Not easy
I will continue to try
Wait…
It is easy to disassemble
I will post photos……soon
From the pictures it looks like an LED Lenser style zooming TIR. However, the outer ring of the TIR appears to be frosted. So the spot beam has a lot of spill in it. Result should be a spot beam that looks like that from a Coast flashlight and not nearly as much throw as if both TIR elements were calibrated for throw.
Dang! Your photography is exquisite!
Got mine today via Amazon. Meh. Doesn’t zoom in and show the die as I expected. Kinda blurry soft hotspot.
UI is not terrible imho.
I’m going to have to swap the emitter I think. Stuck with the driver since it has the charging and eswitch.
This was an impulse buy and I’m not all that thrilled with it.
If you’ve got the itch to grab a light, make sure you know what you’re getting into with this one.
Also verified the zoom 1 name. It’s printed on the label that way.
I get min Tomm…im ok with the zoom in…but hows the zoom out? I hope its ok.
Out isn’t bad, but retains some of the squarish shape. It could stand to go a little further out and get more round.
Funny to say, but the cometa spoiled me. Although I do have a white flat and l4p driver in mine.
Took my Zoom1 apart tonight because it wasn’t all that happy the way it sits anyway.
Measured draw at the emitter too. Once I got the pill unscrewed from the head.
04a L
0.50a M
1.19a H
2.29a (double click turbo)
Used a UT210E directly on the emitter wire with a VTC5a installed fresh off the charger.
Might be able to drop a white flat right in.
Any updates on modding this light? Martin has a deal goin on this light now: https://m4dm4x.com/m4d-m4x-deals/
From the teardown above, looks like a driver replacement would be easy. Guess all depends on the optics and focusing.
Thank you for the review Steel. Once again, your pictures are amazing!! 
Ohh, yes - thanks Steel! Excellent pics!!
I have to say that I really like what I see here:
- 21700 cell, 40 mm head, not very long - nice format, must feel good in hand
- e-switch
- USB charging
- push-pull action
- probably - Lumintop’s good overall quality
Lumintop chose to use a partially frosted lens to smooth out the beam. Fair choice. I suppose it avoids the problems with a hole in the beam in intermediate zoom positions.
With the versatility that zoom1 offers it could easily become one of my most used lights.
There are several things that could make it better and most seem to be achievable with modding skills somewhat above mine. 
- Lumintop, if you go for beam quality - how about adding high CRI options?
- Narsil / Andruil would be awesome
- XHP35 HI seems like a natural choice for this light with its better efficiency, better throw and easily double Turbo output ( GXB172
). - Type C….Lumintop offers it in several lights already and I wonder - why not this one?
- How about adding a powerbank function?
With these changes….that would be nearly a dream light.
I dropped in a white flat. Had to sand the mcpcb a tiny bit. It was a 16mm, needed to be 15 or so to fit the cap that covers it. Super east mod other than the sanding. I used a Dremel with sanding wheel.
Kept the driver the same. Long press to off kinda sucks.
Meh, still. Hotspot, zoomed out, is still too big. Not nearly zoomed in enough to get a clear die shot. Needs another few mm of outward movement.
I got 16,314cd with the oslon. Didn’t bother with the stock emitter.
21700 will not fit out of the box, gotta buy their tube. Quality is good, just not happy with the short zoom distance.
16 kcd with white flat and 40 mm head? That’s bad. 
I guess the host deserves further improvements on the Lumintop side….
Here’s the zoom 1 with white flat ~20” diameter at 10’ 16kcd(max)
Zoomed all the way to the smallest beam
Here’s the cometa with white flat ~4” diameter at 10’ 334kcd(max)
Zoomed all the way to the smallest beam
and for reference, l2 with white flat ~5-6” diameter at 10’ 464kcd(max)
Oh boy, definitely not a thrower, unless figuring out a way to extend the lens out more.
Removing the optic and holding it further from the emitter yielded 59kcd with the zoom1. Beam pattern was nearly identical to the cometa in this configuration.
Lower current than the l4p drivers i’m using in the other lights.
This was very close to the optic being flush with the end of the head (bezel removed), and zoom fully extended outward. I don’t see a realistic way to mod it without a new head.
Ok, it's a flooder with the ability to narrow and lengthen the flood zone 
i wonder how many lumens lost at maximum zoom
Atleast 50, probably closer to 75.
You don’t get a zoomie cause you care about lumens…
From flood to zoom mine reads 440lm then 338lm. My sphere (spherical one) is baffled at both sides of the sensor.
About 77% of the value when zoomed in tight, so a 23% loss
edit: May be a bit low on both readings. Just put the battery back on the charger. Was at 3.84v for the readings I got above.
