REVIEW: A8 BLF Edition - 1x26650 - XM-L T6 NW

Is that UF-2100 driven at 2.8A or 3.5A?

-Garry

Smo vs op reflector then I guess, plus >20mm vs 30mm

When I measured it through the tailcap I got 3.1 amps.

I started to get in on this deal but didn’t. Boy do I regret that decision!

Rey announced in the sales thread that he still has some left. Jump in before its too late!

-Garry

He has at least one less than when he made that announcement. ;)

Well he had 30+ left a few days ago. I'm sure that's come down since.

Gidday Betweenrides, yes I was counting the Z’s :wink: . I haven’t ordered the BLF version, just the original but I too had some tailcap issues, took some messing around to get it too work, not sure what I did. I would assume the BLF version would have the same tailcap? I probably won’t get the BLF version anytime soon, been a bit of a hermit lately and haven’t ordered any new flashlights for 3 months now. Although that’s all going to change in a couple of weeks…… J)

I have to add that I got mine yesterday and I totally love it! Build quality is phenomenal and output is great.

I ordered one the day of the great CPF review and it was shipped by the next day. I’d be surprised if he didn’t have at least a few left.

Can someone please give me a link or do I just pm him?

Oops. Don’t know how I missed that. Thanks for opening my eyes scaru. Lol.

stupid question… how do you guys measure at the tail? ’cos mine is only 1.6 A high :frowning:

I just ordered 2. Thanks garrybunk for the tip.

Might need to fiddle around with the tailcap. Mine at first only gave around 1.3A from it’s first driver the Nanj 6*7135 (around 2.1A). After fiddling it went up to 2.1A. No idea what I did.

My A8 is NW. I can see it change color from a NW tint to something more CW after being on high for a few seconds. This does not happen for the other modes. Is the color change normal?

Lucky it’s going to CW and not green or yellow :bigsmile:

Anyhow, yes, CREE bins their light on lower current. Tints at higher currents are never defined, it’s a bit of a lottery, you just hope they don’t stray too far off the lower-current value.

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

Anyone post what the run time was and with which battery?
Thanks
Tony
