Was flipping the bird really necessary? :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice review. I really like the design. How many lumens is it cranking out?

Thanks for the review. My favorite led. I stand to be corrected but with the higher voltage of the MTG-2 the wiring for the same current to an XML can be smaller with the MTG-2.

Great review and pictures. Wish they would have gone 4S cells instead, but pretty cool looking light none the less. Thank you.

Ah.. sorry. I was reading something on BLF!

Not sure about the lumens.

but the ceiling bounce was 280 at startup, and settled at 262 within a few minutes.

I don`t have any lights that I can compare it with, I have the Supbeam and SRK from dx, but both are taken apart.. still waiting on parts.

I wrote down the SRK from DX ceiling bounce lux, and it was 309 at startup. That`s all I have.No idea how many lumens.

My DGQ 26650 NW had a ceiling bounce of 170 on Turbo. (which should be around 1200lumens or so)

SWM D40A and F40A are in the 120-130 ballpark. (both around 900-950 lumens)
So I don`t think it would be a bad guess if I`d say the Ultrafire M51 is around 1900 lumens. (just looking at Djozz graph here)

11

And you gave them the bird?

12

Yes... somebody was trashing one of my threads ;)

13

Not bad light for a Ultrafire but a little bit pricey. For the money (actually - for less money) I’d get Supbeam/Acebeam K40M which is better in basically every way.

14

really nice looking light!

if it was priced a bit lower… maybe ~$75 it would be a must have… but at that price of $120… just buy a K40m or s2200 i guess

15

This looks like a different category to the s2200. The s2200 has a massive head on it so these are a different thing IMO. Easier …or maybe not… to carry?

16

The M51 has a very nice Low as well, which the S2200 doesnt.
And yes, I think the price should be below $100 for this light.

17

Very nice review with lots of pictures, thank you very much. :slight_smile:

But to be honest if I want to spend $120 on a MT-G2 light I will spend it elsewhere (i.e. K40M). I’ve never seen this M51 in real so I can’t say it is not good, but simply have a feeling that it should be priced below $80.

18

Thanks.
I actually don`t want to have too many pictures in my reviews.
Some have soo many pictures, that I don`t even read the text.. it just looks like a catalogue.. buy it, be happy kind of thing.

So I add some pics in the end, and I link to many pictures, or have mouse overs and such..

I don`t need to see 5 pictures from different angels of the bezel.

5 pictures of the lanyard

5 pictures of the holster

etc..

but that`s just my taste ;)

feel free to comment about reviews in general in this thread :D https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20189

I don’t know about the others but I personally prefer a lot of pictures. :smiley: And I see you did have a lot of explanations, dimension measurements and runtime graph too, it’s full with info. :slight_smile:

By the way, did you try to shine this light in lower modes on a spinning fan and could you notice PWM patterns?

20

I just took a picture, exposure of 1 second.. and I can`t see any PWM.

The following is from 2 lights, that use PWM. also 1sec exposure (although a little better focused)

21

definitely above normal ultrafire or xxxfire quality!

22

is that what you wrote? hehe

23

Nice review. Great pictures.

Gotta agree with others. Too expensive.
