What you got today

got my DX order today too…it’s a dual Jet flame lighter…had to turn the jets up for them to work properly, but it’s a really nice score for 5$

Today I had a nice little package in the mail

Two of these black 980L clones from ebay vikicompany (Buy In Coins was on the package label)

These two are nicer than my first bronze clone.

The bodies are almost identical to the original 980L

Alloy bezels instead of stainless, but I expected that

No springs on drivers unlike another someone got that broke off

Brighter than my bronze clone

Threads lubed, good O rings

Tail-stand ok.

5 Mode, defaults to high

Decent lanyards if you like that sort of thing

Nice feel to the switch

Nicer beams and tighter hotspot too. No bad rings or artefacts. There is a minute dot not as bright in the centre of the beam, you can only see it when you move the light. I doubt it will be visible in use. One in particular has a smaller smaller and brighter hotspot than the other. That one has a tighter beam than my original and it looks to be brighter too. The colour is whiter than my 980L, which has a nice warm tint.

Al in all, I am very happy with these two lights. They are much nicer than the other clone I have and I think they are 95% or more of the original 980L

Forgot to add, they are branded UltraFire T6-13 on the head, similar to the originals marking. The ano is a little more textured and shinier than the original too.

I received my DQG Ti R5CW today!!! Same wooden box. GREAT FLASHLIGHT

Congratulations! You'll love it!

I didn't get any flashlights, but I got two sets of Yikerz! Looks like a very addicting game.


Got my third predator. Silver to complete the set! This was second hand (as new) but the only problem is that this one is cool white. Difficult mod required!

Comparing the R4 neutral, to the R5 cool white, there is a small difference in apparent brightness in favour of the cool, but the difference in tint makes the neutral far more desirable. Im thinking a Nichia mod in in order, but not before beamshots. Will be a big hit to output though, apparently a Q4 equivalent, for 95 CRI

SRM GB8-707 which is the non-camouflaged version that does have black hardware.

Got a nice 56mm Pentax lens today. Pre-attached to the end of a black tube. Lets a LOT of light through it. Weighs a .00ton too.

Oh, and some “tan” cord that is closer to FDE . . nice color, but nowhere close to the sand color I expected.

Happy Birthday, Mizjif! Congrats on the spiffy new present

I just got the Tmart (bait and switch) WF980L although the picture clearly shows a UF980L. It’s a different light. The led looks like a second as there is marks all over the dome. Beam is poor. Does not have a stainless switch and has a different body and bezel. Removed the bezel to clean the lens. The o ring fell apart. WTF. Should have known better. My KD C8 is a much better light when compared to this.

This is what I was sent. As it does exist on their site maybe it was a mix up but them I doubt they have the UF-980.

This is what I paid for

I finally got the elusive black HD-2010 from Lightmalls. This is the first one out of six that has passed across my desk scratch and ding free with a perfect reflector.

Spent a fun afternoon at our buddy Craigs place (Illumination Supply)… kid in a candy store!!
Picked up some DIY goodies and a Energizer RGB anglehead. I am all for hands-free trail lighting, and have been eye-ing this light for a while now.

That thing is gorgeous. Why oh why did I go to Tmart? My scratched-dragged-behind-a-pickup HD2010 cost $3 more?

I got a gray T-mart one also it was scratched also, I traded it for a darker grey one that was supposed to be black sold that one and finally got a good one, it was quite the search.

At least you got to be the 3000th post on “What I got” thread …………………cool

Oh wow . . . . didn't see that.

I guess I need to stop whining about it. It is really bright and well, it was going to look this in 3 or 4 years anyway.

Foy, well it did arrive in less than 2 weeks though, right? :zipper_mouth_face:

I got my order from tmart today and did a little better than EDC, I did get the right light I ordered (a UltraFire G4 MCU)…just not the right batteries. I ordered two blue ultrafire 18650 “2400” mAh batts and got one of the above and one unbranded “2800” mAh 18650 that is dead (well, 1.3 volts) I messaged Louis and Sherry.

With the discount I got on the light from the BLF group buy I still come out ahead even with one dead batt but I am hopeing I can still get another good batt.

Came in 15 days. Guess it takes a day or two to apply the patina.
