Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

Right. A 20A+ 2S buck driver would be unprecedented. JKK does decent drivers from what I understand but still a review or more info seems needed.

The one pictured above must be 1S so that adds even more questions

Maybe they have a special carrier within the tube that would make it 2P?

And as for Freemes picture, maybe he (or someone) exchanged the tube to a single battery, just to tease.

KD specs suggest 2S based on voltage. Freeme translate for us :slight_smile:

Yes, I missed that.

Well, that may be a first. Buck driver of over 20 amps.

I have the JKK03 and the driver is quite good in maintaining output. Just took it out and may look further in it.

Edit (@10:00 PM):

Tested the JKK03 and dropped from 941 to 805 lux in 6 minutes. ~15% difference and head at 57.6ºC. Very good regulation and if thermal step-down would have to be higher than 60º

JKK90 XHP70.2 version with dual 26650.

New trend for budget lights?

I’m trying to understand this; the JKK90 w/ SBT90.2 can be found in single cell format?

And the shown images on KD would be for the XHP70.2 2S models?

So where do I buy the single-celled light?

The worse part of those digital displays is when they show the "fake" lumens for levels. But the voltage and temp shown is pretty awesome. Showing moon, low, med, hi, turbo would be better. For ramping, a percentage would be cool.

Funny they are getting more popular on budget lights. Could be problems with water and reliability issues for main stream manufacturers.

Most likely they’ll just all get stuck with unusably bad UIs and we can’t mod them without losing the display.

Fixed flood aspheric?

Any more info about it?

It's an interesting light. Something like that would be ideal for a guy I know that has a biz inspecting and rating classic cars. He's got a few inspectors. Might want at least a lo-hi though. Doing close-up work, nice to set the output lower.

Little too pricey though. For that cost, we would need much better details. The spot size in the diagram doesn't seem to match that pic of looking down at a car - 225 cm diameter at 5 meters I would think would be a much larger spot at distance.

Good or bad? :neutral_face:

Same light, little cheaper here: AilExpress - EDC headlamp

Don't know if any good at this point. For that price, hard to believe it's quality regulated driver, quality anodizing, good threads, decent LED, etc. Other option is for a mod host, then it's a matter of easy access, and that weird charger setup may be a problem.

You’re probably right! Not the best option as a pseudo Olight-wannabe!
I guess it will be a bit messy to mod one of these (with my skills I mean). I’ll pass on it then :wink:
Thanks for your feedback Tom E, always helpful!! :+1:

bezels look pressed in as well. bummer

When you find that perfect, budget mod-ready headlamp let me know! I’m also in the market…
