[Ended]Groupbuy : Utorch UT01 (XP-L , AA & 14500 battery , e-switch etc)

[JPLight]

Got mine (CW+NW) a couple of days ago. No switch issues.

I really like the UI.

What I like most is that you can always have low mode with short klick from off but still have the memorized mode (mid, high or turbo) with a long klick from off even when you turned off from low with a long klick.

The UT01, even when running on Eneloop AA, is amazing bright and it does a pretty good job compared to my OTR M1 being more spotty.

Originally I planed to run it on a UR14500p for best brightness but meanwhile I decided to stay with Eneloop AA for normal use around the house.

@Trevi_lux

In my unit al least, the default:
4-55-200-425 lumens (estimated lumens with my Trevi-Box)
I only make change in the low mode, I prefer a sub lumen for night use.

Yep, I programmed the same sub levels.

Very nice to have this “hidden mode” as my Zebralight SC62w and SC600w II L2 have as well. Forgot M**r U11.

What a disgusting nice flashlight ! :+1:

Opened mine up. But in an AA battery the correct way.

DOA.

No battery works. Totally dead.

chanamasala please open a ticket on gearbest .

Did you tried a flat top 14500 ?

[JPLight]

UR14500p which is flat top works fine.

My XTAR 14500 is a little flat. ebest 14500 no. Nothing with either. Energizer lithium nothing. NIMH nothing. Haven’t seen one wink of the light.

[giorgoskok]

Xtar 14500 isn’t a flat top .

Try a battery with a top like this , if possible :

[khas]

My UT01 arrived today what a great little flashlight, I ordered the NW tint and it’s very nice.

This and the UT02 groupbuy are some of my favorite this year, I think the quality and finish of Utorch is top notch for the price.

Thanks again :+1:

EDIT : Maybe even last year

> we should support original designers by NOT supporting blatant copycats.
I wish we even knew who the original designers are; they leave room for various companies to paint their names on the hardware.

It’s up on a ~$20 flash sale right now

[Lazy-R-us]

My two came in today, (Finally!) what pleasant little lights! I got one of each tint, I think I prefer the 1A but more testing is probably in order. Both of them work with Eneloops straight outta the box with no fiddling. This will probably be my EDC on days when I’m not wearing cargo pants.

Now to check out how the memory mode works as well as programming the lowest Moon mode and see how 14500 compares to Eneloop.

Thanks.

[dbare]

I am very happy to have bought three, two neutral and one 1A. Think I will just stick with eneloops - plenty of output and much brighter than my Zebralight AA of a few years ago - who would think? However, if or when the the U01’s fail, the Zebra will be there in the drawer. Right now it is U01 for EDC.

thanks again, George

@Trevi_lux

p. Here all values options in estimated lumens for the UT01 (with the hidden modes), that I have meassured with Eneloop NiMH AA:

I have programed my unit for: 0.5 lum - 55 lum. - 200 lum. - 425 lum.

Cool thanks for that data.

Mine is programmed for .5 - 55 - 240 - 445

Killer little light, as well as the Manker E11, they are the same light outside of minor cosmetic differences

Maybe we will see UT03 aka Manker T01

These lights are so similar software wise. I wouldn’t be surprised if utorch is a seudo name for Manker.

Excellent idea! (Sorry Mr Manker) T01 rebranded Utorch.

[Mkduffer]

Got my two in today. Tried to run them on a used AA alkaline and nothing. Threw in a freshly charged NiMH and it fired up no problem. Love that the UI is identical to the T01.

If it lasts, could be come one of my favs. For the GB price, hard to beat. Was a little disappointed with the moonlight, until I remembered how to access pro mode and got it down to .5.

Bought a couple of UR14500s but I think I might reserve those for my T01.

I’ve noticed that the tail and head sections are identically threaded. I like when companies do this as it allows me to reverse the clip by swapping the ends, minimizing the number of times I need to remove the clip, which decreases the likelihood of me scratching it.

Good point. Never thought of that. Not many lights are built that way though

My first E11 and my UT01:

Actually, I just noticed the t01 does not have charging function. So… we need UT14R
UT for UTorch 14 for 14500 and R for rechargeable. Anyone want to lobby for this one? I think it would be a hit especially at the utorch price to quality ratio!!!
