Thank you Krono. I got mine too, but I just haven't had a chance to look at it much. Used it a little and my experience with that is the same as you reported.
You are welcome.
Thanks for the review, it seems like well build lights really only start at 10 dollars, and that is reasonable of course.
Good quad host (also takes care of the plastic lens issue at the same time). I’ll be building mine into an MELD light, the charger port will be filled with a 5mm encapsulated UV LED. There wouldnt be enough room fir the wiring with the MCPCB in the stock location but with the quad needing the MCPCB raised way up its not an issue, gives me plenty of room to work.
Excellent review.
And that looks like an awesome mod Cereal Killer.
This light looks like its external styling is a clone of the Sunwayman C21C
Wow, that square head looks real good with the quad optics C_K.
Thanks for the review. Sad to see it's so poorly designed. I agree, C_K's quad looks very nice!

Nice review on the light, Krono. A shame for the poor internal design otherwise this might have made an awesome budget version of the Hammer light (a light I've wanted for a long time).
C_K. as always, you have turned another sow's ear into a silk purse! :)
Yeah, the quad looks awesome.
Imagine it with quad XPL and FET driver. Then accidental turn-on in the pocket! |(
Reviewing is new to me, so I really appreciate the kudos. Thanks, fellers! 
Actually, the lack of a shelf and the charging port can be looked at as a positive. This light would be much more expensive if they had got those 2 things right.
Mine will be getting copper disk inserted and the charging port will be either threaded into a tripod mount or become a beacon/indicator light. Replace the spring with a short copper dome and you got lockout capability.
I haven’t read the review yet, but that is a beautiful house.
Thanks for this review krono. Almost pulled the trigger on this light.
Excellent review kronological
CK how will improve the thermal management since there is only a small shelf on the head, possible potting behind the star?
I used my usual method- first I shaved a stack of 1” copper disks down to fit flush in the head (reduced them about 1-2mm, they almost fit as it) then I soldered them into a slug then I JBweld potted underneath that to hold it as the correct height.
Did you take any pics during the process? I didn’t see a thread on it.
When I first saw this light and how cheap it was I wanted to start modding it. I haven’t modded a light yet, and after some research it seems like it may not be that beginner friendly. I was originally thinking of making it into a Mule.
Got mine in, 3/5 is a good rating for this
Definitely a “budget” light, and kronological’s review is spot on…not a “bad” light but not the greatest either, but as C_K above…I think I might do the quad mod, problem is there ain’t alot of meat at all in this light, barely any fins and nowhere the heat can go…so driving it hard for long periods is out of the question…I am thinking 4A~ total (1A each emitter) w/ turbo stepdown after say 60 seconds might prevent it from burning up.
Either way not a bad light for the price, sub $10 light with plenty of “potential”
Heck I think this thing with a XM-L/L2 or now a XP-L on 20mm Copper sinkpad/noctigon would definitely perk this thing up even with the stock driver, much more light but not that much extra heat.
Yup, just measured, 24.25~mm diameter, depth from top of head is 25mm to star
Gonna get me a triple from RMM, it’s cheaper than the quad and I don’t think this guy will handle the heat as well as some larger rigs, not sure if I want to tackle a custom driver w/ MOSFET for better modes and higher power though
Did find this though

Whopping $6.76 a piece for a lot of 5
Driver does look moddable w/ either bridging the resistors or soldering lower values in though…probably bridging them will give the best performance
Great review thanks a lot.
The magnetic tail is impressive
Finished up my quad Nichia 119 today. Total cost; about $12
A lot of filing on a 17dd_PIC, thank God for gnd plain’s cause look at that GND ring!
Edit: just realized, this was my very last 70N02!
