HD2010 - where to buy ?

I received mine from T-Mart ---- 6 days order to delivery.

Absolutely PERFECT, no scratches, dings. (Although the packaging was crushed, flimsy plastic shipping bag, light was PERFECT).

I ordered this based on JohnnyMac, and Foy's incredible painstaking detailed reviews (Thanks Guys).

The HD2010 is as Reviewed. Will NOT be a Shelf Queen one you will enjoy for many evenings of use.

Any difference in HD2010 current draw between the various sellers/brand names?

I have had 6 HD 2010s come in for driver swaps plus the one I have now. The one from Lightmalls was the only one with no defects so far. The reflectors on the other were all dirty or had spots, the coating on the other had scratches or nicks also. It also was the cheapest as $38.90 but took the longest to get here 5 weeks. This was my first purchase from Lightmalls so I am not 100% sure about them.
There are also 2 different shades of gray the Tmart one is a light gray and the IO one is a dark grey.

Agedbriar all the ones I have seen had East-092 drivers



Thank you Erik!

Keep in mind if you are going to do a driver swap on these it’s a PIA. A spacer ring needs to be made to get a Nanjg 105 driver to fit. I can post dimensions if any one is interested.

I got mine from easylightbuy. Reflector and optics were free of defects and debris. It had a small knick or two under the anodize on the side, but it was packed really well so I think its a defect from the manufacturer. FWIW this light is cast aluminum, and very soft so it scratches very easy. I dabble into all kinds of gear-centric hobbies (guitars, RC, knives, DIY audio, mountain biking). I have never encountered a metal this soft of any kind. In terms of material hardness its somewhere between brass and solder, much closer to brass though. I have put several dings on mine pack carrying it around. IMHO the manufacturers do little if any QC inspection so its a lotto for sure in that regard.

I wouldn’t hesitate to consider this vendor again… although there are a lot more options to consider now than when I bought mine 3-4 months ago.

Heres mine… FWIW.
Agree, its not the easiest mod to pull off.

My grey one from TMart was in good condition on arrival. Three dings on the edges between the Bezel and Head, almost unnoticeable. Reflector is flawless, clean no scratches or anything else. I swapped out the GITD boot for a light blue one from IOS - goes very nicely with the grey finish.

Kramer, seems like I've read somewhere that the grey annodizing is not nearly as tough as black. Are you saying the finish is weak or the metal itself?

Got mine from Tmart, great condition and fast.

Got mine from DD. For some reason I was not getting anywhere near the current reading that others were getting using 2 different King Kongs, protected and non protected (I modified mine to run two 26650's and changed the driver. Its still a work in progress) and testing with 3 different decent DMM though the driver was the same. Love it. If you want to buy from Tmart I have a 15% discount code left if you want it.

Both I think, but mostly the soft metal.

Looks like Tmart sells TangsFire version and not UltraFire :expressionless: DD sells TF version too, for 3 bucks less.

Mines from Tmart and is an UltraFire.

Tmart sells BOTH UltraFire and TangsFire. It seems most of the UltraFire’s sold a while back were gray, as was mine. Now I don’t see gray for either brand.

Apart from lightmalls, is there anyone else who sells the black version?

Tmart. Perfect condition. 4 days. Sturdy white box (not like the flimsy Chinese ones) packed in a puffy envelope with lotsa bubble wrap. No complaints.

Mine is gray/silver. Don’t know about the black.

I'd avoid easylightbuy .. They were quick to take money on lights they never had and couldn't get . Getting money back from them wasn't that hard but a struggle to understand what they had in mind ...They offered numbers of other lights all way overpriced ..For a place that actually looks like they might make a product ....they seemed pretty clueless and didn't know heads from tails ..My guess is I was talking to the wrong end .

Thanks for all of the input.

i was thinking of purchasing a hd 2010 as well. perfect timing on a a new thread.
so i looked at tmart, and they only sell the tangs version. is this just as good as the ultrafire? they have a 3600 lumen with 3xml and the 1200 lumen with one led.
which version is the one that everybody raves about? i think from reading and looking at pictures, the popular one was the 1xml led, but wouldnt the 3600lumen be brighter and better for just a little more money?

The Tangsfire version is a very nice and identical to the HD-2010 but only the single emitter version. The triple emitter Tangsfire is a poor design with horrible thermal properties. Don’t get the triple. There is nothing wrong with the single emitter Tangsfire.
