New XM-L Light,, 26650/18650/4xAAA Good Price and 57mm head ......... NOTE: The star is solid aluminium !!! :bigsmile:

Depending on the output it should out throw 3 of the 4 links you posted.
The Q5 can’t doll out 400 lumens. The aspheric lenses are too small to make those real thowers. And the XML thrower you posted has a smaller diameter head. If the origional posted light is run at 3 amps it might be able to out throw all 4. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s even 80% as throwy as the UF2010, that’s 40k lux.

Thanks!
Im curious about this light since Im not yet into Li chemistry batt’s and this one has an option of 4xAAA which could make it good entry light for me to potentially move into 18650/26650 realm or at least show me how much of a thrower I can get for less than 20$ and run it off regular NiMh batteries.

I assume that with 4xAAA it should be considerably brighter than SK68 and out throw it easily?

Either way, Cyclone C88 is a bit expensive for me at the moment and Im still not convinced about DX 3xAA Aurora’s performance numbers so Im looking at this new light with big deal of hope for a multiple NiMh starter light :D!

How2, I paid the same as you, I’m only a few hundred miles north though :bigsmile:

Still resisting (so far),

It should be good on 4 aaa, and it’ll be even brighter on 18650 or 26650

I am tempted by this one, and also by this one at manafont ( http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/small-sun-zyt16-xml-t6-5mode-1200lumen-led-flashlight-black-1226650-p-10725?rp=393554 ) with a 63mm head, it should throw quite a bit.

But I will have to resist, as I am waiting for another deal with an HID, and I am at least trying to have no more than one light on the way.

I’m holding out on this one… at 57mm diameter, I think its right around the same diameter as the MXDL-SA76 turbohead clone which also measures 57mm across. I would expect Lux values to be 40-50K, but that all depends on the drive current. Lately the single XML Chinese budget designs have all been very good from a thermal design standpoint. I would be surprised if this light has a spring floating drop-in.

I mist admit, the 4xaa for a gift if it’s not good put me over the top.

I was looking at that small sun also but will wait for reviews on it.

Thanks Johnny!

They do look pretty similar. I think I’ll pass on this for now, but it is a great deal.

Ditto. TopofKing is a great seller. Have bought repeatedly from him. Always super service in sending replacements for items damaged in transit. Top-notch.

Purchased (and this after a $300 purchase just a day ago! I am SICK!)

Does anybody know if this would out-throw my TF TR-1200 (5x Q5)?

Great deal!

Just pulled the trigger on this deal…….Hope to get it soon.

From the re-seller I bought my UF-980L clone from. :stuck_out_tongue:
Offered to buy 2x at 8.99 gpb each including shipping but was turned down.
But he did offer to send the second light free.
:bigsmile: Soooo, I pulled the trigger. :bigsmile:

I thought I was done buying lights till next year. :~

Apparently, I’m not… :stuck_out_tongue:

I had to sign up after finding this site and some of these deals are simply to good to pass up, I too have ordered one of these.

I hope for mine sometime next week, it dispatched late last week and eBay dealers seem to be pretty quick to me. We shall see…
