TrustFire TR-J12 5*CREE XML T6 from DX MF and KD

LED Flashlights – General Info
198

I got my TR-J12 5 x XM-L a few days ago, it was held up by Australia mail redirection because i moved house over the new year, as we all know now the king Kong's are a no go fitment wise out of the box.

I'm impressed with the build quality of the light it works well and is much brighter to my eyes playing out the back at night in the dark then the TR-3T6.

First impressions is its a nice looking light, looks much better then the TR host,s and its going to be a decent run time torch.

I have not been able to do to much testing except for current draw and a bit of running in the back yard.

What happens when the batteries are starting to discharge, when the batteries are 3.6-3.7V?

I am curious the current in this stage. Did anybody try this?

pictures of the dropin and inside head? fit perfectly with the jm07 treads?

202

It's the same braid pitch of JM07 and TR-J12 , but JM07 thread is longer.

You can see JM07's O-ring.

203

How bright it is on one cell?

204

Ceiling bounce back lux test: My DRY 5A NW arrived and scored 202lux @ 3,4A tailcap reading(~40w?).

Trustfire TR-J12 scores 298, 50% higher @ 2,2A(~30w)

Trustfire X8 XM-L U2 @ 1,8A(15w) tailcap scores 95lux

205

The body of my JM07 PRO (gray one) wouldn't work with the TR-J12 . The threads are the same, but the body is annodized and it wouldn't bottom out to complete the negative connection. I was just using the extension to get some single cell testing.

206

no pictures of the dropin anywere jet?

207

no one have pictures of the dropin?

208

The drop-in does not come out. It has great thermal pathway to the body. I left it on high till batts died and the entire torch was hot, from head to tailcap/

209

I refuse to believe that

210

im not going to force it.

211

Flashlightlens now has 60mm size lens for the J12. Actually, the size for the J12 is 59mm.

Thought I'd post a link to my own thread on this light, I don't think I'd seen this one when I started that but it's probably of interest to people following this thread; https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/5840

Greetings all. Just signed up after lurking for an extended period. I couldn't resist what I was reading and picked up a TR-J12 from Deal Extreme. It only took a month to get here...

It's quite an impressive light. Makes my old SSC P7 look dim. I wanted to fact check a couple of details from the thread...

From what I understand, the light is the same brightness regardless of the number of batteries installed (two versus three) and the only difference is run time. Is that an accurate assessment?

I'm using a lot of 18650 cells scavenged from old laptop batteries. These are too short to operate unless I add a small magnet. As near as I can tell from the design, there should be no risk of short circuit from the magnet if it's installed between two batteries because of the plastic sleeve (or at the tailcap for that matter). Would that also be an accurate assessment?

Thanks!
