It is a little brighter to the eye than the TF, build quality about the same I would say.
The configuration on the TomTop site shows with the battery tube is misleading , as with the tube in that configuration the 18650 is at least a full inch too short to use the light that way. It will only work with 2 cells (or 3 if you have a second extension tube).
Thanks for the review, Robo. The Trustfire TR 3T6 is a flashlight I have been considering and this seems basically a cone. But, I think am going to save my pennies, waiting for the Maxtoch 2X. However this triple has a nice broad, floody beam with some distance to it and it looks like a useful flashlight. Your reviews do a good job of demonstrating a flashlight’s capabilities at varying distances. Very helpful.
Glad to do the reviews MB. Yes it is a low cost flooder with decent quality and decent output.
Really? Glad I hadn’t ordered one yet then.
Thank you very much for this important clarification!
So no way to work with just one 18650… 
I got to build a triple by myself…
edit:
that’s true 
Maybe with a spacer between the battery and springs?
Or putting 2xCr123 or…I don’t know… 2x18500 are too short.
The Lixada arrived with the tube extension (to work with 3x18650) or only with the 2x18650 tube?
Only the 2 cell tube configuration arrived.
Very nice to see this C8 on steroids 
But I must say, I really like the fact that there are flooders with cells not in series.
would it work with one cell?
The proportions are strange, thickness of tube is odd. Not crazy about the large spring ground connection a la p60 either. I wonder if the short tube is for 2 X 18500.
I like the amount of fins, I wonder if they can be utilized? Did you take it apart to see what the thermal path is like?
The short tube only extends, as it will not screw on to the head.
The still shots of the teardown are in the video. The pill and reflector are all one piece and it screws into the head with threads under the fins.
I found it intriguing enough to order one.
When I am done with it, it will be not so much the flooder and will work with one cell. 
Thanks for the head’s up, looking forward to the challenge.
Cant wait to see what you come up with on this one.
that’s right!
A big head (like C8 or Warsun Mx900 - always C8 style)
Triple led (ok floody/wall of light)
1x18650 (thinner body)
dual switch (tail cap on/off- side switch for changing mode)
Blf A6 driver
1-2 short tubes for extend the body
Budget (25-29$ shipped)
Let’s start a BLF GB
Man let’s hp[ejaxman is willing to work with us and provs to e a manufacterer!
This is a SolarStorm SP-03 triple XM-L2, triple yes but floody?
I’m expecting something like this from the Lixada triple as well. We’ll see.
That one is doing some good output.
Just want to put this out there for everybody. I did a bunch of research on this 3800. Lumen 3T6 a while back and have since modified 5 of them. Most recently the Trustfire XMK which is the exact same flashlight (pill/reflector) with new styling that seems to be better quality than the original but pill/reflector is the same. Fasttech sells the nicest Trustfire 3t6 I've found with an stainless bezel. Here: https://m.fasttech.com/products/0/10000663/1059701-trustfire-tr-3t6-cree-xm-l-t6-3800lm-5-mode
The XMK for $22.77 at gearbest. This is the best one for the money:https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/35289
The $19.00 or so for the lixada seems like a great deal since it comes with the xml2s but it would be nice if it came with the extensions for 3s cells. Fasttech may have one.
I put dedomed XML-2 U4 1C's with an MTN26DD zener modded for 3s cells in all the ones I've modified. I omitted the p60 style ground spring by soldering on copper standoffs to the driver ground ring to make zero resistance contact with the tube. Bypassed springs, bypassed switch board and spring w/18awg drilled thru brass button. Copper spring contacts. Throw in some hot Samsung 25R's or E-fests and these things scream. You have to hold on tight when you first turn it on. They got a little kick to em
I wanted to order one of them with 3 extensions BUT since they only come with 2 extensions I will pass ,thanks for the information
