I'm very interested to see how this new Ultrafire UF-T70 stacks up against the DRY 3xCREE XM-L T6 and TrustFire TR-J12. It would also be nice if the Redilast 3100mAh protected cells would work.
i also have tk70 and 4 random triple cee xml s so i feel i am a reasonable judge . i would say its a winner build quality amazing i never use them for long so not sure how hot it gets but for a living i am a chimney sweep so i feel i know much more about spill and contrast between hot spot than many users but lack in depth knwledge on testing output , and yes i have terrible grammer but just back from pub so its a very bright whits not blue but compared to say tk35 its very white , in fact due to deeper reflectors its very simular to the tk35 beam pattern , i have the sky ray 5 xml and i would say this is now my best light in fact i will sell my tk70 with batts if any one wants it pretty cheap with good batts , oh one negative the battery unit has springs both ends i guess for flat top cells one of them bust off when i tried to remove a battery but still works with my cells , in the past people have complained about my posts i dont mind doing some pics and answering questions but please ignore this poste rather than replying with some over critical response

Ordered !
You need to spend 25 bucks on a light meter and supply us with information on all your lights!
Will the Dry Drivers with Step-Down fit in this light?
The DRY drivers are on the small size, among 3xT6 drivers.
Without seeing the light, I would guess a very firm 'probably'
Go on then, post some pics! :) Also could describe how the modes car changed on the torch?
Edit: Tried ordering one but it costs extra $20 to ship to uk! Sigh, group buy anyone?
After seeing the pictures on Ric's site, I think that this is a very nice and well build light so I couldn't resist and just ordered one.
Just minutes after placing the order, I already got a message from Ric that it will be shipped so excellent service, thanks Ric!
I think I would like to have this light too. But how will group buy work? I'm from germany.
I have started a group buy thread to gauge interest :)
Anyone got it yet?
I'd love to see some beamshots against DRY, all modes etc.
2.6A to the LED. From my experience and also with the LED calculator's help, i am expecting 1950 lumens OTF to 2100 lumens OTF. OTF - Out the front.
BTW, the LED arrangement looks like the RRT-3....emitters are oriented more to the centre and together. Not as clustered together as the RRT-3, but it is no DRY. Reflector diameter size is similar to RRT-3 as well, maybe a hair smaller.

how is the first, second, third, fourth one called? ^^

I just tossed my hat in the feeler thread. Thanks

Jetbeam RRT-3, TrustFire TR-3T6, Niteye EYE-30, Nitecore TM11
im expecting the T70 to have a similar beam pattern to the RRT3 actually but who knows.
Here's another competitor: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?332358-Review-of-ThruNite-pre-production-3-XML-light-with-measurements-and-outdoor-beamshots
so it has high low and crazy fast strobe . once you tighten the tail cap the mode is locked, the low is about 180 to 220 lumens which is a guess
