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?

The Fandyfire HD2010 from DX ist DD.

The Ultrafire HD2010 i don´t know. ;)

I have the UF HD2010 incoming form easylightbuy. I'll update this thread when it arrives. I was looking at 2x26650 and the new Sky Ray king 4x18650... and they just seemed too big for me to pack-carry. This light will be replacing my 2D MAG ROP incan builds (Fun DIY builds, but theyre just too big and heavy). So we'll see how this goes 8^)

$35 shipped is the best price I could find, for a light with this feature-set. I kind of prefer the gun-metal gray too.

I finally received mine from DX and I have to say I am still impressed by this 26650 light. It has a very wide and deep reflector which throws very well. I like it better than my XM-L DBS. Quality wise it's a little rough especially finish wise, but I don't care since I paid only $35 for it and it does what it's supposed to. Here's a quick and dirty video I took of it indoors cycling through the 5 modes. I'll try to do an outdoor video later. http://www.youtube.com/embed/VfWhDHZbPfI

Ordered. Easylightbuy has some darn good prices!

Yell Love the26650. :love: :love: :love:

I am very glad to see all moving to the 26650!

Charger save your $'s no need if you have a 18650 charger.

So you can use an 18650 charger for 26650s?

If 26650 fits in the charger, then sure. It's going to take longer to charge 26650 than 18650, but it should work without problems.

Cool. And that battery gives more runtime or current? Runtime, right?

Correct. Do a search and read up on king kong 26650, people say it's great. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm seriously pondering the thought.
