Review: Crelant V21A .... Premium U3 version

The review is almost finished (if you want to read something…) I still have to add photos of the box, beamshots and add the current draw.

Any question?

TX!

Thanks for your work! :)

i wont comment on the flashlight itself tho. dont get me even started lol.. begins with the brand name, and ..

:wink: You are welcome!. Let´s see if I can take the beamshots this night when it is dark……

Thanks for the review.

Is is possible to swap out the forward-clicky switch for a reverse-clicky, for the purpose of facilitating mode changes?

hmmm…. it is possible, but I dont know if there is any switch with this size and shape…

I will take a photo of the switch when I will take the beamshots and photos of the box, to help you “see” what switch it uses… but… a bit difficult to find one, I beleive… XP

Hi BLF!

I added beamshots at 3 meters, also photos of the box and the switch (sorry for the quality)

The switch is a “square” one, soldered to a PCB. Perhaps can be found… DX has about 20 different models, I dont know if any of them will fit there…

The “square” part of the switch, measures 11x11 milimeters. It has 2 pins soldered, one in one edge and the other in the other edge…. I will try to find one at DX and post it here…

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.

Also Ill probably search for myself but I was wondering how much it is? The link to it directs to google.com

I have seen it being sold from 38$ to 42$.

I would not pay more an 25$ for…. “this”

too bad guys… the light started to flicker

I had the light powered on on med mode lying over the table… about 1 hour later, it started to flicker with no reason…

I have to find why….

I am starting to dislike this flashlight…

well they got something like a year and a half warranty on um. that should cover it… and we will get to see how their warranty service is too :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe I will fix it…. if it can be fixed…. I will not send nothing to anywhere in the world…… too expensive for me

Thanks, fran, for your review ;)!

Looks like another sh*t light from “premium” Chinese manufacturers who are trying hard to achieve level of quality that JetBeam/Klarus/Fenix/etc lights have.

Crelant is no premium brand.

Crelant is ....

Ok, it is not a sh*it light (but almost XD)… seriously, it is an aceptable light (not bad!) but many things could have been improved before entering into production

And about the flickering. Update. The flickering dissapeared by the same way it appeared: without doing nothing.

But… but… the continous flickering dissapeared… but now it has some “esporadic” flickering. Some times it flickers. I have tried to solve cleaning and lubing the threads (again), completely screwing the swtich assembly… but… no results. Maybe bad driver?

You guys are too hard on Crelant!

Alright, I dont own this light, but this review got me interested, however there are lots of 2xAA offers in the market today, both from “little” budget brands up to the big players and then theres somewhere between companies like Crelant.
Im just disappointed that they ask 30-40$ for a light that is quite a dud to be honest.

Thanks very much! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

manage to order this light after reading some reviews, still waiting for arrival.

hopefully it does much better than a Lenser P7 or Terralux 300.

Or a bad switch...? I had a light that always flickered when turning it off, changed the switch I have never seen that issues after that. Of course, prior to changing the switch ,I checked if everything is clean and properly screwed etc.

Actually I have some occasional flickering on my 4Sevens Quark AA2, which I not looked into very much, I only cleaned the threads but nothing changed.
