Roche F12 Desert Yellow Mini 1-18650 Flashlight Show & Tell

Thanks for the write up! That is really a nice looking little light! You don't specify the brand or link to it but it's not really an Ultrafire, is it? I'm guessing Ric just uses the Ultrafire gift box for these.

Thanks, Richie! I'm drooling and can't wait to get mine, hopefully tomorrow or Friday. The color in your pics looks quite different (almost gold) from the CNQG site picks, what do you think holding it in your hand?

It looks like a little brother to the SR King!

I think the brand is a Roche. That's what IOS version is and it looks like that's what's printed in one of the photos.

Nice holster, I should get one of those for my S-mini's

Yeah, I couldn’t make out what it was from his pics but it sure didn’t look like it said “Ultrafire” on it. :slight_smile:

Hey Johnny, I didn't even realize that, I'll fix the OP shortly. The brand is actually a Roche F12. Maybe Roche is some type of subsidiary of HWA WYS Ultrafire? The box appears to be made for this size light, interesting.

Hi BetweenRides, Ric's website photo is exactly what it looks like in the hand. My photo lighting is a bit bright, sorry.

Thanks, Richie. That is good news. The sand color is one of the things that forced me to buy it. Not that big a fan of gold, except in my teef! :p

Well, you said it gets hot - is it pretty bright? 800lm accurate in your estimation?

LOL...good one. If it isn't 800 lumens, it's darn close to it. I have a Yezl M6X that I purchased a year or so ago from CNQ that's rated exactly the same as seen in this link http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1095

Although the M6X is the regular T6 CW and my F12 is NW, they are putting out a similar amount of light. It's just that the F12 is geared more for flood and the Yezl M6X has a tighter hot spot. But I'll get a photo of both and also toss in the Tank HC-128 too.

It stopped raining here, so I'm going to go out shortly and get some close range beam shots for the forum. Should have them up in about an hour.

OP updated with beam shots, enjoy!

Nice flood for such a little light. Thanks for posting the beam shots.

Great show-and-tell .

I think this light has it all , small , bright , neutral , floody and good looking .

And I'll bet the S-mini clip will fit .

I wonder how this one compares to Balder SE2...

Good thread - thank you for taking the time to post good outdoor beamshots. Very helpful

Looks great, like the floody beam :) hoping to receive mine sometime soon...

I've ordered one too a week ago and it hasn't been shipped yet.

Merry wrote me an email telling that the last batch has some problems with the anodizing and they've sent the F12s back to the factory.

Hope they can send me my F12 soon, as it looks great...

Good luck UPz, I have been waiting a lot longer than that, I have been rather disappointed with CNQG so far.

It's a strange thing... CNQG are the fastest shippers I deal with till date.

Let's wait and see.

BTW, for how much are you waiting?

Cheers
