Muto Review: OrcaTorch T11 AA EDC XP-G2 Updated Beamshots

No, bad white balance on cheap camera, I should have tried different setting, sorry.
I’ll try again tonight.

Seems pricey for what they’re offering.

Muto… I received one as well. I completely agree with your summation. I will not be posting a review here as it would be identical to yours. I did post the first review on Amazon, if anyone is interested.

I really like it. 14500 and memory would make it just darn near perfect!

Thanks Matt!

I new whoever posted it on Amazon was well versed on flashlights and thought it may be a member from here but wasn’t sure who it was.

And to member greenlight’s point, it is not a cheap flashlight but that was not their intent. It is glued like the Zebralights, so it is not intended to be mod friendly by the Mfg. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the users skill level.
I must say it is darn hard to get most flashlights apart without getting some dust on the reflector and once it’s there….

Anyway it is what it is.
Thanks
Keith

A little over priced but nice.

Nice review!
On first beamshot picture, I thought the lines were PWM :smiley:

:beer: :beer: :beer: Cheers for your review.

At a first glance this should cost about $20-$25…almost $40 is too expensive.

Thanks for the review, Muto. Picture #6 had me confused for a while; thought this light has a head spring (+ve) as well! (does it?)

Cheers.

No head spring, here is picture down the throat as it were. Brass colored contacts.

HTH
Thanks again!

Mine hasn’t arrived yet, still waiting.

Question, you say ” well regulated and steps down as voltage drops”
does that mean a low voltage warning stepdown? Or a slow decrease in brightness as the battery gets drained?

Thanks for the review.

I put a Keepower 3.7V 14500 in mine and it works just fine.

How much did you all pay for the torch with the promise to review it?

They sold me one for $5 from Amazon.

This was the first time I’d been offered a discount on a purchase with the agreement to review it.

I pointed out part of their description was copied from a different manufacturer of a 4AA flashlight.
They replied

and later

That seemed bogus. Anyone know? I wondered who’s giving them advice about how to sell on Amazon.

I wrote an honest review at some length, stating what I paid and what I thought needed improvement and why.

They asked me to change it after I posted it, for reasons I won’t (yet) post here, but I wonder if anyone else had such happen.

I have been too busy to post my review. I paid $5 as well. This is a $20 light at most. It isn’t a good tactical light because it starts on low and has a reverse click switch. I am wondering if this “review plan” of theirs is not going well.

How long has it worked fine??? Brightness increase?

PM sent.

All in all I have run it for an hour. Not straight for one hour. The brightness didn’t really impress me, I have no real way to measure it.

The specs for the price are still good if you look at other brands like LED-lenser similiar output for about the same money but this is built better.

Agreed, but not a true budget light and not a good mod candidate. I have tried fairly hard to open mine and it is just glued to well. I have not tried placing the head in solvent yet, may be the next step. Has a very good beam profile, just needs more lumens and a good driver.
