Yes, it’s comparable to the 1503 which hasn’t yet hit gearbest to my knowledge. I like the looks of this one better though, if build quality is good it’d be a good alternative for people who favor slide zoom over twist style.
Edit for clarification: yes the 1405 throws further, no they’re not really comparable, the 1503 is comparable to it.
It is total diameter. 50mm. They messed the size.
I used tweezers to fix the star, and twisted the body, nothing happened.
Will try vise.
I want one!
I asked Neal…
banggood will list it soon 
Good news.
It use glass lens?
It looks like PMMA.
Gearbest has gotten the X65 in stock.

wish it was more than an XML
Emitter would go out or be at least dedomed anyway so… not that big of a deal IMO
Too bad it is 1 x 26650 / 3 x AAA, not / 4 x AAA or / 3 x AA. Those would be much better for gifts.
It is 3 x AA, as someone said above, so it is very good for those who don’t want to use lithium ion batteries.
Recently I tried to find cheap 3xAA light (as you said, they are good for gifting to people when you don’t want to explain everything about li-ion cells and spend more on charger and battery), won’t believe how hard it is…
Yep; do search here for 3xAA, there are a couple of threads with reports of finding a few still available; sort by date.
ordered one to experiment on.
Neal says they could ask for a XM-L2 version…
no, now i have to cancel my order, haha
Neal from Banggood? I think GearBest can have the L2 version too. Will check with Karren@GB.
Mine is still left unopened. Maybe at first I twisted it in a wrong direction, it's too tight to open now.
Seller told me to fix the LED base,and twist the body anticlockwise.
I will go to the factory and use a bigger vise to try. Scratches are unavoidable.
Post pictures if you get it open.
Another tri-color XP-E variant.
Did your flashlight get soaked or is it just happy to see me? :crown:
