New Ultrafire flashlight: UF-T1

My guesstimated nett weight of UF-T1 is between 20g to 25g, including some silicone grease and spray applied. My scale readout resolution is 5g. It gives a well-rounded 50g readout with a designated 50g reference weight.

A new observation is that the negative contact should be pressed fitted inside and therefore the tail end is fatter than the rest of body.

FYI, the TANK007 E09 depicts nett wt. 490g in the printed English version of physical spec. while the corresponding Chinese version counterpart is 12.7g. I will honor the second figure.

Listing says made BY Titanium, not made OF titanium…

$20? I’ll stick with the thru-nite Ti which are readily available for 10 bucks!

That's a bigger light

thru-nite Ti Length: 72mm Diameter: 14 mm

UltraFire UF-T1 5.9cm(L) x 1.3cm(Diameter)

I want to order one. Just a few questions before I do, is R5 or XP-E (XT-E) better? And What are the differences?

To fatlokwok, how low is the low mode?

Thank you.

Cree XP-E, High 120 lm, Low 20 Lm (likely configuration)

Works with AAA carbon/alkaline(1.5V) or Ni-MH(1.2V). Doubt with 10040 (3.6V) both electrical and physical

Most compact but smooth and manageble hi/low twist actions, good knurling, tail stand OK, clear glass lens

Low production costs is prime, service life might be short

Real solid titanium (Olight’s remark about its S10 titanium ver in the official website worth a look)
more resistant to harsh chemical and physical environment (known to survive in sea water)

Can buy 2 nos. all aluminum Thrunite T1 instead (brass pill with best twisty mechanism)

Weight empty is 11.4g and typical carrying weight with carbon 18.7g / akaline 22.8g / Ni-MH 23.0g

So its not worth it? I just wanted it for the novelty of owning a titanium light.

I have a Solar Force X3 as EDC but it is a bit too heavy. Maybe the Thrunite Ti is a better choice.

NightCrawl can you contact the manufacturer and confirm voltage. Kaidomain states max 2.7v, manafont AAA battery, DX 1.2 to 1.5v and ultrafire shop UltraFire 10440,AAA size x 1

I think this light is aluminium and not Titanium

Looks like all the same light w/ xp-e despite claim of “R5” or xt-e.

Could well be Ti since it’s made en masse.

I doubt it is Ti. None of the pics have the look of Ti but rather of aluminum to my eye. Also, there are lots of small AAA lights out there, what’s special about this? I’m assuming it isn’t real titanium.

fatlokwok has a Ti Olight and says this is also Ti.

BTW, fatlokwok, do you have a DMM to test current draw?

Low 50 mA DC
High 415 mA or 0.415 A DC

1.2 V Ni-MH battery

Optimised for 10440

Or alkalines. Higher draw (>>1A) from a AAA kills them dead in a few min. I would like to know if anyone finds 10440’s to fit in these though (or if 10440’s work at all). Seems like the blue trustfires or whatever don’t.

My reported 415mA still falls comfortably in the measuring range of my analog multimeter but near the highest 500mA limit. I am lucky to have this Medium value measured or otherwise would damage the meter. While I could recall a BLF member shared a High 500mA for a Klarus NT20 among others with his new DMM, Kreisler’s doubt might reflects a depleted Ni-MH AAA (less than USD 40cents) adopted by me. Although an affordable DMM with 20A DC is common nowadays, I want one could measure up to 50A for 3 or 4x18650 scenario and, imagine it is technically feasible, clamp type for a direct trouble free measurement. I need so time to check it out. I spot small affordable clamp type DDMs but not even up to 250mA max.

I have one coming for review.
Let’s see if it’s worth! :smiley:

The UF-T1 is now on cnqualitygoods for 19,50. They claim it is made of stainless steel:

First it was listed by manufacturer as Titanium, then DX said it’s Aluminium, now CNQG states Stainless Steel…

I’ve one coming from china, but will still take 3 or even 4 weeks to arrive, if everything goes well.

Fatlokwok, you never said where you got yours from. This light still interests me if only for it’s diminutive size but especially if it’s really titanium.
