So, me e10r arrived to me yesterday
After one day playing, there are something i can say
1: the build quality of jetbeam is a little better, the AR lens is better than the one in ut01
2:compatible with all my 14500(shame on you, ut01)
3:the micro usb charge is convenient, but i’m scared that one day i will lost its head when charging(it’s small, and round, which mean i could lost it)
4: i prefer the button of ut01, soft and comfortable
5: the UI is one advantage of ut01. There is delay when changing mode on my e10r, only 3 mode(1 hidden strobe). I wish it was 4 mode, with more reasonable spacing
6: the tint on e10r is(imo) better than the ut01 5000k(too warm, not really 5000k), e10r shows a brighter hotspot, too( thanks too xpl-hi)
In conclusion
Both lights are good to me
But if i need to choose one to buy, i still buy e10r, because better brand(utorch is the clone of…you know)
I’ve been using Eneloops just to be safe (as if the driver were damaged it would be expensive to get a replacement into my country or I would have to wait to buy it with something else), but the output in turbo with 14500 is quite higher.
I just got two in the mail today from GB - shipped within 24 hours, and arrived much faster than usual.
Oddly enough, these don’t appear to be programmable. They go into the blinky modes just fine, but there’s no apparent ‘low’ in the cycle to begin programming. Am I missing a trick?
The switches seem fine, but I’m also not finding a ‘battery self test’ that someone mentioned earlier in the thread. I’m not complaining; for ten bucks a pop, they’re still a terrific bargain….but if there was a way to lower the ‘moonlight’ mode, I’d do it.
I was doing it wrong….this way is also a bit tricky, and I recommend doing it in a very low-light room, but it definitely works. I managed to reduce the moonlight setting to a fraction of its default. Excellent! Thank you!
Have had this light for few months. Used about an hour I guess, Went to turn it on today and it's DEAD... }( Hate it when this happens. Can't for the life of me figure what's wrong with it.:|
EDIT: I'm an idiot...battery tube was backwards...dunno how that happened :BLUSH: .......So remember that it won't work unless battery tube is in right configuration.
My UT01 has been unused for month but still works.
However i just discovered my Klarus Mi7 Ti i haden’t used for a while too, was dead because the cell inside was totally depleted.
Apparently, if the UT01 battery tube is installed backwards, it won't work. Maybe someone else can confirm this with their particular light also? At least, that's what's happening with mine.
Edit Again: I just reversed the tube and it works both ways now. Guess tail cap was not seated completely. Weird, but it works both ways now. :O
