NEW--F22 CREE XM-L T6 1A/3C 1x26650/18650 1000-Lumen Stepless Brightness Flashlight

Wow, side switch and powered by 1x26650 or 2x26650. This is going to be my next purchase for sure.

Wow! Very nice! What kind of beam pattern are we expecting? Flooder? thrower? Good mix? Little pricey, but seems worth it if it's as good as it looks!

What really sucks about this light is the NW option. It basically means that I’m going to have to purchase one.

I mean really, it’s not very fair to make a light that is as appealing as this one. I could probably have resisted if it was CW only.

In the bottom picture where it shows the extender the tan one has a flat bezel… is that an option as well?

Good question. I’d prefer the non-crenelated bezel too.

Hi Cainn, I’m sure it must be an option. IOS is selling them too and actually shows the bezel as an option. I think I’d opt for the non-crenelated bezel myself.

If it was slightly cheaper, it would be a killer bargain.

I already messaged Ric: He said they stock the assault bezel, but you can request the other.

Hope this helps.

Ric responded quickly.

Hi Ric,
Does It has memory mode?
I mean when I set brightness to 50% and then take out battery, That brightness will be 50% or anything?
I don’t like Ultrafie UF-T50, It has no memory mode. When I take out battery . It will start at High mode.
Thanks.

Yes, it do has memory. If the brightness is 10, it will memory 10 brightness.

BTW, The CW emitter is U2 1A, we have corrected the typo.

My stuff thought by mistake it was T6 1A, wrong title here.

Beam of this torch is so perfect. Will upload some beamshot tonight.

Wow I missed this thread. Love this light… maybe someday when I get 26650 batteries….

Although I’m impressed by this torch, I’ve held off on ordering due to a nagging concern. I’ve really come to rely on being able to quickly switch between programmed output levels. I don’t want to have to ramp all the time to get an output level suitable for any given situation. What would make this torch perfect is the ability to program at least 2 (preferably 3) output levels and switch between them. This doesn’t make the ramping feature redundant of course since it would still be useful for fine tuning when the need and/or desire arises.

Or am I missing something?

You don’t need 26650s, as it comes with a 18650 to 26650 battery converter sleeve.

Yeah, I had a ramping light before (nitecore) and it can be a PITA to go up and down depending on the application. But inasmuch as I use my lights exclusively for fun/recreational use, I usually like to show-off and have my lights at full brightness to start anyway. But if one uses it for work or other serious matters I can see how ramping could be a cumbersome, even dangerous delay.

That said, if this thing is near as bright as claimed (1k lumens?) I’m definitely going to get one. Of course, it’ll probably only be half as bright - darn Chinese lumens! :wink:

@Ric-CN

How quickly does this ramp? In other words, roughly how many seconds does it take to ramp all the way from high to low, or vice versa?

It’s really a question of whether or not the driver actually does provide somewhere close to a maximum of 3 amps to the star. If it does, and you’re using decent batteries, then the actual output really would be somewhere close to or perhaps slightly above 800 lumens once losses are factored in.

Something like this can help you calibrate your bullshit detector reasonably well. You just have to hope that the figures given for current draw are reasonably accurate.

This is why the custom driver for the T50 I made had ramping when the switch was held, but cycled through 3 modes with a quick on-off.

That’s why I loved so much my ITP SA1 :heart_eyes: 2 switches: one on tail (master on/off, momentary), and second on head. Preprogrammed 4 modes if I remember well: low, med, hi, strobe. But… press and hold the switch on head to activate the ramping mode. Instant memory for any mode. Just freakin’ awesome! (easy and useful)

I agree. Variable brightness is only practical with magnetic control like the popular Sunwayman line of variable brightness lights. Cycling through the entire output with a single switch, forward and backward, gets to be tedious. That’s my take anyway.

This is a nice looking light though, and +1 for accepting 26650!
