UF H6, alternative headlamp for ZL H600

I will find out about PWM n post on beamshots later. Need to figure out how to.

So when is the group buy? :bigsmile:

If there is no review upcoming from a reputable reviewer, I might post something later. I'm currently trying to take it apart to see what the internals look like.

If I canā€™t get my H3 fixed Iā€™m buying the H6. I just hope the parasitic drain isnā€™t bad.

H3 is hard to mod, but doable:

I thought I was the the only one having a hard time with it. Thanks for the link! :slight_smile:

I received both of mine today. At first I thought they both didnā€™t work but I had to really screw the tailcap on hard!!

I like the modes, the brightness is awesome, but I donā€™t like the switch. It is too small and recessed to easily access.

Also, I pulled the lens off and am considering frosting it. I tried with scotch tape quick but couldnt get it to apply as nicely as I wanted.

I also want to find someone to swap a NW emitter into it for me :stuck_out_tongue: Anyone capable? It is easy to get the bezel ring, lens and reflector out, but my skills arenā€™t up to the task of swapping the NW emitter.

Hi,

Have uploaded some beamshots. Not really pro at doing it. However, noticed that there is PWM in all brightness modes. Un noticable to the eye.

Low.

Medium

High

Turbo

The bottom cap of the H6 could be extended to cater for longer cells. I am using Sanyo 2600 unprotected as there are no issues with it. Unscrew the bottom cap and remove the copper plate / springs. Using a 10mm diameter washer or small coin and place it at the bottom. Screw the retention ring and copper plate back. The circuitry is connected only on the unadonized bottom of the H6.

Size comparison.

Does this thing have a large or intense hotspot?

I has a small smooth reflector. But the result seems like an OP. It has hot spot. relative large with good spill.

Tube is pretty tight, HiMax dont fit and so I guess XTAR wont fit either.

Are they too thick or too long? What are their measurements? And what measurement battery you need to use this lamp?

Iā€™m thinking about ordering this and some battery if I just would know one that fits. :slight_smile:

Too thick. HiMax are about 18.84mm in diameter and the tube is about 18.7mm. I think edc mentioned that long cells wont work either.

I guess TF3000 work, if you can find decent ones. Or other rather small cells. Flat top work, as well as button top. So maybe the new Solarforce V3 will fit. Or clear wrapper Sanyo cells (MarsFire) and so on..

Problem with HiMax is that they have a clear wrapper over the white wrapper. You could remove it, but the white wrapper is a little brittle.. so I wont do that.

Would 18.2 mm cells work?

Can someone take out the reflector and post a beamshot please?

I havenĀ“t had problems with the diameter, but flat top cells doesnā€™t like this light.

I jus figured out the problem with the lenght of some batteries, is the retaining ring does not hit the end of the tube of the flashlight, I added just to try a little bit of aluminium foil and now it works with all my batteries, even the flat tops, where the problem was really with the length not the flat top.

So, I understand the best solution would be to leave a round lip on the exterior of the retaining ring by taking away a few material of it, or just doing the aluminium foil trick for longer batteries.

It is a pity having to do this, as I like it a lot in general, but for this.

Is it possible to remove the reflector Yavi?

I would not try, it looks like I will scratch the bezel trying it, the bezel doesnā€™t have any protrufing part where you could force it, nevertheless I am not that good at it.
