This'll be a sweet and short review of the UltraFire WF-606A. This light arrived two weeks after ordering from FastTech without and hitches or hiccups.
This light closely resembles the 2xAA Maglite Mini, with its slim form factor. I especially like the grey body color.
In stock, the light wasn't too bright, so I shorted the current sense resistors in the driver and the tailcap current draw increased to 2.6A with a freshly charged pair of Eneloop cells. Quite impressive!
Photo montage:
Shortie configuration:
The little cell pictured is an RCR123 (not a CR2), which is NOT compatible with the light, only shown for a size comparison.
Note that I applied some cheap thermal grease on the pill:
Beam profile:
The reflector has a nice OP, and consequently produces a smooth beam profile. One downside would be that this light isn't forward clicky, even thought there is one mode.
Overall, this is a great light for the price and with a small tweak, can produce lots of light in a small package.
