@ Muto Thanks for that great review i read it couple of days ago! Never tried ordering from LightsCastle before tho
@ Suncoaster is it the Ultrafire brand? hows the quality and shipping speed?
Thanks in advance guys
I meant Tmart !
I got my Ultrafire HD2010 from Tmart. About $30.
Lightmalls was for another.
It’s Ultrafire, black and pretty flawless. It has been doing backyard duty, living beside the back door, and turned on high for only a few minutes at a time most nights.
I just recieved my fandyfire HD2010 from Lightscastle.
This thing is DAMN BRIGHT! zero body damage or scratches. The build and feel is just ROCK SOLID! i love this bad boy.
I took some tailcap reading off a fresh KeepPower 18650 protected Panasonic 3400mAh and i can only read high setting which is 3.35mA at the tailcap and SOS mode which i didnt pay any attention to.
Only thing to note is my HD2010 came with a black clicky instead of green GITD rubber, and it came with a holster and the 18650 battery adapter
ordered mine Monday,said it was in us warehouse so I hope I get tomorrow. tmart say order is processed but not shipped hope they just didn’t update.
I received my HD2010 from DD ( 45 days! - long delivery time). I paid 21 $ (with Coupon Code and DD Points).
It is an original Ultrafire. Its heavier than I thought… I’ll try to check it out this evening.
Got mine from T-Mart, and it was only $26 after using the $5 off coupon.
Ordered Friday, arrived Wednesday. Its black-I do not know about drivers and all that—but it is free of branding
—-and I love it!
Certainly have. Nothing to it really. I’m still using the original driver for now, but I plan to swap that out too at some point.
This is an older thread, but is there anywhere to get a new HD2010 now that has good performance, esp. with respect to current?
FastTech has the FandyFire, that they now claim has 3.1 amps draw:
It seems like everywhere else is kind of a lottery as far as what driver you get?
I tried to see if I could get another one from Tmart and have them check the driver, but so far no luck, so I’m still looking.
i got mine from tmart usa warehouse for 30.34 after coupon codes promos etc.
it was a “real” model despite being unlabeled (real meaning direct drive on high mode)
I think it makes a difference, so can you provide a link, and also when you ordered it?
I got one recently from them and it was with an EAST-092B:

which I just returned, because of other reasons.
Well, I just decided to order the same one again from Tmart, and take my chances, I guess. It usually takes ~5 days to get here. I’ll post back…
thats the one i got i believe
Thanks for the confirmation.
I’m “traditionally” not very lucky, so I’ll probably get one with the EAST-092B again, BUT, I’m being hopeful and “keeping my fingers crossed” this time :)!!
Will definitely post back, but, wish me luck :)???
Sorry don’t know if it’s relevant but anyone that does purchase one from tmart can save a few bucks

Too late for me :)… But it might still help someone else, so thanks for posting…

The one I recieved from tmart seems perfect, very strong, correct driver, clean threads, decent o-rings, even had clean glass. It’s unbranded, all black no lettering at all. I’ve only used it a couple times but, it works well. HD2010 Linky
Who knows if they are shipping good ones mixed in with 92B versions, but I did get a good one recently. Took 4 days to get it… US to US shipping…
I didn't check the current on my new tmart HD2010 yet, but I also think they may be using the good East92 driver.
Mine says East 92, very easy to see the lettering inside. I haven’t checked mine with a meter yet, but its definitely an East 92. Very good throw with a bit of whine in the lower modes. Medium has the most whine, not loud, but its there if you listen for it. I’m surprised I got a strong one after reading all the threads on the weak ones. Its actually a nice light, paid $27.15 for mine with the TLFLASH code.
Glad this thread popped up as I was wanting to maybe get one of these. But, I have also read there’s alot of manufacturing differences with this light. I’ll be reading the thread.
Thanks!
The quality control is always an issue in general and I was surprised that I actually got a well built HD2010 because I didn’t want to mod it. I chose the black one because it had recent reviews saying it was well driven. The Tmart reviews were actually correct. The next batch may not be. The grey ones are hit and miss on Tmart. I know of at least three people last month who received good black 2010’s from Tmart. So, its probably the best gamble for US buyers right now. Its odd the unbranded version is well built, but it is for a change…
