I’m curious why the hotspot is not round but has a flat part to it on the edge. I haven’t seen anything that I think would cause it. I’ll do more investigating though as I haven’t looked too hard.
Oh wow,here we go the X sword l3k debuted on Maxtoch’s you tube channel a few hours ago. Contradictions in the title page and the video’s specs,but it seems 650 lumens and 3000 meters.
I just bought the L2K with coupon (Thankyou)
Ive requested on Maxtoch Aliexpress the L3K stating I am willing to pay the difference but I think L2K may have already been shipped.
Update: I just got reply from Maxtoch stating L2K has been shipped.
When my L2k arrives I will compare it against my Astrolux WP2.
I don’t think anybody who had an L2K would notice the extra 300 meters of beam distance anyways. Also seems like the beam is very blue compared to the L2K version. L2K is nice and warmish.
I was able to purchase the long 2x21700 battery body tube from Maxtoch for $15! I had purchased the short version, and reached out to Maxtoch through the Aliexpress.com message center to ask them if the longer tube was for sale by itself. They were able to hook me up with the tube for $15 USD total. Very happy I have the option to utilize the over 3 hour run time in high mode
They might slowly be becoming more open to selling parts. I found this Reddit post from 3 days ago claiming Maxtoch is sending the original poster a replacement convex lens and glass filter for $15.
It almost sounds like the filter is CLEAR glass? I asked about buying a plain glass filter a month ago when I requested the longer tube, and Maxtoch told me they don’t offer one. Hm.
It seems as though Vinh from Skylumen is insinuating the aspheric lens is plastic as well. He doesn’t say the lens is plastic, but he’s recommending a glass filter over it for protection.
I can confirm the aspheric lens is indeed plastic. I wiped with a camera lens cloth,because it got wet and it made the coating come off. I have a replacement on the way as well,but my overall assessment of build quality is meh. The battery tube rattles horribly and the optics plain suck IMO. That said,I am pleased with the output and I really wish they would sell a short tube.
Thank you, Mr. ChibiM
I don’t have a candela measuring instrument, so I can see it visually.
When it comes to candela of Weltool W4 and above, neither L2K nor L3K can be measured without measuring instruments.
It was impossible to determine the state of light with the eyes
After all I would like Marco to show the measurement result with 1 lumens
Maxtoch Xsword L2K can no longer be lit
Initially, it made a Bu! Sound in about 1 minute and turned off, but then it was revived again.
It doesn’t light up today … I think it’s a bad tail switch
I disassembled it, but I’m not sure.
It seems that I made a mistake in assembling the parts
I have scraped the switch screw and tube.
After all, it cannot be repaired and remains unlit …
Now AliExpress is consulting with the manufacturer by message
I’m waiting for a call, whether it’s a replacement or a repair … sad
