Deal alert Trustfire 3xT6 $25 amazon

LED’s are in parralel, DRY is in series.

I just upped the current in mine to 9 amps :stuck_out_tongue:

Really? There must be more than one setup then, because I did mine a long time ago with a dry and had no problems at all. Thanks for posting that.

Nice find. Thanks for reporting it.

I still use mine. It's a great workhorse. The original driver in these lights (not all have it anymore) is a very special driver. You can use 1 to 3 cells and resister mod for higher current. With the good memory, you don't have to cycle through the other modes unless you want to change modes. With the tube extension (looks like this doesn't include it), you can run the light on 4 AA Eneloops just fine.

If I had to chose one light to keep, I would seriously consider the TR-3T6 with the original 3T6 driver and the extension tube.

Now that you say that, if this deal did include the tube, I’d be clicking ‘Buy’ right now. :frowning: I received a Costco AA eneloop package recently and have been looking for something inexpensive to use them in.

I’ve been watching the 3*LED drop-ins and haven’t found them much cheaper than this light. It’s even cheaper if you are willing to gamble on 88% feedback vendor. :Sp

Nice thing about this one is it’s fulfilled by Amazon so it’s in their warehouse. And if you don’t like it they will let you send it back and pay for the shipping and everything. I bought a cyclops that came in and didn’t work right, they sent UPS to pick it up the next day and refunded my money in about a week. Didn’t cost me a dime.

I will receive mine tomorrow. Ill let you know what it turns out to be.

Cool

I have Amazon Prime so I went ahead with the purchase. I have wanted one of these fro awhile but never did get one. I suck a modding so If it's not a 'Good' one with the proper driver I want to be able to send it back!

nice ill be checking back on this thread

Yes it is a good one! Mine is almost flawless in finish. Double O rings, Dry, but all there.Glass lens no prints or chips. I cannot seem to get to the driver but it is nicely built. Mine came with an extension so I am using 3 Panasonic protected 18650's. Heats up noticeably on High after a minute.

Nice that is a great light that price well it’s a great light anyway. Glad you got a good one.

How much do these usually go for?

Congrats bikenber73. You should be able to use one of the tubes by itself to hold just one cell. See if it works that way. In stubby mode, it's not much bigger than a C8.

Lightmalls has been selling them with the extension tube for $31.50 for a long time. That's where I got mine.

EDIT: I think they charge shipping below a certain amount.

Oh reeeeeally??? Hmmm….

For $29 it could be here tomorrow…. 8)

How are the LEDs mounted? It would be nice if you could swap to 3 noctigons or something

The tube that screws into the head is longer than an 18650, so 1 is not an option.

Leds are mounted like in a SRK and lots of other similar type lights.

-Get driver circuit out.

-Unscrew the bezel and take out lens.

-Unscrew the screw holding reflector

-Then you have access to the emitters. MCPCBs are normally 16mm (the stock ones might be quite stuck though).

That’s why God gave us hammers and chisels. :wink:
