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

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.

apt323 pill pics please :bigsmile:

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…

I definately agree with you on wanting the HD2010. I am usually late to the game but this time I was to early………… patience

Just got one of these in for my brother for his truck. First impression were that it looked good and felt nice to hold. From there it went all down hill. First issue I don’t think anybody has mentioned yet - my 26650 will not fit. It’s a 4sevens model. Too fat. So I tried a ET 18650 in the supplied tube. That at least fit fine. Tightened everything up, clicked it on and - nothing…. So started pulling it pack out and the the light comes on? Turns out the positive is a really weak skinny spring that bent out of the way when everything tightens up. Besides being a crappy spring, it is held on with one little tack weld, which also contributes to the spring bending and missing the battery contact. So I bent the spring good enough it finally made decent contact.
So the beam itself looks decent when I got it too work. I used my meter to do a ceiling bounce test and wasn’t too impressed. It tested just slightly higher than my Quark TurboX123 which is rated at 450L. My S12 killed it. Heck my Eagletac D25C clicky (on IMR’s) even killed it. So I figure this light is likely in the 450-500L range.
With that along with the crappy spring I told my brother NOT to bother keeping in his trucks glove box, which was the reason for this purchase. I wouldn’t won’t him to count on it working first time he needed it to change a tire or etc.
He also just got in a Suterfire C10 this week, figuring one of the two would be a good light. That light doen’t look near as nice, but had put out about another 200L and looks a lot better quality inside. So I guess that light gets the truck duty and the Ultraok light will likely get stuck in the garage for when I’m desperate for a light and don’t wont to use my good lights with my greasy hands.
Sorry guys, but this light, at least the one WE received is junk. Maybe a good drop in could save it. It’s a shame cause it does look good.
