UniqueFire G10 CREE XP-E R5 6-Mode 350-Lumen White LED Flashlight with Strap (1*14500/1*AA)

DX only just shipped mine , so how long for HK post ? , might be another month before it arrives

dang, i was looking forward to a review on this soon :( lol. Well, all the longer it will be until i am convinced to purchase another light i suppose.

I gots the flue , so was being pessimistic ...

Why is the silver more expensive?

+1

Silver one has one less strobe modes so I guess they would be asking twice if it were no strobes but only dimmer modes. :)

It's from a diffrent supplier, which is probably most of the reason.

I really do like the look of the silver one, it could just be because it's lit better but it looks better quality than the black.

Because it's shinier and purdier.:*

my 1 mode is in the mail

Uniquefire G10 6-mode - 2.0A/1.1A/0.5A tail-current on fresh Eneloops - tailstands on the very flat tailcap - memory present and working OK - glossy finish - build is quiet good - 3 O-rings - strobes still annoying - like the Hugsby P32 still a bit better - G10 has better beam than the P32 ... less rings ... warmer tint - side spill brighter on P32

P.S.: Uniquefire G10 is not mine

P.P.S.: Slideshow click full-screen and and slow speed

P.P.P.S.: P31 is actually a P32 (3-mode) and it is the second in a row to arrive this way. Are all DX P31 3-modes now?



















Vectrex: first, thanks.

And second, that P31 works with AA and 14500?

Don't know, I don't have any 14500 but I suspect that this manual suggest that you can feed it 14500.... but my Chinese is nearly non-existent.





BTW DX seems to have shipped via China Post the last 2 packages... ultra-fast 10 and 11 days to Germany... I'm used to 18-35 days with HK Post.

Received mine today ... Current draw @ high is 2A. Way to much for this small flashlight. But it is well made! One of the best I own ;)

@ Vectrex:

The G10 works with 14500 and or AA? is the driver destroyed?

I don't have ANY 14500s, so I can't test it. Not for the P31/32 and also not for the G10.

Single mode one works with both ...

Hey Fran it looks like the same driver in my C3SS and the F20 that has the red driver with the trace and it WILL be destroyed by 14500.

No, my theory was totally wrong, almost partially.

My K10 6 mode has that driver (red path) and it has not been destroyed with 14500.

My K10 1 mode has different driver (no red path).

So the conclusion is (AFAIK) that the driver supports AA/14500 but if the Vf of the led is too low it will go pooof.

All of my flashlights that use this driver with the red path have been destroyed with 3.7volts. You are probably right about the forward voltage of the LED because all of this type driver don't burn out with 3.7V but I do believe that this driver is easier to damage with 3.7V than some. So in conclusion I will not try this driver on 3.7 volt any more

it's pulling 2 amps on a AA nimh or a 14500 ?
