I have an AL1 which came with both battery tubes- the smaller one works fine with a 18350 battery.
The one shown on the Bang good website looks identical so you should not have a problem.
The only hitch Iâve encountered is the âstepless dimmingâ. I can only get five steps on the UI- low, medium, high, turbo and strobe. I assumed stepless dimming meant that by holding the switch it ramped up and down, but if it does do this then Iâm too dim to work it out. The light came without instructions and everything Iâve discovered about the light on the web is in Chinese.
I would however recommend the light, it is unusual and seems well made, its quite bright and the beam has no nasty tints. The beam is a good compromise between throw and flood and does not have any rings. Iâm not convinced by the AL1 logo on the head but I guess thatâs down to personal taste. Incidentally both battery tubes are quite short and would not fit any of the protected batteries I tried but it works fine with unprotected.
Many thanks for the UI diagram MascaratumB, unfortunately it confirms my fears that either my light is defective or my understanding is. It seems simple enough but will not work on my light.
I have mastered theNoctigon meteor without difficulty so I am at a loss.
Below is a translation from a description of the light on the Taobao website concerning the tail cap.
âImported Japanese Mitsubishi resin to do the tail cover, high and low temperature, strength and toughness and good, is not general plastic comparable, transparency, the bottom can also diy luminous paste added fun. (for this material, we have been used in industry for many years, used in flashlight, we should be the first, for his strength, you do not need any suspicion, as long as it is not to take a hammer to die in the lane, normal use You are not bad, with bad I faulty products!) â

Grabbed another Wuben A21, CW this time from banggood with your coupon. I just had to have two of these theyâre so nice. Thanks again for the original group buy and the banggood coupon! :+1:
Probably going to get the new Lumintop ODF30C as well. I already have the original. Love that light too. Should have had USB charging on the original, but at least they have added it now.
