New single emitter 4x18650 light at DX (APEX 5T6 lookalike)

I sure wish the head was as wide as it looks like it should be. At only 70mm it's only a tad wider than an HD2010. So much potential with just a few changes!

Whoa! 70mm head, single emitter deep reflector, easy 10x7135 Nanjg swap!

Oh oh wait… butt electronic switch… phew, lucky break for my wallet. That was close :stuck_out_tongue:

No. A normal clicky switch. Please continue.. ;)

@ pulsar13: Where is the electronic switch? I cannot see it.

And to the guys who wants a bigger head? So do I. But the cost would take it completely out of my league price vise. @ 50 it could be the best poor mans thrower ever when considering that it is 4p1s battery setup which means I can put older, more cycled cells in this light rather than also having to splurge on 4 new batteries as well.

Wondering about this for a MT-G2 … CW should come out soon…

Capital idea, my good chap!! :smiley:

interesting… if it was 4p1s i would be interested in building a runtime hog… im sure it could be converted

We can't really tell for sure if it's 4S1P or 2S2P can we? DX specs says 8.4v, but you can't trust that.

I’ve been waiting for this! Now how lift the current flashlight embargo……

if 4p, would need to mod battery config or find a 3A+ boost driver. Aside from big money for a taskled driver, there is not such beast afaik.

From aliexpress I can see it is parallel battery config. 4P1S.

That was my hunch.

EDIT - this must be the photo you saw:

Yessir! Just couldn't get the dang photo link to work and lost my patience :-)

That (4p) with an electronic switch on the side… I’d buy it instantly and swap the driver.

I know what you mean, some of these sites make it darn difficult to figure out their photo links! I've learned a few tricks recently.

You sure must have. Thank you by the way. It was kind of you to do that :-)

I think you guys are right… that’s probably a normal clicky switch, which is reasonable since listed current rating is only 1.8A.

Unmodded, this will be a spectacularly underperforming light for the price. But of course - it’s the modding potential that hooks. Wonder who’ll cave in first.

You can probably count on it being the normal 5 mode driver with pseudo-direct drive on high, somewhere around 2.5A

4.5a xp-g2 on sinkpad, awesome thrower. 8)

Good for folks that need the extra run time, I guess...
