Roche M170 - 3 X U2 / 4 X 18650

There is a review out on shoudian.com,

I posted a picture on CPF, my Firefoxes III thread as it looks like a FF3 clone but in led.
Very tempting, nice to have as FF3 companian. FF3 will still blow it away thou.

Looks like a budget TM11 to me. I like the looks and form factor, just don't like the switch operation (3 second hold down to turn on according to the link). I'll just save up for the FireFoxes 3 (compact HID) and another set of 4 18650's that way I get flood and monster throw.

I’m not sure i like that you have to hold the button for 3 seconds to turn it on

I have come to appreciate this function on the Blackshadow Rook and Queen, as it prevents most accidental switch engagement.

Well, seeing that the rook and the queen both cant be locked out easily, its probably for the better.

already ordered this torch from CHQG, and, found today some pictures on shoudian.com:











looks pretty nice and more interesting than Skyray King, can’t wait! :slight_smile: also looks like Roche website slowly starts to work: http://www.roche-flashlight.com

I like, but wallet says not so fast! :slight_smile:

BTW, I see that the box is properly marked. 8)

Good morning,

something new about this one?! I also couldn´t find anything on shoudian. Is there a link maybe??

Regards,
Tom

That's a 33% drop in light output in 1 Hour. Is that good or bad compared to other lights?

I’m getting one of these as soon as Intl-Outdoor gets them in. I already ordered four new Panasonic NCR18650B for it.
Actually, I’m a little torn between the M170 and BlackShadow Terminator, but I’m leaning towards the M170.

Got notification today that my M170 from Fancy Flashlights is at the post office… :smiley:
Picking it up tomorrow. I was wondering between this, Skyray King and the Terminator, but the lack of PWM was the winning argument and the stepless brightness control a good bonus! :heart_eyes:
Also ordered 4 Panasonic 3100 mAh 18650’s from FastTech for it. This is my first multi-emitter light and will probably be the only one. At least for a while… :~
Will give some more feedback when I get to use the light!

I got the Panasonic 3400 from FastTech. Please let me know how yours fit.

How do you know it does not have PWM?

any feedback on the m170?

I ordered my M170 today from Intl-Outdoor. This will be my first multi cell, multi emitter flashlight.
Until now my most powerful would be my Xeno G42 and Maelstrom S-12. This is a whole new realm I’ve gotten myself into. I sure hope I made the right decision.

I opted for the T6 3C neutral.

Looks like a good one to me. Let us know when you get it.

Yeah looks nice :slight_smile:

Ordered the Roche M170 aswell. NW T6. Will post photos when it arrives! :slight_smile:

I’m actually thinking of ordering a small tripod for it. I think it might make a good centerpiece. :bigsmile:
