FandyFire HD2010, looks like will be 26650 compatible

I got 2 lights, the other has 32000Lux....the lens and LED was really dirty.

At this light i only chanched the LED (XM-L U2 1C on copper) and bypass springs, now it has also 50000 Lux.

The >5,5A i measured with Solarforce battery, with XTAR i measure "only" ~3,5A.

With SF i get a short time 58000 Lux, but goes to 50000 Lux very fast.

With XTAR it´s 50000 Lux.

My visacard just flexed.... It is trembling.

Another question: The U2 bin XML on copper - is that the one from ledtech.de ? (As far as I remember) that you wrote about in another thread (I found the best U2 you wrote - or somthing to that effect)

And a third - could you show a picture of the "bypass" operation on the springs? Is that "just" a matter of getting some copper wick/wire soldered to the top and the switch?

Thank you for your time Andi, it is really nice of you to share with us all like this :bigsmile:

It´s the U2 from LED-Tech, yes. (middle of the LED is directly soldered on the copper base)

With "bypass springs" i mean, i solder a wire directly on the board and the other end on top of the spring, or directly to the brass plug.

Gives max. Ampere without squeeze the spring and with lower Volts the Ampere also higher.

I just have received my Ultrafire HD 2010, and I'm quite happy with it. Overall quality looks good, threads are smooth but need some oil.

Colour is titanium grey, which looks great. I have ordered it at Tmart, packaging was ok, no damage.

I will get some Sony US26650VT LI-Mn for the DH2010.

My HD2010 had much little scratches and dents, most around the bezel and tailcap.

Now, after some sandpapers....

....it looks more expensive.

Thanks all of you for your information and Pics.

I ordered from DX but for many days It's still "Backorder" so I canceled

Ultrafire has now also a HD2010: HERE ;)

Cool! Anyone know anything about Easylightbuy.com? I also found this Ultrafire version at shenzhen-wholesale.com. Think I will stick with the Fandyfire version.

EDIT:

could not insert thumbnails, so here's the link to the gallery

and just a few close-up pics:

With the sony LI-Mn 26650 works great, more then 6 amps maximum. I have to check, if this is healthy for the flashlight... maybe I get a better driver. It seems to be DD on full power. There are three minor scratches, two of them are hard to see.

with a fresh sony 26650, I have measured about 6,6 amps, I think in real life with tailcap it draws less amps (resistance of switch, spring etc). I will see if I get an other driver.

With a half full battery, after 25 mins. tailstand the flashlight didn't got very hot (about 30 deg. C). the battery doesn't get very warm like that.

the 26650 has a capacity of about 2600 mah (last charge with 1,8a). at about 2,8v, it gets darker, and at about 2,74v it switched off. so for a Li-Mn, that's safe (min. 2,5v). But this is just a first look, will have to test more.

So is the 3x XML light from beamtech any good? $50 shipped seems like a decent price. I am looking to get my first multi-led light. Its hard to tell in this thread which light is being talked about in which post sometimes. I don't think 1 X 18650 could really power a 3 x XML light could it?

Probably not, but with a 26650 it might.

sorry, but could somebody tell me how to insert pics from a host like upload? thanks florian

Click on the little tree box next to the anchor, and paste your image url into the first line.

ok thanks, added pics.

btw, I am really happy with it, it has a good size, and the overall-quality seems ok so far.

Now i have my own brand HD2010:

Does anyone know the dimensions of the reflector and the lens? It might be good host for a 66mm aspheric lens.

haha nice move!

Looks like it's not available anymore at Tmart.

Can anyone post some recent links to HD2010?

This is what I see, both at $35:

Is there any difference between the two? Are both direct drive on high?
