I got 2 26650 lamps today. First JM05, it is better finished than dongrui, driver is better (3A @4v and 1.4A@ 3.2v), led is better, ref is better, hotspot is smaller, it will throw better, but less flood for sure.But driver stopped switching power :( It is always on high, I wait for Wang answer what now. Anyway, good lamp.
Second one is 3x XML single 26650 cell from ebay Uwelectronics (same host as HD2010). It has only 2.4A on fresh cell at tailcap, so it is not really bright one, driver seems to not very strong :) I will change it today I hope, anyway, more photos and reports later :)
Well crap. I'm pretty sure that's the same light as the Beamtech BT4000 that I ordered from Tmart. If you don't mind would you take pics and start a thread when you swap drivers? I have a feeling I'll be doing the same thing relatively soon.
Flashlight is good quality outside, GITD,nice coating and colour. I almost don;t have any black flashlights due to recent trends now ;) Dropin poor quality, it doesn't have enough good contact to the rest of the body, driver is 20mm step up, 5 modes (low mode is not really low), 2.4A on fully charged cell, 1.35A on 3.2v, so it is not very bright at the moment. I have to switch leds to parallel and give some 5.5A AMC7135 driver and we will se what this baby can. Anyway it has big spill, so it will be a flooder.
i’m vry interested i getting 18650/26650 lite, i’ve seen several and am wondering could the drivers be changed from 5 to 3 mode, could u change the emitter, and is it safe to assume that a 26650 lite would take a 18650 bat?
Just got the shadow pro and it’s pretty badass, neutral tint is awesome and has great throw for a such a small 26650 light , also has memory and plenty of flood , it would be the perfect light without the blinkies,lol
Thx V54 for putting this list together! The JM05 & JM07 have caught my eye.
BTW, the Big Bruiser has now been reduced to $149.99, still not exactly budget but definitely more affordable than before. Also the link is broken, but I found it here: http://elektrolumens.com/Big-Bruiser/BigBruiser.html
Yeh I have another contender coming soon in the same price range when it’s done I will let u know ,I can say I’m surprised it is not talked about more , it’s probably the best in class XML ,ha111 finish for just over 40$ that runs 26650 batteries
What other contender? I've been trying to make up my mind as to which 26650 light I wanted. If you know of a good choice let us know so we can do some background research before you do a review. That way we'll be ready to order if the (unknown) light passes muster.
That is quite a statement then! Was trying to hold off, must... resist...
