Review : Utorch UT01 Flashlight (XP-L V6 / AA & 14500 / e-switch)

It sounds like the Mi7 and the UT 01 use the same switch. I have one on the way from GearBest. Hopefully I will have better luck. I will post when I receive mine. It will probably be another week or so before it arrives.

giorgoskok, can’t see your photos, but assume they’re the pretty much the same as E11 tests since it’s basically the same light-
I see the output drops after app 2 min.

Can you manually restart after lets say 30 sec, and measure the output, like in this review:

I ask that because I want to know do you get that 700~ lumen just once when the battery is freshly charged, or you can get that 700~ lumen for longer period of times, till the battery depletes or so. Does that drop happens because of temperature protection kicking in maybe?

Thanks

Uh, I have one on order :expressionless:

my switch is faulty too, after of 10 click the switch dont work, what are you doing you guys, paypal or talk with gearbest support?

I received full refund but I didn’t order from gearbest.
Has anyone found a good solution to the switch problem? Replacement switch? I have no experience in light modding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After what seemed like an eternity, the UT01 arrived today. Perfect swittch and perfect UI functioning. Nice light for sure. NW tint is nice white color…not yellowish like some of the other Manker NW’s. :+1:

Got my second UT01 today to replace the one my wife claimed to replace a Convoy S2 1.4A light that she was using (and I feel much better her having a AA NiMh light in her purse). Everything works fine and hopefully the 3rd I have coming in will also work as it should.

First make a video “clearly demonstrating the faulty switch” then show them the video and ask for suggestion. It has always worked for me no problem.

You can always return the defective light back to the seller for replacement. Its really worth the effort to get a working UT01. I dont use any of my Mi7 anymore since I got this light. Go figure :wink:

well i make a video and gearbest offer me a new unit, cross my fingers.
btw there is any solution for switch?

I have one on the way so that’s good to hear.

Anyone put a magnet on the tail of this light, and if so which one did you use?

Bob

The UT01 arrived, nice finish but doesn’t work.
:frowning:
Is it normal, that the driver wiggles? I can turn it ca. 5 degrees without force only by touching.
Beside that a scratch on the PCB and dust.

Hello Joe .

What battery do you use ?

An Alkaline 1,5V no way it is too long and NiMH.
Also from a holder with leads to the head. It should be the head and not the tube and end cap.

Ah, by the way I measured the total length of the lamp everything tightly screwd down and its
84mm long weras the specs say 82mm.
So maybe they use now a longer tube?

I would try a 10mm x 2mm round magnet outside of the Tailcap fixed and covered with sugru.

Thanks Joe.

The driver should not be lose, at least neither of mine are.

Does it work if you remove the tail cap and touch -B to the end of the body tube with a wire or paper clip?… it should.

My total length is just a hair under 84mm

No, it doesn’t light if I short the tail.
I am going to mail the seller.

Yeah you got a bad one, that driver board needs to be in there solid I think to make electrical contact. I just tried “picking” at mine with a fingernail on the +B input button and it doesn’t budge.
