Well, ordered the FandyFire one from DX.
As well as batteries, and 18650 battery holders, as we just can’t get them here in NZ.
Under $60 for the whole order, totally stoked!
Will take some measurements and keep ya’ll posted when it all turns up.
My black HD2010 is here. Ordered on the 10th, arrived on the 26th, from Tmart. Only a few very minor dings on the body, which really aren’t noticeable at all unless you’re looking for them.
This is my first HD2010 and I’m very impressed with it. After modding it with a T6 3C I’m even more impressed. I’ve kept the stock driver in it for now which pulls a ridiculous 5+ amps at the tail from a freshly charged Panasonic 18650 (no doubt less than that of course when the switch is in place), but I’m planning on replacing it soon with something more suitable (should be an interesting exercise actually considering the format of the pill).
My only complaint is that the 18650 to 26650 adapter tube is a loose fit and therefore moves and rattles around inside the body. It’s easily fixed of course, but a flaw nonetheless.
If I have time this weekend, I will solder an U3 to this host. Copperbase should ease up the thermal sag but what do you Pro’s think:
should I get better driver for high power also or consider makin copper pill? (friend has a small lathe).
Or is it, that the copper star is most important and copper pill merely overkill?
Foy has the light output sag listed in his first post with the stock pill, led and driver.
Thanks!
Too bad I have no Lux meter…
Initial sag seems to be pretty high compared to what it sags later on.
Anyway, here is the pic:
Always a bit iffy to solder places with good heatsinking but this was easier.
There is plenty if extra in the Drivers cables, so I took LED aside, soldered cables first and made Thermal pasting (GC Extreme) & contact afterwards! 
Hi there! I received my hd2010 today from tmart. Package was slighly damaged and lamp had scratches but that didn’t bother me after three week waiting. I installed 26650 battery and wtf?? The threads of tail cap were really tight but installed tail anyway. Now I can’t get the tail cap off… Other thing is that only high and strobo modes are working. So now I must contact tmart and propably send the light back and wait another 3 weeks or what is their way of handling issues like this?
edit: first time I inserted battery the threads were tight, then tried 18650 battery and all modes were working, after that the jam happened when I put the 26650 battery back. Now the battery is stuck also in the lamp… I wonder do I have to broke the lamp to get my battery off or do I have to send the whole package to tmart…
the same thing happened to me just the other day. i thought i was screwed too. i was able to get it loose though by spraying wd 40. see if that works for you…
You can remove / unscrew the head from the battery tube and get the battery out.
Yeah!! Why didn’t that came in to my mind. Thanks!
Have a nice time here, kottero!
Let me guess: XM-L U3 from LED-Tech?
My HD201 from Tmart sequence goes like this: Press fully to turn ON, always starts on High, half press to cycle through, Med - Low - Strobe - SOS. With flashlight turned ON, half press for at least 3 seconds on ANY mode and it will return back to high.
My modded HD2010 has now 120000 Lux 8)
…dedomed.
With: XM-L U2, 7135driver=3,7A, UCLp
before dedome it was 57000 Lux.
where did u get the ucl from?
I buy a little bit bigger one from flashlightlens ( UCL*p* ) and use a rasp. 
Andi, what method did you use to dedome it? I dedomed my ZY-T13 using the “run it till hot and peel off the dome with your fingernail” technique but the lux didn’t change. I still only get 39k out of it. Horrible!!
I use a razor blade and cut in the dome a little bit on the opposite side of the bonding wires. Then use tweezer, hold star and press the dome directly on a cookplate(full power) for 25sec.
Then lift the dome with fingernail at the cut.
Most time it works perfectly.
When you say a “cookplate” are you talking about the stove top? As in red hot glowing element?
translator say….yes, i have a ceramic/glass stove(hob). 0:)
I have an extra xm-l u2 on star and an HD2010 and a ceramic top stove….
Any guesses what I’m trying tonight?
