Review: Aleto XML-T6 5 Mode 26650 "Zoomie" - The big brother to the Sipik SK68! *PIC HEAVY!*

Great review jmpaul320! I’m ordering one. I was looking at these a while back. Thanks for reviewing it. :slight_smile:
Edit: That’s the same seller that I got the Aleto 26650 thrower HD2010’ish looking light (aka UltraOK 26650). Good seller.

btw, forgot to mention, I’m not sure if they claimed stainless bezel, or you assumed from the picture,
but DX had an sk98 style light out before the sk98 was released, “new c56” i think, and it had a bezel that looked like that. It was crummy silver anodizing, looked terrible and made mild artifacts.

black bezel is ok w/ me :slight_smile:

Great review jmpaul! Looks like this one will go on my wishlist. Interesting mode changing with momentary on. Oh, and quit blaming me for making you buy lights! :) .

Love all the pics and video, thanks for sharing them. I like Aleto’s lights they always have new designs dirt cheap. And they ship pretty quick compared to most Chinese vendors.

its not a bad thing garry :slight_smile: keep it up!

i will take some more measurements of the lens

for those who are wondering… it has the same throw to my eye as the sk68 clone on 14500… it looks like this light is just a ‘scaled up’ version of the sk68… bigger light… but bigger die emitter so same throw… but far better beam quality and better heat management :slight_smile:

im not sure if the pill is hollow, although i would just assume so at this point… heat sinking could be improved by filling it with solder :slight_smile:

Great review jmpaul320. Very good in-depth review with excellent video’s and pic. :wink:

Thanks for the terrific review. Apart from one thing your review was perfect. You stopped the jokes. looking forward to your next review.

Nice review of a surprisingly nice light. I ended up buying one just now thanks to you.

Nice review!

Does it have mode memory or do you have to cycle through each one?

7 Mode: high / middle / low / strobe / sos

thanks for the review, and thanks for making me buy another light. nah it was half garry’s fault too, for finding the light …
did you purchase yours from that link garry posted?

that is too wierd that you just posted this. i was just gonna come back to this thread and say before i make another impulse buy, does jmpaul have the m12 to compare and now it can be answered. so we know the m12 is of better quality, but how about in terms of brightness in flood mode, which is brighter and floodier, and throws further?
jmpaul, is this as bright as your m10, no right?

do you or jmpaul have one of those tubed lights like a 2100 or a hd2011 , s2/s3? or anything you can relate in ccomparison to let me know how bright this 26650 sk98 is. i know he mentioned 1000 lumens or so, but i doubt it looks 1000 lumens in flood mode. all my zoomies in flood mode look rather dim.

it has memory

updated post #2 with answers to questions!

is there a 18650 version of this light?

Sipik sk98, or you can get a sleeve and use a 18650 for this light.

Nice review, lucky for me its a zoomy. Resistance is no problem, its the one kind of light I absolutely will not make the mistake of buying another of.

Incidentally, the 26650 Gary made me buy was an aleto too……

Care to explain yourself Gary? :bigsmile:

Interesting, thanks.

I guess when I order I’ll get 2, so that I still have one after the other gets destroyed getting the lens out lol

Umm. . . I'm just passing on good finds to my fellow BLF'ers!

anything garry recommends is something you must have.

if you doubt that simply look at his defiant 3c thread… its…. huge.

hmm…so this only puts out a bit more lumens vs the sk68 both in flood mode? that doesnt sound very bright at all.
so that means this light is no match for that m10 you got right?
