ? Tom E got the XPL HI but at BG spec It’s XPL.

edit:

From the picture it looks like XPL HI.

Because of Tom, the photo and the distance spec (800m) I’m counting on HI, but Banggood really should fix that in their description.

Soylent Green is people …

just sayin

.
Green is the New Black :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for disappointing me - and preventing from wasting money.
Both battery fitment and thick bezel matter to me - I wanted a superb host and this doesn’t seem to be as good.

I also read this before, but personally it didn’t discourage me, I really want a SS bezel so it was actually good to read: “it’s a nice chunk of SS”, and the head is only 4mm larger than the DS1.

And the battery issue should be easy fix, shorten a spring or add a ring of copper wire for length, and some sanding in the tube if it won’t fit a LittoKala IMR Lii-50A

I should have noted that I expected a lot. I expected Shockli 26550 fitment. I expected reflector diameter about half way between ut02 and d1s. I hoped for enough space for inductor. I hoped for overall quality better than ut02’s. I already have ut02. If I didn’t…I would still prefer UTorch, but not without giving Maeerxu a couple of thoughts.

Had to go ahead and order one. Got black but green would be pretty nice for a change. If one is offered I would probably get another in green. It really looks nice in the photos.
Posted code worked.
And now the long wait begins… :slight_smile:

Thanks freeme.
I ordered from your link here: Freeme’s Link

I like it so far but the UI is a bit different and will take a little getting used to.

Here’ a couple quick pictures until I can spend a litle more time on it.

M8 arrived in this little protective case. Took 10 days total time from ordering from Bangood to USA

Maeerxu M8 included a spare lens, O-rings, lanyard, and micro USB charging cable.

It’s got a nice deep smooth reflector, and a stainless bezel.

The illuminated side switch comes on while the light is in operation and while charging. I placed a 26650 cell next to it for size comparison.

The Maeerxu M8 looks like it will be a good thrower, and it reminds me of the D1S by Emmisar. It’s got a really nice hot spot. I’m excited to wait for nightfall.

:+1: Looks good, thanks for posting. I’m still holding out / hoping for green to appear.

Does anybody know the tint? Cool tint available? Green color available? I see no options to select…
