Good luck finding it here!

True that. You will probably pay as much or more for shipping to buy from the States.

Thanks for the review.

I just had a look at our favourite auction website - there are a few sellers around the AUD$20-23, including postage.

I like the idea of using that USB to light up something in the dark. Sometimes I can’t see my keyboard even when my monitor is brightly lit.

14

Thanks for the review. Mine’s on the way… :bigsmile:

15

These guys are an official Xtar reseller and if they don’t stock them, get them in within 3 days. I dealt with them for a D06 warranty job. Good guys to deal with.

Thanks for the tip lionheart - prompt and clear response to my email enquiry and they added these items to their online store today. $7.20 postage but I ordered several as gifts so overall pricing worked out comparable to ebay seller.

Have placed order.

17

It's on its way to me!

18

No worries mate, I just emailed them myself about it as well as a new Xtar dive torch. What price did they do for you?
PM if you prefer.

19

Maybe a silly question (but someone has to ask em right?) but could you use something like this to make your iphone a portable torch using the UL1??

:smiley: is an interesting gadget. Great review JohnnyMac.

21

It probably doesn’t output enough.

22

Aw man, would have been so good.
That’s an old article, I wonder if anything has changed since…

23

Knowing Apple, probably worse. LOL. Is your iphone one without a flash that you can’t use a flashlight app for? Or just wanting a better light that works with your phone.

24

I’ve got a 4S, just thought the UL1 would be cool to connect to the iPhone for an impressive 180lm

25

Thanks a lot for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

26

Yeah the phone probably wouldn’t like that LOL

27

Thanks for the review, JohnnyMac. I’m definitely going to pick one of these up.

I bought one when they first came out specifically for modding. It’s powerful, and the diffused lighting along with the flexible gooseneck is perfect for aiming at those tiny 7135 chips while I’m trying to stack them.
I have a Coolook 4x18650 USB box in the mail from FT, which will be perfect as a solid platform for it as well as charging up my ipad.
