I have a 501a currently equipped with a low-voltage driver/XP-G R5 combo setup to use CR123a cells for long shelf life. I'll be using this mount to install the rig on my 995 Carbine for night-use.
Yesterday I received a Trustfire Mini-01 from easylightbuy.com. Quite pleased with the light. Very bright on high, and very useful on low with not much heat in continious use. A bit difficult though to handle with one hand due to the non aggressive knurling. Nice finish though without blemishes.
I excpected to also receive a replacement reflector for my previously ordered HD2010 from same company, but did instead receive a replacement glass lens. Hopefully they will correct the wrong shipment soon. Quite ok shipping time and polite and nice customer service. Ordered 7th of june, and received 18th, with cn post. Previous delivery was quicker though with HK post. I have been spoiled lately with shipment times from China when I ordered from both Excuct and now Easylightbuy. Cant compare to DX. Last order from them I had to wait 2 months…
Yes, if they ever upgrade the C808M to have the same features as the C9000, it would totally kick @$$. Mine is about 3.5 yrs old so sadly just outside of warranty period. I had purchased it along with AccuEvolution 10000mAh LSD D-cells. These have been absolutely fantastic and while I've never conducted any discharge tests, they are used in my power tie rack and charged maybe once a year. They are now serving duty in a Rayovac 3D lantern as I just picked up 4 Tenergy Centura 8000 mAh LSD D-cells since I've read good things about them. I'll let you know how they hold up in the long run but for the price, I think they're pretty good value. The AccuEvolutions are very pricey.
Thanks Tim! I've got a dozen Tenergy 10k mah's and will see how they hold up in my old 2d xenon lights that my dad likes to use. They have rubber ends so they don't break when he drops them which is all the time.
What I got today was a very old and neglected project finished. My 18650 P-60 drop in headlamp is now complete. It is the most comfortable, most powerful, most useful headlamp I have. I started acquiring parts for this build about a year ago and finally finished it today.
1. Small Sun ZY-1801A headlamp.
2. Two Ultrafire headband light holders.
3. One Ultrafire 501B.
4. One Ultrafire 501B pressure switch with tail cap combo.
The finished results in all it’s glory. It has incredible brightness and run time it’s super comfortable and it takes any P-60 drop in you want to use. I can also swap the 501B tube for a 501A tube if I want to save weight and run an 18350 instead of an 18650.
