XM-L T6 NW 1x18650 two group 3/5 mode Xiaozhi flashlight

want me to check mine? I’ve never had an issue with the spacing

Sure gords. Tailcap readings on Low-Med-High and general comparison of beam brightness between them (high to med esp.). No need to pop the driver out.

Yeah it’s not a bad light at all garry. I didn’t notice spacing was off, but barely used it so better to hear from Gords probly.

C'mon gords! What's taking you so long! :)

-Garry

napping in his van? :stuck_out_tongue:

He probably had to excuse himself from the dinner table (what time is it over there?) to go out to his van where his tools are to work out there. :)

EDIT - Ah, your only 4 hours ahead of me (dinner time). For some reason I was thinking England was 6 hours ahead of my time zone.

-Garry

I had to pull up, get james’ s passport sorted and do some shopping.

its difficult taking tailcap readings doing 70mph when your meters in the back of the van……

anyway

2.79
1.35
.11

difference is noticable between modes.

it does get warm on high but as I keep mime memory low, its been no issue as low covers 90% of tasks.

TomE got some good test results on his with it scoring highest lumens of the edc lights he tested.

Both myself and Jack the clipper cannot recommend this light enough.

And JacktheClipper will be buying this light fairly quickly if no one jumps on it .

Ok, so that computes to 100% -> 48% -> 4%. Good enough.

Back off Jack! :)

PM incoming.

-Garry

excuses excuses Gords! :wink:

PM sent Garry.

Sorry Jack, if he backs out its yours.

commission? :bigsmile:

Your efforts were much appreciated! Thank you! Think of doing it "for the good of the BLF community".

-Garry

checks in the mail govnah!

{not really, sorry}

oh well, was worth an ask.

seriously Gary, you wont be disappointed in this little light, its nothing short if awesome.

This is the easily-programmable one, yes? I’ve been tempted to get one so I can play with its firmware… and maybe mount it in a custom-made water fountain for use as a strobe light.

I’m kinda thinking of doing a scaled-down indoor version of this, using a strobe light instead of a fast camera exposure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENITui5_jU

However, it’d also be fun to just have a handheld adjustable strobe light. I’d probably need an electronic switch so I could more easily adjust the flash rate though, so this host wouldn’t work well for that purpose. Perhaps a UF-T50 or Fandyfire Rook would be re-flashable?

Just received this light today! Haterade shipped 'er out on Saturday - pretty darn fast shipping! I'm at work and haven't lit 'er up yet, but the build quality is really really good. It's fatter than I expected. Will be comparing it to my UF2100 (for size). Got the clip coming from FastTech to add to it (and I might have added about $20 worth of extras along with the clip :) ).

Thanks Haterade!
-Garry

yes gary please compare it with the 2100, i hope you have the e1320 so its a better comparison. do you have the hd 2011 or s2/3 to compare also?

No S2 or S3, just an E1320 3.5A UF2100.

-Garry

Ok just did a quick comparison to my UF2100 with OP reflector. This one is an all around nicer quality. Tint is much much nicer. The UF2100 looks purple next to it. However the OP reflector gives the UF2100 a much nicer smoother beam. This one has a definite hotspot with a little throw to it, whereas the UF2100's beam is spread out a lot more with a hardly noticeable transition to spill.

Size-wise its not much fatter than the UF2100 (barely at all). It is quite a bit shorter.

Is there an OP reflector available for this one? I'll probably at least spray it with clear coat.

-Garry

My XIAOZHI has an OP reflector .

I think read in another thread that the XIAO- has an 18 degree reflector while the S3 has a 20 degree ...?
