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

my friend quite surprised and happy with output from this light.

myself keep both cw and nw version. nice pocket light with wide beam.

I notice in the programming instructions that in the programming grouping, thereā€™s a Turbo mode that doesnā€™t step down. Does that mean that the main Turbo mode in the standard grouping does step down? I donā€™t think I saw that mentioned before. Does anyone know how long before step-down, and is it time-dependent or temperature-dependent?

Thereā€™s a 3 minute regular mode step down. In program grouping, it is direct drive with no step down.

Regular step down mode is Timed.

Thanks a lot.

Well itā€™s mentioned here.
Utorch 1x AA 500+ Lumen Review - #24 by joechina But as I understand itā€™s described as regular in the hidden modes.

Also with a battery check!

From now I say the same! Thank * :slight_smile: *

Is it just me or are the pictures in the OP gone?

gone for me too.

Yep , gone ā€¦

Fixed them last week and but it didnā€™t work ā€¦

Iā€™ll fix them today , sorryā€¦

Really disappointed with my UT01 and with Gearbest. I ordered and received the NW version. This could be a great light but mine came with the faulty switch, multiple presses and sometimes it works sometimes it doesnā€™t. Contacted gearbest about the faulty switch, they asked for a video but their site will only let you upload 2mb so not sure how that would work, I pointed them to a youtube video with a light with the same issue. Their offered solution was to either a $3 store credit, or a $3 refund. Still working with them on that. I also have a cool white version on the way, I hope it has a functional switch.

Hopefully they will resolve your switch issue promptly. It is a known problem.

I too am very disappointed with GearWorst. I ordered mine on February 13th. It arrived in the US on February, 23rd and hasnā€™t moved since. When I emailed them last week they replied with their canned response saying 30-35 days for delivery.

I have ordered from them many times in the past without issue. I was going to order a few headlamps and some other things but not now; not until this is resolved.

Saving $10.00 isnā€™t worth the aggravation.

Mine also had a faulty switch, worked fine for the first couple days but then it became a lottery whether it worked or not. Try making your own video showing your own faulty torch and upload it to youtube. I did that and gearbest gave me some full refund options (I chose store credit refund + extra points and kept the torch).

While I received mine without the switch issues, reading all the problems here makes me worried that itā€™ll die soon.

Loved the form factor though, and since I have a few 15400 batts around doing nothing I went ahead and ordered mine.

I highly doubt it. Switches are usually good or wonky or bad from the getgo. If it works perfectly first day or twoā€¦, itā€™s usually good to go.

Good to know, thanks!

I have to say i am quite pleaced/surpriced too with that tiny torch, and lately i havent been surpriced ā€¦
Great job they did realy, finaly somethign better than Olight S15ā€¦adn its quite easy moddable too

The cool white tint is lovely, white with a pink tint- the AA output is quite decent

It is my edc flashlight for over 3 months now. I modded mine with an xp-l hi v2 3b , and Iā€™m very pleased ā€¦

Still works perfect and puts out some sweet light :smiley:

I may have to do that as well.

I ordered a NW version and it is just much to yellow for me. Otherwise it is a great light.

Where do you guys get your xp-l hi v2 3b? Also what soldering tip do you use to solder/desolder the +/- wire on the mcpcb?

The xp-l hi v2 3b i think it was from my Blf X5 ā€¦

I use a bevel tip (hoof tip) for soldering wires in deep flashlights like the C8 , and chisel tip for smaller flashlights etc .
