26650 46mm head zoomie

well, that ring is not the better thing I’ve seen, but i like it
if you can find a better offer, let me know!!!

Doesn’t look too ringy when zoomed out, nice.

Wonder what the tailcap current is? Would be nice if they drive the LED at 3 amps :slight_smile:

EDIT: Looks like 2.1 amps to the LED, 7135X6 2.1A

I was wondering the same. that reflector should help when zoomed out, but when zoomed in it produces that ring. But i didn’t see the flood pics…

So the model is called B650?

If someone can find me a place to buy that light I’ll pick up a few of them (with extension tubes too please).

Oh BABY, I got this MONSTER today! Flawless build quality, mind blowing bright, has last mode memory (so much better than the ones that are in the NEXT mode every time you turn it on). High, med, low, SOS, random quick strobe. Takes one or two 26650’s (comes with extension tube). Zoomable (smooth buttery stiff action). All threads (head, tail cap, extension tube) were perfectly clean and well lubed. Doesn’t even make a sound when screwing it all together OR even when you slide the head for zoom in/out!!! :smiley:

Purchased from here (through agent http://www.yoybuy.com ): http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19020830239

A pic or two (took them with my cell phone so I apologize in advance):

The head weighs a freakin TON!

where else do they sell these ? i cant read Chinese

They are sold NOWHERE else :frowning: If you don’t live in China/Japan, you can’t buy from taobao :frowning:

You can filter it through google translate and it makes it slightly more readable http://bit.ly/1na3dIX

If you get an asian girlfriend she might be able to help you pick out an item to buy and have it shipped to their family in China who will then re-ship it to you, or you can use an agent like I did ( http://yoybuy.com ).

Good luck man. I’m SUPER impressed with this light.

Looks similar to the tulip shaped head ones that you find on ebay sometimes (most of them that say 26650 lie but there are some out there, I got two), but with a reflector and less blue in the beam, nice. If they aren’t too expensive, maybe a group buy could work? Especially if they take an extension for 2x26650 and maybe….possible MTG2 fits? :slight_smile:

What was the total price USD?

Can you take a pic with the extension on?

Is the lens glass or plastic? If it’s glass unfortunately I think I might have to buy one! :stuck_out_tongue:

Have you pulled it apart yet and taken any measurements of driver space etc? I wouldn’t mind putting an MT-G2 in one if there is room for an adequate driver.

It’s glass :slight_smile: I think that’s why the head weighs so freakin much. Not taking the head apart yet :wink: lol.

I believe the total price was $50 USD including the re-shipping to me by Airmail Express (there may have been cheaper options).

It got from Taobao to Yoybuy in 2 days and Yoybuy ordered it the same day I gave them my credit card number. Super impressed with their service.

I agree, a group buy is in order!

Nothing happens when I lick my screen?

You must have a popup blocker :wink: lol.

Please set up a GB :slight_smile:

Thanks for the pictures!

$50 is a bit too rich for me :frowning: even though it does look very nice

I see yoybuy.com has updated their website so when you paste a taobao link into the shopping cart it translates some of it into english, nice!

The direct “english” shopping cart link for this flashlight is http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/19020830239/

I’m not sure if you need an account/be signed in for that link to work. If you pick “flashlight with extended barrel” that’s the flashlight with the extension tube, should be $30.25.

i will email few vendors in china to see if they will buy few for me and see how it goes

46mm is the bezel diameter, I guess the lens diameter would be same with the T20 give or take.

This might be a reasonable alternative. It’s a 48mm bezel, so the lens diameter will be similar.
