Remember to share you pics.

quote=TheAuditor]Mine turned up this morning, 5 days from China is really good. 7 hours until the sun goes down :-) [/quote]

Some review will be nice. :wink:

Soon. [quote=Satan@103TFS] Some review will be nice. ;) [/quote]

I had a brief play with my one last night. Its a thrower alright. White wall hunting shows some rings and some yellow blobs in the hotspot but its not a flashlight for close up work. It was illuminating trees approx 300m away with no problems. I ran out of time last night as there was a party going on in the street because of some wedding :slight_smile: Beer does not drink itself.

I would love if this light had a 4000k or 5000k LED CCT option. Would make for a very nice thrower.

that means the led is properly seat in the middle.

:disguised_face:

I finally got this puppy ordered!!!

My phone never would work and then I kept getting an ā€œInvalid Codeā€ message when trying to use my laptop. :person_facepalming:

I finally just gave up. But I revisited it again today and finally realized the problem was operator errorā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ :open_mouth:

The code was ODxxxxā€¦ā€¦ I thought. BUT, in reality it was 0Dxxxxā€¦ā€¦. :person_facepalming:

It worked like a charm when I finally typed that first ZERO ā€œ0ā€ rather than a capital ā€œOā€ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I know it is confusing, I have another member misread the code too. Will request to change to a more legible code soon.

I finally just typed the ā€œzeroā€ on a whim & it workedā€¦ā€¦ :wink: . I should have thought of that soonerā€¦ :smiley:

Well I got mine yesterday and it looks good.
Build quality and ano seem alright, the led is perfectly centered, the lens has a coating, the charging seems to work and the packaging was very good.

Howeverā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.the reflector looks weird, like not 100% reflective, lots of machining signs and a little ā€œfuzzyā€ (by lack of better words to describe it).

Iā€™ve compared it to the reflector of my Acebeam T20 (roughly same diameter and depth and to the naked eye the differences are quite clear, but itā€™s difficult to make pictures that show it clearly.
I tried though. Hope you can see it too.

Charging my best 26650 at this moment and IOā€™ll take throw measurements asap and let you all know.

Cheers,
Nico

Interested in code please.

interested.

Got my light today:

The first impression it made is the second worst of all my lights. Second after $1 plastic junk.

  • anodization doesnā€™t look nice (but I canā€™t tell if itā€™s sturdy or not)
  • light came dirty with some grease
  • switch cover is heavily scratched, as if it was heavily used in the item it was recycled from
  • bezel - colour looks bad, not like on pictures
  • bezel - has 4 black areas as if it was held by something during dyeing
  • dusty reflector
  • fuzzy reflectorā€¦and in some places has larger orange-peel-like imperfections.
  • LED off centre and not just a bit

Positives? OK, there are some too.

  • magnetic connector works well
  • the light is fairly lightweight and a bit smaller than I expected
  • threads are well lubricated (though the lube stinks badly)

Mine is supposed to be here by Monday 11 June. (hopefully it will arrive a day or two earlyā€¦ :wink: )

After reading these conflicting first impressions I will be interested to see what mine looks like & what my impressions are. :smiley:

Well, could be a lottery - I have got 3 of them and all with clean, shiny reflectors, could not see any other fault like off center emitter, etc. One was with black bezel and the latest two were with blue bezel. Charging working well on all three.

I have played with one of them, measured 263K candela from 11m with HS1010A, shined it @500m - looks OK and within the spec. I think the turbo should have also been able to be memorized, as switching on by the forward clicky is bringing you only to high, while Turbo is not that hot to be dangerous.

For me the light is excellent bang for the buck. Lets see how it will perform on a longer run.

Bad news for me, maybe I need to reconsider, which single 26650 light could be a good base choice for modding.

It might beā€¦ā€¦ :smiley: But I feel lucky. :wink: I am thinking & hoping all will be well like with your three. :+1: . :beer:

Further impressions:

Mine arrived yesterday.

IF it was a ā€œlotteryā€, as mentioned aboveā€¦ā€¦ I WON!! :wink: . :beer:

Perfect as far as I can tell. Blue bezel has those 4 super tiny ā€œblack marksā€ that were mentionedā€¦ but as far as I am concerned that is not an issue at all.

  • LED is perfectly centered
  • Reflector is clean & nicely done
  • Finish is well doneā€¦ both reflector & anodization
  • It was packed very well
  • ALL IS GOOD!!

The only complaint is it has a Chinese Owners Manualā€¦ :smiley: . :smiley: . :smiley:

Charging up a 26650 & will check the rest out later.

This seems to be an excellent valueā€¦. as in ā€˜great bang for the buckā€™!!! :slight_smile:

Extremely pleased & may order another. :+1:

Nice to hear, I started thinking I am extremely lucky :slight_smile: Have fun with the new toy.
BTW, as far as I can trust my luxmeter, my light is within the specs.
