Boruit Headlamp Review D10 (aka. EHL0628) - King of the Budget Headlamps?

Thanks gb. :+1:

Thanks for the review and PWM evaluation! :+1:

Looks like a nice budget headlamp, but the interface seem abismal D:

PWM 16 kHz.
TIR from Convoys works perfect. Swapped led to samsung lh351d hi-cri :+1:

Do not be afraid to cut the lens, you cut off the idle part of the lens and this does not affect the light.

Or you can use TIR 17mm from Skilhunt, it is another good option.

Why do you say that?
One click on, one click off.
Press and hold to cycle through 5 brightness levels.
Plus hidden strobe, SOS and Beacon using a dbl click.
What’s wrong with that?

Wildcat, so that the Convoy TIRs fit, you had to cut them, right? Cause the ones I had didn’t fit, but if I file the edges they will probably fit.
Unless my headlight has some difference from Garry’s, because it was not bought as “Boruit” but in Shuolide store. I don’t think they differ, but I may be inducing people in mistake… I hope not!

I guess the 17mm TIR will fit more easily due to the internal measurements of the bezel!!

Thanks for the tip on this :wink:

Wildcat, thanks for chiming in on this.

Yes, you just need to file the edges that the TIR entered the bezel. With any 3535 LED (xp-g, xp-l, nichia 219, samsung lh351d) TIR rests directly in the star. It is only necessary to add an o-ring between the TIR and the bezel for tightness.

Thanks again Wildcat :wink: Gonna test the difference between the TIR and the simple diffuser over the lens to see how it works and then check the one that will fit better on the healight!

Thanks for sharing :wink:

clicking goes off >med>high>off, seems terrible if you use any other modes

Gary, are you trying to hide some trustfire flames? Boy oh boy ;)

The Medium > High is only possible in a short time window.
If a click isn’t done quickly (within 2 seconds), it will be Medium > OFF.
BUT, from Medium, through press and hold you can reach the other levels from Medium > Low > Lower > Highest > High > Medium >…. . After stopping the ramping, and after 2 seconds, a fast click turns it OFF. Within the 2 seconds period, a single click leads it to Highest mode
So it is easy on this to access to other modes :wink:
And, as garrybunk and JasonWW said, blinky modes are well hidden :sunglasses:

:smiley: :smiling_imp:

:smiley: Shhhh!!!

Sorry for the stupid question - are the ramped modes memorised? Do both the modes ramp or just medium/first mode? For example, would it be possible to ramp up on the medium (first mode) to make it higher than the second mode, so it’s essentially high mode first?

Thanks!

When you click to turn the light ON, it always starts on Medium. From then on, to ramp, you press and hold, and the output levels always go down: Medium > Lower > Lowest > High > Medium High > Medium.

So the only memorized mode is Medium, no mater in what level you turned it OFF!

BUT, if you turn it ON and the make a single click from Medium (within 1 second), the level you get is HIGH! And from then on, you can ramp it down in the cycle I mentioned above.

Through press & hold, you always go down. Through single click, in that short period, you can go up.

Whenever you start to ramp down, if you make a single click (within 1 second), the light will go to High. Always within 1 second. After that period, the light shuts OFF.

Hope it helps :wink:

EDIT: I tested it again and the period is shorter than 2 seconds, maybe 1.5 seconds, but if you want to take it to High right after turning it ON or starting ramping down, it is better to be within ± 1 second!

That makes sense! Thank you :beer:

So if you’re using it on level 1 out of 5, the lowest level, and you have to turn it off, it won’t turn back on at the same low setting?

So basically, it has no memory.

That’s it JasonWW :wink: It will always turn ON on Medium!

Its too bad some of these lights are getting little complicated for the everyday wife/younger person/regular weekend camper.
I can see them remembering the functionality if they use it for a long time and if this is the only light they have, to avoid muscle memory confusion.
IMO so many of these newer flashlights arent made for the everyday person due to UI,

What size mcpcb does it use?
i have got some spare MPCB’s from S2+ mod’s, it might be nice to swap in one of those
