KEYGOS M10 26650 FLASHLIGHT-Quick and dirty review

Ordered :)

I have a Stainless Steel 26650 light that I DIY fitted with a Neutral XML and 8x7135 driver. It is a nice combo with decent output and medium throw but you can guess how heavy it is. I have 5 26650 batteries already, so I guess I should start using them.

Could anyone have measured the tailcap currents? I don't expect to see a 8x7135 driver in it but still a driver with low voltage limit for my unprotected King Kong 26650 cells would be relieving.

Thanks for the review, biggie. Great comparison information.

Another thanks for the review.

I got two M10s ordered. I am feeling real good about this too. Wink

Thanks, biggie!

M10 is looking better and better each minute. :)

Found some alternative retailers... theres probably more too.

You guys are welcome. I really enjoy being a part of this awesome community of flashlight enthusiasts who share my passion for lights and technology. I enjoy reading each and every review I come across and I try to give back when I can. Looking forward to others impressions about this cool light when they receive theirs.

OOPS!!! I just bought one too (he-he-he... evil grin). Mine is the Smiling shark version, I like the little cartoon shark character on the side... LOL

I like the shark as well. It's better than having the claim of 1600 lumens on the side

I would be curious to the size of the reflector. So far almost all "impressive " reflectors are simply C8 reflectors.

I don't have any C8 reflectors for comparison, but just looking at pictures I'd say they are about the same. See this thread on DX http://club.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/threadid.966870 They are talking about the Uniquefire UF-2180, which is basically the same as the M10 except it has a shinier finish. Someone states that this light uses the C8 reflector. I'll pull mine apart mine later and try and get some semi accurate measurements of the reflector.

I came so close to getting this light after reading this review. Then I figured I don't really need to invest in another battery type yet (but it takes 18650's!). So I held off. Don't know how much longer I can last.

I also found out this in my Stainless Steel host. Its reflector is similar to a C8. Also my Shadow TC6 uses the same kind of reflector. But, my Shadow lights have a very nice beam while my self built C8 XML lights never could match one exactly. Then, I played a bit with my P60 dropins. You can't believe how much a piece of paper under the reflector can change the beam type. If you manage to level the emitter right you can get a good thrower or a pure flooder.

I'd love to see some pictures of what you did. Sounds like a fun experiment.

For the price you can get it at, and the versatility in battery types why hold off? Plus this format just feels better in the hand.

I agree 100% , in addition, they are only $23 a pop!!! What more could you ask for.. Good light, good review, dam good price... That is why I ordered TWO..Wink and might go for a 3rd, my helmet can use one too.. Wink

You are the man sir!!

I would almost have ordered a Trustfire A8 as my carry arround 26650 light. It offers a TF 26650 battery and a charger for $40. Does anyone have bıth A8 and Keygos M10? A8 should be a flooder I guess.

I'm with you. HD2010 quite clearly is the brightest with the tightest and very crisp hotspot. I would have mistaken it for XR-E beam if not for the blinding XM-L "effect".

I like the M10 looks much better though. And hard to ignore the price.

Can we have more quality photos of M10? :)

Insides, disassembled, pill, threads, tailcap, driver?

I'm balancing on the edge on this one ever since I got my M12, and that was weeks ago.

*mumbles off to bed toying with KE-5*

I'll try and post up some more quality pics on my next day off which will be in a few days. Some of you guys are really a hard sell, which considering the company kind of surprises me
