Not a great light ..62mm.head ,side button ,USB

8000 lumens from an XM-L2? Impressive!

Also, I think its more like a 60 mm reflector (not inches). Perchance a hair less, given head diameter of 62 mm.

All things told, it would be interesting to see what comes of it. Who’s going to take the plunge first?

Ooops …Yeah 60 mm :stuck_out_tongue:

I also like the bigger body for use with 20700 - 21700 Batteries

Same as the Soshine tc7

wow … Gearbest sold it for $9.50 // Google says 11.06$

That side button sticks out way too much…

I knew it existed with another name since all their lights seem just re-badged

Does anyone see the USB port? I dont see it in any of the pics and they don’t show a cable either. Misprint?

It looks like the larger model takes a 26650.

I would almost buy the large one and do an experiment where BLF members tell me what parts to order to mod this and make it a beast if it is a good host. I could take it apart upon arrival and use my calipers to measure everything and post pics.

*** ( Pics are not mine ... found on Banggoods comments. )

The USB is hiding behind the cigar grip ring .

I like the FOY Bezel too

Check out the thickness of that bezel :frowning: Reflector looks smaller that I imagined / hoped

Yep! It’s cryo-cooled with LN2!

I’d been interested in these 6 or so months ago when they were on Banggood, but I never pulled the trigger before they were discountinued. I found them again on AliExpress, but the prices were too high.

For $15 though, I think I may give the 26650 version a try. I don’t think the 18650 version really offers much over a C8, other than the side switch.

Re the bezel thickness, I think that photo exaggerates things significantly. Look at some of the photos in the product listing and it doesn’t seem unusually thick.

Do you think BOTH have the supposed 8000 lumen AND the same throw?
(they really mean 800 lumen, right?)

8000 lumens? If you were to swap in an XHP70.2 and a 2x26650 tube, maybe. Otherwise, no.

Throw does look much more realistic.

Interesting light! Could be an interesti g mini thrower!

I ordered the 26650 version. It arrived in the US. Should be in my hands in a week or so.

I bought a couple of the small ones. The threads were very loose on the battery tube. Not a bad looking light with dual switch. I swapped in a blf A6 driver with TK’s Anduril. This is just piggybacked to the stripped down stock driver to keep the electronic switch. The stock switch seems to have a very quick double bounce which plays havok with the new driver. I’ve ordered replacements so will see how they go when they arrive.

I’ve got one here , not good for my taste .

Reflector is made out of plastic , and overall quality isn’t that great .

I will post teardown pics in a few hours …

Let us know your review on it Eas.
I ordered the smaller one.

A company that doesn’t do anything except re-badge and re-sell doesn’t inspire confidence .I didn’t mean for people to go rush out and buy it I just assumed someone here already had .
Also not sure what it means when a company lik Gearbest has the light and it gets discontinued so quickly looks like a ebay kind of light and I’d found it when looking for deals on the 8000 lumen poor mans thrower …. I do like the look but can believe it has Sipik68-like quality

looking forward to some members reaction to this light .

Here is the photo album of the flashlight …

I don’t have much time to do a full review or take better pictures for now , feel free to ask anything you want .

I have two of them and the reflector is made of plastic. I wanted to replace the plastic one, but no other reflector fits in this light. I bought every reflectors in this size, but non of them is in the right size.
