Review: UniqueFire UF-F10 (Fenix TK35 clone)

I just compared they reflector size and damn the T08 reflector is huge compared ot the F10!

Rikr may i ask what battaries you run in your T08? I am asking coz am not sure if my Keeppower 18650 3400’s will work purchased from Bob

I cannot give an honest answer to that question since I don’t own a T08 yet. Ironically, DX is sending me a T08 for review and it supposedly shipped out already. Since I didn’t order it I have no tracking information but as soon as it arrives it will get the same tear down treatment as the UF-F10.

Rikr does have both lights and one thing he said that I can guarantee is the T08 will out throw the UF-F10. The F10 is not designed to be a dedicated thrower like the T08 is. It's more of an all purpose light that happens to have a wonderfully focused beam. It depends on what your end goal is for the light. From what I've read I can pretty much bet that the UF-F10 has a much higher build quality than the T08.

Thanks bro for the honest reply :star:

I have HI-Max 18650’s in there and also have had no problems with TrustFire 3000, Xtar 3100

Very nice review.

The threaded reflector is a nice touch !

I agree that the beam on the UF-F10 is a all around more user friendly light, since the T08 is geared for throw.

great thanks for the replies guys.

If budget remains the same and you can sacrifice the parallel 18650 format, I would suggest ZY-T13 for better overall quality than ZY-T08.
Yet again, T13 also need more power by soldered resistor… But I´m pretty sure it is capable of similar throw as T08 when both driven at same current.

I hate its size tho ><

I like my T13 better than the T08, and they are really close in throw to each other.

your commentary and found myself nodding in agreement ….“Oh I see kind of moment”…and in addition just really presenting your product with the intent on educating those,including myself ,who is very much new at this and still looking to match up “flashlight terminology with pictures of said termins”!!Absolutely enjoyed it.

The form of T08 is nice, I can´t argue with that.
T13 just has so good UI. Instant HIGH always on tailcap and easy step-down with Side-Clicky and you don´t need to cycle through nasty disco-modes 8)
No loose driver PCB´s, no issues whatsoever.
I just wish I would soon get those resistors…

Excellent review , sir .

I will buy your modded version when you tire of it .

Given that most of the t-08’s are coming in driven at about 2a, if you want to make the most of it, your still either going to have to fit a .22ohm resistor or a pot. I’m waiting to see what the pot johnny’s ordered reads as mine is to high.

Another thing to note, I found my crap ultrafire cells gave 3a where other better cells only gave 2.34a. Viffer noted that the driver is odd in that its very responsive to resistance in circuit, unfortunately, I’ve not found any mods to the host that raised drive current.

Looking at this, I wish I’d sprung the extra few cents for the tk-35 clone.

Johnny, how were the tail cap screws? This is a real bug bear of mine with my zy-t08, their just crap quality. Great review, thanks for sharing.

Gords, the tail piece screws in mine were fine. None were stripped and are of decent quality.

As for the pots I ordered, I got the ones Viffer recommended from ebay. Dirt cheap, too!

Nice one, now I’m really thinking I need to buy this too…. I’ll just plump for it and order a few of those pots next week. Do us a favour, when you do the mod, could you take some macros and add them here?

I guess you know what I’m thinking….another damm good post and review for the mod reference guide. 8)

Soitenly. :wink:

Excellent review as always, JohnnyMac! I do like this light, looking toward to your power mod.

Great review! Very thorough with plenty of photos - hours and hours worth of hard work. Thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

I don’t care what anyone else says, you rock my man. :cowboy_hat_face: 8)
