They will fit.
Most IMR without button top work ok

32

Thanks, George.
(Still naively? hoping for a shorter/protected/quality cell out there or a work around)

33

Thanks Giorgos! :+1:
Give us the lumen/cd data now, cause I can’t wait… I wanna order this little AA monster and compare it ot Mi7! :smiley:

34

I will update the post when i have these values , be patient :smiley:

35

I was, till I saw the first part of your review! :smiley:

36

Only think that it needs special treatment is the length of the battery , nothing more .

37

Updated OP with intensity measurements .

Now running runtime test (Medium mode , 14500 battery) .

Tomorrow will update with amperage draw on AA and lumens . These should have been updated today but i had zero free time…

38

Thanks for the info.

39

I don’t want to pull the thread off track at all……but somebody help me. This was in the OP:

Eneloop AA 2000mAh :

Amperage Draw :
Lowest –
Low –
Medium –
High – 4.2A to 3.3A

I am not going to claim any sort of knowledge here…but how does a AA put out 4.2A??? I don’t understand all these currents, draws etc.

40

I wrote it that ways because i see 4.2 amps in my clamp meter for some seconds .

Don’t forget that UT01’s driver , when you insert a AA battery acts like a boost driver . boosts 1.5 volts to 3V that led operates .

Also measured output with AA , high mode is about 340-350 lumens .

41

Thanks, this has been a helpful review!
I’m not a fan of mode memory in an EDC light - do you know if there’s any reasonable way to disable this, like a solder blob across key contacts on the driver?
Thanks!

42

If you short click to enable light , always starts on lowest mode .

Only longer click has the memory .

43

Hm - OK, thanks! I thought I saw in the other video review that a regular “on” click takes it to the last-used mode.
Short-click to low sounds perfect though!

44

Cool thanks for the review!!

Can’t wait for mine. Shipping is REALLY slow.

Mine is stuck…
“Awaiting International flight - Airline Inspection” since 12/7.

Hopefully its just a laggy tracking update.

45

EDIT: Sorry…wrong thread.

46

Trying to decide between this and the Klarus Mi7. What are people’s thoughts on how they compare?

47

I was trying to make that same decision. What clinched it for me was that I want my light to come on in the lowest mode every time, and be able to cycle up through the higher modes, which the UT01 can do.

48

The UT01 is brighter (with Eneloops) and you can buy it in NW. Easy decision :wink:

49

no firefly or moonlight mode?

Ordered NW and on the way- thanks
