I would guess so, it is a spot beam because it is a xp-e led, and you can get a bit more output by changing the switch spring to a “carobronze”https://www.fasttech.com/product/1347100-batterydriver-contact-support-spring-for-flashligh one.
The switch is modable because it is not pressfitted like most small light, but has a retaining ring 
I might think about one for parts to use in SS-5039 bodies. I would guess the pills and reflectors might survive forcible disassembly.
It doesn’t have a pill, it has a shelf, and the reflector is very narrow just room for an xp-e if you don’t open it up, at least it is an aluminum one.
And you should know the reflector adds a little blue to the tint, and i don’t like cold white so for me that is a negative but if you like CW i wouldn’t worry about it.
But you don’t need force just heat it up and the thread lock will hopefully loosen like mine did
What size is the reflector? I have a number of different small optics that might fit. In fact, some pics and dimensions of the reflector and driver when disassembled would be nice.
The reflector is 12.85mm wide & 11.13mm deep.
I have lots of picture towards the end in this thread post #36 thread & in the OP & #27 you can see the driver pics that ohoya took.
The only new part i haven’t shown is under the star, that isn’t a plastic pill as i thought but a nice little anodized aluminum shelf
I thought it was maybe plastic because there was something white under the star, but that was just some solidified fujik or some similar thermal glue.
Let me know if there is other info you want.
One last question, is the clip reversible for cap use?
I would say yes.
The standard position for the clip is 13.43mm wide & there it really sits hard, the reverse position is more narrow at 11.55mm there it sits less hard but not loose, and if you want you could narrow the clip for a tighter fit.
I am very impressed
First of all I would like to say thanks to all who replied to me about this Hugsby XP1 light
I received my light and I have to say it feels as good as my Fenix E05 (or better)
I am extremely happy with how the thread feels especially when it’s butter smooth even without lube
The o rings are a confident waterproof fit
Also this is my first light that has ar coated lens on it.
and I think I got the XPE2 led in it?
after doing some aspheric zoom beamshots I confirmed the looks of it. No bond wires 
Picture made the tint looks ugly but I love how organic the color is.
It did have the typical purple spill on the side but the hotspot is one of the prettiest whites I’ve seen. (I’m guessing the ar lens contributes to the purple spill)
I guess I don’t even want to mod it anymore by looking at how pretty this light was built.
Nice Pictures, thanks for sharing!
Still waiting for mine to arrive.
and I really like the look of it so yesterday I made an order of it´s brother P31 :bigsmile:
I don’t remember if i have said this already. but when you change the battery on the Hugsby XP-1 remove the head and leave the tail part in place.
I didn’t at first & the very stiff & sharp tail spring dug in & scratched the bottom of my Eneloop AAA’s 
I noticed that problem too when I used mine
fortunately it only scratched my dying tesco alkalines
Plus it’s kinda annoying to remove the tailcap because the clip is on the way.
Thanks for the notice though
Update:
Took my XP1 on a night walk in the fields and I am extremely surprised the colors on this new xpe2 led makes things pop.
It’s not organic on greens but the browns and reds are definitely new to my eyes
Oh and not to forget this is officially my brightest single aaa light.
Thanks BLF members XD
I just received two of these from Ali. Decent but mine are not that bright compared to my SS Maratacs and they are both on the cool side. Reflectors in both appear to be smooth. Not sure what emitters are in these. I’m thinking of ordering a few more from somewhere else that are a little warmer and have an OP reflector. Any suggestions of where I should get them
Sounds like you got one of the fakes that seem to have appeared recently. Can you post a photo?
Don’t know how to post pics cuz I’m old!!! Pretty sure you are right and these are fakes. Comparing mine to the pics early in this thread: My tailcap spring is silver, different clip, smooth reflector and the threads came dry as a bone. Probably give these away to friends.
Bummer fishx65. Can you give us the vendor name so we avoid them?
I bought all mine from TomTop and LiteTeck. All were original (not fakes).
Sure, I picked these up from Aliexpress for a little under 5 bucks each. Maybe I should have known because of the cheap price!!!
I’ve also been buying mine from tomtop sales on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Hugsby-XP-1-AAA-CREE-XPE-R3-LED-120LM-9cm-Lamp-Clip-Mini-Flashlight-Torch-/400875257162?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d5606fd4a
Price is pretty decent in groups of 5. Bought 25 so far from this vendor, checked them all and they appear to be originals with nice threads and switches, consistent brightness. Last 5 arrived in late May so things may have changed but I’d go there again if I needed more XP-1s.
Thanks, I just went ahead and ordered one from Tomtop. I’m kinda curious to see how a real one performs!!!
But which vendor on Aliexpress. My purchases have also been through Aliexpress from the 2 vendors I specified above. I too paid less than $5.
