Good find, those high res pictures leave me with little doubt that the reflector in that sample is plastic.
Let’s see what is in the one that I actually get, received shipping confirmation today.

So close to buying this - KD specs say AL reflector…. interesting to see what Linus ends up with.
I cannot wait to see a tear down of this light. The UI sounds like an SRK, and if it is, it shouldn’t be too difficult in modding it to get more power out of it.
Confirmed I will be back home on 18 December. I am expecting two of these lights along a plethora of lights, bit and pieces to be waiting for me, ready to play with. I know I am late to modding month, but I will give it a crack in earnest cum December!
Someone should. You guys have been talking about and trying to buy this light for weeks, but it doesn't look like anyone has successfully completed an order.
It won't be me though. My modding queue is way too full. I'm actually considering sending some lights to v54.
I did manage to order it from SW after all… my tracking number suggests it left SG on 18.11.
I will report what’s inside when I get it of course (maybe next week?)
Just caved & ordered from KD - was hoping for a more reputable supplier, but at least they use PayPal.
……Order Status: Back-ordered
Mine should be on the way from the wholeseller too, tracking says despatched to overseas so hopefully it won’t be too long.
Great to see kaidomain stock it, price seems fairly decent too.
Fingers crossed I do indeed get an aluminium reflector in mine, will report as soon as I get it but I suspect others will get theirs before I do.
Cheers
Here’s one on ebay with some nice pictures.
And Willbuying has one too with some more pictures.
I’m really liking the look of this light more and more.
I freakin’ love that thick handle to wide head look. Makes it look like a freakin’ BEAST. Eagerly awaiting a tear down.
nice looking light,will add it to my wishlist
I just contacted a supplier to get more information on the reflector, lens and amp draws if possible. Might be a good light for a group buy. If I get any reasonable response, I will let you know.
Nice! I ordered it (not from that site, didn’t support PayPal, I found that company on Alibaba and they took paypal). Got it shipped right to Vinh so we’ll see what he can squeeze out of it with 6 x 18650’s inside her! Should be sweet
They also some INSANE laser pointers, great price too (if the specs are correct): This product is no longer available.
Thanks.

was the price any cheaper? just so you know, szobm is the oem behind sz-wholesale, they are the same company. and like many have said, they will send a proforma invoice and PP address after you have placed the order…
I ordered COURUI from KD. It was shipped next day, and tracking now shows it in HongKong for processing.
It’s finally here
Working on putting together a first look and teardown thread right away.
I haven’t taken it apart fully yet but so far I’m really pleased with the machining and feel of the light. It’s solid and feels great in the hand.
A few observations. (from the outside only + front bezel screwed off to check on reflector and lens)
Will tear it apart and post a detailed thread on it by the end of the day.
Cheers
Thanks LinusHofmann for detail :bigsmile:
Thanks for the first impressions! Can’t wait for the detailed overview.
Sounds like a supurb host.
Can’t wait.
First impressions are very good on this as a host for modding. Definitely!
The reflector is gorgeous, probably the most flawless aluminium reflector I’ve seen in a budget light. Very nice indeed.
Just noticed a bit of output wavering/flickering on high and low though, probably a bad ground contact somewhere inside.
Perfect excuse to crack it open and take a closer look at the insides methinks
Ok I posted a fairly fast teardown thread. HERE
Felt it was most appropriate to put it in the Modding section since it would mostly be of interest as a host for modders but maybe I’ll move it to the reviews section once I’ve done some more detailed testing.
Looking forward to seeing reports from those that bought theirs from KD.
Cheers
