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.

Correct & correct on both accounts... depending on the specific cells in the comparison. To generalize across the board (26650 -VS- 18650 pros/cons) however would be incorrect, as there can be exceptions. Heres the charging setup I have been using for the last ~1.5-2 years. I have had no problems with over / under charging, cell capacity or longevity.
So if you had a free choice between the FandyFire HD2010 (3 x LED) and Shadow JM-07 Pro, which one would you choose? (Which one is brighter and has better runtime?)
