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

That’s good news, how2. I’m in The Smoke too so mine should be here tomorrow I guess though heaven knows how yours overtook mine.

From your comments I’m feeling that my Plan B looks favorite. Beef up the pill, drop in one of the new XP-G2’s and a 2A driver swap. My thoughts are that this will result in a little less spill but tighter beam. The new XP-G2 has a 115 degree viewing angle v the XM-L’s 125 degrees, that should be sweet in a 57mm head.

mine should be at home when i get there hopefully, or either tomorow for sure.

Hope it rocks out!!!

This is what i hate….all this waiting, and calling my wife everyday to see if it made it home.

It was in the mailbox when I got home! Looks to be about 10 days for delivery. Mine was branded UltraOk with these number under the name A105T6

Took it all apart and then put it back together, I like the way it looks and the parts. Didnt see any scratches or dings. The Silver bezel keeps the glass in and there is any o-ring (gitd) and it wasnt installed exactly correct but got it straightened out. Installed a few different batteries and they all showed it pulled about 1.9a but the batteries were not fully charged and were about 3.8v. Charging the SF blue and white protected battery for tonight.

Compared it to my L2 with the bright MF drop-in installed (granted that both batteries were about 3.8v) The Hot Spot on the UltraOk A105T6 is brighter than the MF drop-in and is smaller. The beam is ringy though inside the house. So far I think that i might really like this light. I like the size, the looks, the feel of it in my hand. Hopefully the light output will be in the catergory of awesome.

A new driver and maybe an XML U2 can be in its future.

For the price it is a nice looking light…….cannot wait to get mine, should make a nice light for work. Can you post a pic of the beam profile……so i know what to expect please.

Expect ringy :slight_smile:

I received no AAA holder! That’s half the reason I bought it. :frowning: Sad message to seller….

Might do better with an OP reflector i am guessing…….time to put some clear coat on the reflector and see if that helps the beam profile.

Nah rings or no rings a light this big needs all throw it can get.

Yes of course your right……should not bother me a bit since darkness is thy enemy, lol.

Wow thats a nie looking light.
How is the driver board held in place? is it just a press-in component? Doesn’t look like its soldered to brass.

looks like a press in and theres a ring around it holding in

I let the light run for around 5 minutes and it started getting a little warm. I figured it would be warmer by that time. I dediced that I would start taking stuff apart. Pulled the pill section out of it and just as I thought (didnt want it to be) that star was only sitting on the small outside edges of the pill section :frowning: ….

That why I want to see the pill.

There’s plenty of room there to make a copper slug to sit the star on though, even an ally slug would help, like you would make for a mag build. :bigsmile:

As I said above, I’m seeing it as a functional host when it arrives, from what I can see, it has potential.

beamshots, beamshots, beamshots!

I’m reading 608 lumens on high. Medium and low are 315 and 166 lumens. 27300 lux. Strobe is fast but not psycho. SOS really is repeated S O S.

No update on my AAA battery holder.

I should have never bought this, the form factor makes me want an HD2010.

Ok I don’t know how to measure pwm and I never really cared because it never bothered me before but…… The low on this bothers me. I was trying to sleep but the kids are gone and left their tv on, so I used this light to go upstairs. I noticed my feet when walking looked like a strobe light was on. I could almost see the still beam pulsing like my Predator does when I try to get the strobe up to 50000.

Medium doesn’t bug me much. If someone can measure the pwm of the low I will know my limit…
