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…
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.
XPL has dome but XPL-HI does not correct?
I haven’t torn it apart yet but looking closely thru lens I believe the emitter in the M8 I received to be XPL HI LED like TomE posted. It’s seems identical to my D1S ( XPLHI V2 5D 4000-4125KTint NW) in appearance, tint, and intensity.
I haven’t gotten to play with it much yet, but it seems to not get as hot as quickly as my D1S. It’s nice compact thrower. Looking forward to examine it more.
