26650 tube light that's not an a8

Damm you Gary……. ordered, less than a tenner, I’ll do an ebay round up I guess :bigsmile:

Flo, the cheapy is what’s being replaced, do NOT buy one unless you have an inclination to self flagellation…… :bigsmile:

I should have been clearer, the tube light was an accident, my prefeeence is for 30 - 40mm reflectors.

The give away is likely to be one of the two lights I ordered.

Must order some more xm-l 4c’s as its my favorite tint at the moment :bigsmile:

No, No, that is a Zoomie, I bought one — not a flat lens flashlight!

Thanks for the link ol, a quick browse and this caught my eye :bigsmile:

You sure? Because I just bought one too and the pictures look like a reflector to me…

It worked for me, but I know how to translate your Ebay Mobile links to “real” links :slight_smile: . I also had to find one that shipped to USA. My only thought on your link was that it seemed like too cheap build quality, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, it was hard to tell if it had a driver retaining ring or not. Get it and post up the build :) .

P.S. - I'm good at spending your money aren't I?

subscribed to this thread… im interested in that host at that price if you can easily mod it :slight_smile:

I’m not seeing the m10 beaten at this price point, if I didn’t have an m10 already, that’s the one to buy, tube wise the a8 is the same.

But I’ve spent less than I would on a steak for these two and I feel we need to redress the BUDGET in budget light forum :expressionless:

Gords, I have to ask - why cant you use an A8? It is arguably the best built 26650 light made for any price. Easy to mod, built like NASA engineered it, rock solid with a beautiful, durable haIII finish. :~

Thats a good looking light you posted gords

It states that is a SMALL SUN ZY-T03

Because I already have a blf a8 :slight_smile:

I actually wanted something in the m10 range, , just that tube light was cheap enough to justify a punt on. Both lights cost less than one a8, and I’ve seen nothing on either, you never know, it may be a diamond in the rough, I doubt it, but it was worth a look. :bigsmile:

Yes, I avoided googling it as it would likely result in another reason for mrs gords to fall out with me….but please feel free to look on my behalf…… :bigsmile:

[Rolls eyes]

Your are right, Gords, (as always). Yep, I bought a Giveaway torch from easebon (same seller) and it was a Zoomie. But, after examining the link posted, it is not the same as the Zoomie I bought, and I also believe, now, that this is a regular flat lens torch, sorry, next time I will not try to jump the shark… :bigsmile:

Gords, I’ve always had an eye for the light. Reminds me of my Skyray 856. I figured it would be underdriven, but should be a very easy driver mode. I may still get one.

Hi Gords, the clone you have is the JM05 not the JM07, just saying.

Fasttech do have a light very similar to the JM07, I wouldn’t call it a clone though:

Pretty much same dimensions as the JM07, 41mm head diameter. A lot more expensive at International outdoors:

I’ve also held the PAlights in hand in store, the anodising and knurling is top knotch. Held against my Nitecore MT26 (not the quad beast) I couldn’t tell the difference in quality, they were very nice lights:

Hey Gords
What was your opinion of the UF-2200 ?

Flo, no worries :bigsmile:

Richie I was wondering the same thing, the one I saw looked to be single cell though which was what had me interested.

Who killed jr, I thought the jm05 was two cell, jm07 single cell? I have called it both on occasion but is a poor copy of the original. :expressionless:

Suncoaster, I like the uf-2200, nearly pulled the trigger too. Just wanted to try some left field options. Johnnymac reviewed this light I think, but I cant find the review at the moment :~

The JM05 from memory also had a slightly larger reflector than the JM07.

Well, both lights were marked as dispatched as of 8.30 gords mean time :bigsmile: guess I’ll fond out if their any good in a month.
