Nice! Looking forward to some measurements!
I should also have 1 on the way.. curious how it stacks up against the L2K.

Thank you, Mr. ChibiM
I donāt 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 doesnāt light up today ā¦ I think itās a bad tail switch
I disassembled it, but Iām 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 ā¦
Now AliExpress is consulting with the manufacturer by message
Iām waiting for a call, whether itās a replacement or a repair ā¦ sad
To check if the tailswitch is the problem, you can bypass the switch using a piece of wire. Use it on the negative side of the cell and wall of the tube where the tailcap used to go (on the bare aluminium part)
Maxtoch are very popular in New Zealand, but Iāve heard the tail switches are failing on many of them, itās the most common failure
It does come with an additional switch
Confirms my comment on their switches being an issue then
Thank you for your support
I replaced the switch, but I forgot to insert the spacer due to a mistake.
As a result, the screw and the tip of the tube were in contact and deformed
Currently consulting with the manufacturer, thank you again
I received my L2k and it compares well against my Astrolux wp2.
I am no techie but L2k throws further. The wp2 starts to darken fairly quickly. The heat after 5 minutes is cooler with L2k.
just for laughs I put LF61 filter diffuser on both lights. L2k is brighter.
I look forward to seeing a comparison with the L2K & L3K just to see if there is much difference if any.
Remove the tail cap and remove the battery minus and body
I shorted it directly with metal, but the light did not turn on
My L2K doesnāt seem to be a bad switch
I consulted with the manufacturer and sent it back once for inspection.
I hope you will be back in good health
My 1,600m beamshot of the L3K
Really impressive shot there,the color seems more unified than L2K. They make some really neat lights,mine is just incredible in pitch dark,thanks for sharing.
In the city onto building itās great, but on a farm itās quite bad, that would be LEPs in general though.
I tried shinning it on the hill Iām standing on from that house and it was terrible, couldnāt see the hill. It was most certainly reaching, but due to the beam being so thin you just couldnāt identify any surroundings to know where abouts everything was. Even at 1,300m on a closer hill I couldnāt see anything. Tried again with 10x binoculars and still nothing. Pulled out the BLF GT90 and itās lighting up everywhere with ease.
Iāll sell this once Iām done for the reduced reviewers price I purchased everything for.
Fun for in the city, but for me on the farm itās not so much fun.
Vinh tested his first sample of an L3K at only 1.5mcd, while all L2K at around 2.5mcd.
Iām yet to measure at 20m, but at 9m I got 1.9 mcd
First Jetbeam, now Maxtochā¦great. is this the new trend then? Releasing āupgradedā products which perform worse than their predecessors. Iāll wait for 1lumen review but this isnāt looking good.
Is it possible his has a fault? Does he have the L2K to compare numbers with 1Lumen?
I got 1.9 mcd, Iāll do another test tomorrow at 20m and report back
My video review is almost finished, should be up by tomorrow night of the L3K. Itās taken me many, many hours to pull this one off.
If it does not let you see in the dark, itās not a flashlight. It may be something else, but not a flashlight. The LEP is a direct contradiction of light in general. It really has more characteristics of a laser than a flashlight. I think the image presented makes that very clear.
Yesterday evening i was playing a bit with the L2K and WT90.
The L2K throws way farther, but the beam of the WT90 is fantastic! It might not reach 2,5km but the beam is a lot bigger and way more useful as it lights up a lot more with very limited spill
