For zooming lovers, the new M12 Keygos with 26650

joe1512, the good thing of it, it works with 26650, which will give a better runtime on a relatively compact light, and if you do not like XM-L for flood to throw lights, you could replace it by an XR-E with about 3 hours of runtime on high.

It is more a thing of taste in my opinion, I really like XM-L with big lenses, it throws less than XR-E yes, but throws a good distance, and the flood is its better thing when the lens is well designed, it shows an homogeneous huge circle.

I won an ebay auction on this light, with charger and two 26650 batteries, can’t wait to try it out :slight_smile:

did you pay $30 or less?

Close, $29.55 :slight_smile:

Good price toysareforboys,

I want to wait, but I began eating my nails, and I have reached my elbows already!! Haha.

I hope you like it, and let us know as soon as possible how it performs.

Will do, but damn shipping from China to Canada ain’t fast :wink:

-Jamie M.

Finally got my new light, charged up the batteries (took forever! lol).

Can you paste the ebay link where you won it?

Can't seem to find it with batteries and charger at $30, only the flashlight itself at that price.

My ebay history says item not found. It was from this seller for this item: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/26650-1600Lm-CREE-XM-L-XML-T6-LED-Flashlight-Torch-Zoomable-KEYGOS-M12-Charger-/140681815820?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item20c14a270c#ht_5331wt_1163

It had a few bids on it and was up to $9CAD, so I bid $11CAD and won it :) With shipping and everything it was around $30CAD.

-Jamie M.

Thanks,

When did you order this? It looks like the prices spiked quite high. You can get M12 with 2x 26650 and charger for $55 now. :(

Your deal looks great comparing to current prices.

Yeah, it doesn’t look like they do auctions starting at $1 any more? The auction I won ended on Jan 15th.

Hopefully they list more for auction instead of just buy it now, I guess keep an eye on his ebay store.

Here it is again, Keygos M12 + 2x 18650 batteries + charger, available for $24.99 shipped:

Yep! Very comfortable to hold. Super crazy long run times on 26650’s (I haven’t charged the battery yet and have been using it tons!). Love it. After I cleaned the LED and painted the internals black, it works great now :slight_smile:

-Jamie M.

Have you seen the picture of the reflector on ebay? It's got fingerprints all over it! Must come as standard, instead of putting a little sticker on telling you who built the light, he leaves his fingerprints and DNA all over the reflector. Cool!

Marc.

Hehe. :)

It's not a reflector, though, it's an aluminum protection that needs to be painted black anyway. ;)

Viktor

If quality of the 26650 battery can be judged by comparing to the quality of the 186650, then I'd rather buy a proper 26650 separately.

The whole package price here is cheaper than just M12 on other ebay deals so I've ordered one.

After it arrives and I thoroughly test it I'll probably order a 26650 or a pair separately.

Viktor

I ordered for $25 today. Sorta feel like I should have waited for the 26650 offer at $30 but I'd rather have IMR 26650s

Anybody up on the best price for those?

I ordered my 26650’s from here: http://www.intl-outdoor.com/kingkong-26650-4000mah-liion-battery-p-136.html

Run time seems the same as the Keygos 26650's that came with it (on the right) :)

The charger and batteries that came with the light:

LICK FOR HIGH RES!

-Jamie M.

do the keygos say IMR on them?

They do not. They do not list the battery chemistry anywhere on the wrapper. My king kong ones I linked above say “INR” on them.
