Review: Ultrafire M51 (MT-G2 P0) and mod

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)

And you gave them the bird?

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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)

definitely above normal ultrafire or xxxfire quality!

is that what you wrote? hehe

Nice review. Great pictures.

Gotta agree with others. Too expensive.

That’s one heckuva good looking light
But $120+ ?? For an Ultrafire??

I’ve got the K40M and it cost less than this :frowning:

I see what you did there.

Decent light for 70$ max, for more they can keep it :slight_smile:

Great review anyway….
