TrustFire TR-J12 5*CREE XML T6 from DX MF and KD

OMG, dx has much lower price than all! I ordered from kd, then it came from mf, now from dx! At least the kd shipped fast, dx would ship in one month. But damn, i lost 19 dollars!

You got from KD already. How does it feel?

First I ordered from KD.

Too late for MF.

And now just ordered from DX

(1) 2 protected and 1 unprotected, i don't see any difference regarding the sequence of the cells placement.

(2) 4 Sevens protected, what i know is that one of them is specced for higher drain apps. Shouldn't be too much of an issue, but do try it out first in a safe place and see what happens, and of course measure them cells. :)

Can you post the URL for int outdoors? I cant find it on Google, strangely. Thanks!

Edit: Nvm I found it on the Kingkong thread :)

You can find int-outdoor.com in google under "king kong 26650.

I just recieved this monster:
I'm at work now but measure tailcap etc
tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get some iPhone beamshots tonight if anyone's intrested :-)
89$ from KD, 5day shipping... DX would probably take 5weeks hehe
I'm at work right now so don't have much time trying to loosen the head completely but it appears to be a screw in and reflector feels glued in, couldn't unscrew it. Here's some pics(90m to wall):

Edit: yes beamshots have slightly different angles but had to move around for other trucks :-)
Btw using 3x trustfire flames 18650 2400mAh right now, my 26650 hasn't arrived yet. 18650 filler that was included works fine and it feels solid and of good quality.

Mouse over Trustfire 5* XML

Sorry HB021 could not see the images.

Yes I noticed, sorry but was on iphone at work so I didn't have time to insert pictures properly. Edited now though :)

HB021

I'm expecting better images to push the trigger!

I couldn't wait so I ordered this past weekend but higher quality images would be really nice.

I still can't see them.

excited to hear the amperage readings, too

Nice pictures HB021.

Is the drop In a screw in ? It looks like you had it out.

Me too , but I can see them via proxy.

Yes I think it's a screw in but I coulndt get it out, didn't wanna pull too hard either because I wanted to get some beamshots before I destroy it hehe... ... I'm on the way to work now but I can try again tonight

Come on hurry up and give us some first impressions!! :D

I love how they just keep cranking up the lumen output numbers. 4500 on this one huh? At least that is theoretically possible (if they drove each LED at 4 amps instead of 1.5....), unlike the Sky 3800 which is just a flat out lie.

Even so, this 5x emitter won't be any brighter than the 3x ones, since they only drive it at 1.5 amps each.

You want to bet?

I don't

but I'm going to GUESS that a dry on direct drive w/ high quality cells has a slight advantage - for the few seconds you can run it that way.

but if this tr-j12 is heatsinked well it should be the light to beat w/ sustained use, right?

I should start saving my money now for the first short body 5 xml light!

i'm dying to see the pics that have been posted but have no idea why I can't...

nothing at all in firefox. ie8 shows me empty squares w/ little red X in the corner...

Who cares about tailcap readings? :D

Think from what i see the ceiling bounced lux figures from HB201, it really is about 2000L OTF, as we've originally guessed. The difference is in the delivery, it can do this for a pretty long time even if it is a threaded drop-in with few threads like the Uniquefire 3900, easily 10 minutes of this output before it gets begins to get pretty warm.

The youtube videos are on CPF, and it seems that the initial drop in output for the TR-J12 is very low due to a high mass drop-in like the TR-3T6. (that thing literally does not dive). As you can see with the Solarforce XM-L it just dives. There is probably something wrong with the XM-L, but you can get decent info from the Trustfire SST-50 as well (take it that it's literally an XM-L @ 2.5A as well)

Don't mind me HB201

Temperature & lux test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPfxCj3ZJz0
00:00 - 29C - 286lux
05:00 - 42C - 267lux
07:00 - 44C - 264lux
10:00 - 46C - 263lux

5th minute, 6.6% drop, that is in-line with the figures from what i got from the Trustfire TR-3T6 and Uniquefire 3900. This is a performer!

The heatsinking seems to be very effective, also it scored higher lux than my 2.5A quad XM-L driving light with same batteries. I'm very impressed by that!
