New Ultrafire flashlight: UF-T1

[UPz]

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

[djozz]

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.

Got one today in clear plastic gift box secured on foam recess and tied with red ribbon. No spare O’ring and operation or instruction is non-exist. Try to use the ribbon as lanyard? Put the empty cell holder body to reach for strong magnet, absolutely immunity. Found the tissue free of aluminum/metallic dirts after rubbing the lubricated thread; a vague touch of friction typical to titanium felt. Overall polishing work is O.K. but with extreme fine hairline traces, tail portion with very small lanyard hole is surprisingly good up to perfect mirror finish grade. Normal dry AAA cell works fine with small diameter positive pole. LiIon cell on hand has large top and the rim strikes on the raised up electronic components on the driver board and therefore impossible to make contact. Unless one could find LiIon cell of proper pole size or with proper modification, do not push hard. No spring found on head and tail ends inside except a sponge ring perhaps for protecting the driver board.

Fatlokwok, can you post a link to the one you purchased? Was it the $38 version from the official site? the $20 version from the official site? or the KD version for $20.44?

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.

A street deal (in the great Apliu street Ultrafire outlet) is USD22.00. List is USD24.00.

I wasn’t sure if he was saying he bought it there or that it can be had for $22 street price locally.

[UPz]

You’re right JohnnyMac, after re-reading the post I’m not sure neither…

[fatlokwok]

That is, I gave the sales lady HK$200 cash and she was pleased to give me back HK$30 despite the normal price HK$188.

Received my UF-T1 yesterday. My first impressions: A fine torch. Nice smooth threads. Imho it is not titan, but I’m not a professional.

From left to right: DQG III Ti, III SS, UF-T1

What's it like compared to DQA III Ti, III SS?

What the light output like?

Can it take 10440 batteries?

It looks slightly bigger than the other two.

Does DQA III Ti has a clicky?

@how2

Does DQA III Ti has a clicky?

It’s a magnet

[JohnnyMac]

I have a UF-T1 on the way from DX to be reviewed. Looking forward to this one. Might just end up on my neck lanyard instead of my Ti.

[Infinite]

Yes, it’s greater than the DQA III. Notably longer…

Specs from UF-Shop: 5.9cm(L) x 1.3cm(Diameter)
DQA Ti: 57.5mmx12.6mmx12mm

Hello Infinite,
Could you be more specific when you say greater (disregarding dimensions or weight) ?

[That_Ninja_Guy]

I finally go around to doing this. Purchased from UF-Shop.

Didn’t like the color, so I sanded and redid it…

[UPz]

is it titanium anodizing? :heart_eyes:
I’ve dissasembled the head of teh light. You can anodize the head too!

Yes, I should have mentioned that.
I wanted to keep the head bare at least for the pics. I might do the head, but try the light as a whole. I accidentally anodized the threads on the body and now my light is not very happy.

[UPz]

How many volts have you used for that dark purple anidizing?

[That_Ninja_Guy]

It really seems to depend on the item you are doing, but for me, somewhere between 40 and 50 volts. I use batteries so I never really have exact voltage.

[scaru]

Why use electricity? Heat is the way to go. ;) I have anodized a titanium spork simply by tossing it into a campfire, it came out the next day in a nice rainbow color.
