Review: UltraFire UF-T1 AAA / 10440 - 2 mode EDC

spooky hand!

The size is as smal as it can be. I find the body of my DQG III a little too thin to my liking, this light looks to be just a bit more robust. And being ultrafire: it is moddable (to XPG2...), the DQG isn't.

Compare to a AA battery. Slightly (~3/8”) longer.

Thanks. That is one tiny light. Now if it was half the price?

Can it be operated with ONE hand easily and reliably?

What’s the light in the center? The one with the clicky.

Stainless steel N-light B3, discontinued, used to be sold by cnqualitygoods

One handed = Yes

N-Light B3 - Modified - Electronic switch removed and replaced with clicky switch .. [ reverse clicky ] So much more user friendly ..

Simply one of the best AAA lights ever - at any price .

How about battery rattle as in previous DQG?
Does it have a foam ring like the new DQG to hold the battery firmly?

There is a foam insert in the head but there is slight battery rattle ..

Still something I never noticed over several kilometers of walking over the last 2 days .

No, it’s not

Length: 59mm
O.D.: 12mm
Weight: 11g

They are prety much the same light. Go ahead and get one UF-T1 (though it’s only in cool white LED and I better like neutral/warm tint)

DQG III, UF-T1

57mm, 59mm
12g, 11g
TIR optics, Reflector (hot spot)
Magnet tail, Better keychain point attachment
1.2-1.5v, 1.2-3.7v (not tested on Li-ion)

Thanks for the extra info, I'll think a bit more about it then...

Does anybody who owns this light have problems with it. I had a hard time turning it on and keeping it on. Turn to tight it goes out turn to loose and it also goes out. It had a very small sweet spot for turning it on. And now I can almost not turn it on at all.

As stated in the OP, overtighten for turning on can make it stop functioning. Your problem sounds like a worn out o-ring…

I’m not home now but I will try a new O-ring when I’m home. But how can a O-ring have something to do with the electrics?
Btw I have this light form the end of december 2012.

A new o-ring will make the “sweet” point easier to find again. Don’t lube the threads too much.

EDIT: You might got a defective unit as well…
A this point I think the DQG II/III is way better quality

I tried a 10440 in my T1 - don’t recommend it. It fried someting in the circuit. It still works but the output is REALLY low.
The high mode is now maybe 5 lumens and the low is something like 0.1 lumen, moonlight mode :slight_smile:

Manafont specs say it should work with li-ion so I did complain to them, they said they would replace it if I send it to them.
But I don’t think I’ll bother to, it works as a night light now with the really low mode. It would of been nice to have it on the keychain but not with the current output. I might get another one though, I like the size and feel of it.

Get a DQG III instead. Much better quality than the UF-T1

I don’t seem to have the right O-ring. But I think something is wrong with it one moment it seem to work pretty well and the next moment it is (almost) impossible to turn on.
Thanks for thelp. I may hope the DQG is better it is 2,5 times the price I paid for this one.

JH: I tried LiFe 3.2V and it works fine and I had no problem with it. The problem I have now was already before I tried LiFe.
