LED Flashlights – General Info
235

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:

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 new Maratac w Nichia, my grail light because it has a new driver that is as regulated and efficient as the CuWorm
