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.
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.
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 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.. and might go for a 3rd, my helmet can use one too..
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.
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
