Photos of your new arrived lights

LOL, my “Noname” MH20 Clone with USB charging and ramping UI from Gb arrived today, currently on sale for 10 bucks, I ordered “just for fun”, not expecting much:


Besides the hillarious box and the possibly dangerous UltraFire 18650 it doesn´t look too shabby, will test this evening.

i bought 2 of them lights too Kusie

Let me know how the output goes and the ramping feature.

Please check for flickering on low mode

Got the FET driver this weekend and got busy…

Emitter is a little off center, at least relative to the shroud piece on the drier. Need to adjust it a bit more…. I think. I can’t tell how well the LED is centered relative to the aspheric lens. Still throws like crazy though.

Hi,

I did a first quick check yesterday. Overall it´s not a terribly bad light for the price, but unfortunately also not a very good light.
Here´s a summary of what I found:

Positive:

  • overall solid construction, all parts easily accessible, nothing glued
  • very easy UI (one click on, one click off), fast ramping (3,5 seconds from low to high, 7 seconds for a full circle)
  • no PWM in any mode visible
  • takes any kind of 18650 batteries due to 2 springs design
  • low price
  • with 520 lumens (calculation via ceiling bounce) enough light for standard purposes
  • comes with 18650 battery and USB cable

Negative:

  • Fake XM-L2 LED (possibly LatticeBright clone)
  • maximium 520 lumens - far less than the claimed 1100 lumens
  • always starts on HIGH - no memory mode
  • threads are blank - no mechanical lockout possible
  • lowest setting still pretty bringt (30-50 lumens)
  • battery carrier a bit too wide - 18650 rattles inside light
  • beam has some strange rings on the outside of the spill
  • color temp is not 5000-6000K, but rather 7000 K, has no blue tint though…
  • included “UltraFire” TR 3000 is “suspicious”

Not clear yet/needs further tests:

  • USB charging behaviour (overcharging?)
  • LVP reliable?
  • Stand-by Drain of eletronic switch ?!?

I also posted some pictures of the light compared to the NiteCore MH20, see here (German).

I do not like the clip of the JetBeam Jet-1 MK…… but the clip of the Klarus Mi7 (that now is solded separately) fits perfect on it:

My signature tells the story. Best I can manage with my smartphone.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Just days (old) new to me. It's new company

Newish penlights (last 6 months or so).

That look was to remind me that I forgot one…

Since we seem to be on a cat run here… gotta post this up here as well. Not a new light, but new to me and will become a quad.

AAA lights from the same timeframe (plus my venerable Microstream/ITP lego)….

The AAs (w/ my EDC SC5W)…

And the pocket throwers…
