【New Product】XTAR T2 pocket light

controversal model. built in charge + replaceable battery is strong side. But WHY 10380? it totally has no advantage over 10440. i hope UI is not sort o of sh*tfires.

suppose such castrated battery will be deal killer for lots of people.

I like everything but the built in charger and oddball battery. Would make a good light for my dad.

When the light is off, long press the switch to turn on, and single click to change lighting levels for standard mode: Low /Mid / High. Click twice to enter moonlight mode, and single click to change moonlight level: Low /Mid / High. Click 3 times to enter Strobe mode. And long press to turn off.
For lock function, click 5 times to switch-lock, and green indicator blinks once it locks; Click 5 times again to unlock, and enter standard low mode.

Now this T2 is available on our aliexpress store, and there is the link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002730993220.html

10380, why?

6lm - 4lm - 2lm are NOT the true moonlight modes :person_facepalming:

10380, why? Sorry, XTAR - but very confusing. Design looks nice though.

£36.66 shipping to UK!!! For the cheapest shipping option
That’s A total of £80.62 with Ali fees

I love the design, on board charging, fuel gauge.

UI, LED, moonlight levels and the price - not at all.

There’s something terribly wrong with that webpage… It quotes US $45.99 for the light, and another US $50.53 for shipping to Thailand, i.e. ‘2 doors down the road’. That’s US $96.52 total, a steal! :smiling_imp:

We in the UK also have to pay 20% Tax which Aliexpress charges us therefore $114.63.

I really like some some aspects of this light, but I’m still going to skip it.

Positive:

  • I really like the looks, and although I suspect it’s probably a plain grey I would be very happy if it had the purple tint I see in some of the pictures.
  • Single AAA lights are my preferred EDC so the size and shape are good.
  • The clip attachment is excellent.
  • Although tailcap magnets are controversial I love them, even in a pocket EDC light.
  • Built in charging is great - I like being able to quickly top up the cell when I’m at my desk.
  • Although the cell is non-standard, at least it’s theoretically replaceable.

Neutral:

  • 10380 cell - it’s annoying, but probably easier to replace than a a RovyVon cell.
  • ‘Moonlight’ modes - sure I would prefer lower modes, but I get by with my single-mode SF-348 most of the time.

Negative:

  • That UI! :confounded: It’s not the worst UI in the world but for something in my EDC rotation I want it to either be simple or familiar (e.g. Anduril) and this is neither. I don’t think I’ve come across anything like it, and some aspects seem to go against convention (like double-click for moonlight rather than turbo). I can’t imagine most muggles would find the UI simple either.
  • Price - even assuming the AU $90 postage is an error, a AAA-size EDC light would have to be pretty incredible for me to pay AU $60 for it.

I think Xtar has received a fairly negative reaction to some of their recent product announcements on BLF, and I appreciate that they’re continuing to engage with the forum. :slight_smile:

Could it be a cylindrical LiPo to save the space and weight of a can?

$50 shipping to the US? Ouch.

And the UI doesn’t sound great… We’ll see when the reviews are in I suppose.

Wow, same pricing to get it to the US

The T1 is free shipping, but it’s $35. Wpuld rather get the jetbeam

let me review it XTAR!

i am a XTAR fan from WK42 days
though mine broke, annoyingly

anyway
do not like 10380, charge port or price :slight_smile:
so far!

does it tail-stand?
looks like no

why… that nice mini toy flashlight out there always makes me think twice for the price

Bad UI, Weird battery size, XP-G3, High price, and high shipping cost. Sounds like a winner. :+1: :person_facepalming:

Sorry for this confusing shipping. We checked with the sales team on Aliexpress store, and they reset it again!
