They are sold NOWHERE else If you don’t live in China/Japan, you can’t buy from taobao
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?
Is the lens glass or plastic? If it’s glass unfortunately I think I might have to buy one!
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.
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.
these lights all suffer from a long focal length lens (thin) that makes a tiny hotspot, while the Uniquefire UF-T20 has a much shorter focal length lens (thick, curved) that gives a much bigger hotspot, with the same throw (in other words: more output without loosing throw).
The UF-T20 is still not a 26650 utilizer or with 2 batteries in series especially, this seems especially tempting for MTG2 use…
I searched the model to see what you were talking about and found there happens to be a Wallbuys group buy for the UFT20 in effect, a screw focus instead of push/pull, I had thought about it before but $17.50 is more tempting… WallBuys.com is for sale | HugeDomains
I don’t think you will be happy with the MT-G2 beam with an aspheric lens. I have tried a few different lenses on MT-G2’s and never really found one I liked at all.
I do like zoomies and if I could pick this one up cheap enough I would.
What is it you didn’t like exactly? Beam collimation, output? You have much more experience in anything like this I’m glad for your input/advice
I do like this even as a zoomie too, especially for around $30, with a reflector/large head and using 1-2 26650s anyways though. I just figured the amount of metal for heat sink, head size, reflector and rare 2x26650 would be perfect for MT-G2. If not that I’m sure modders would like it to increase power to an XML2.
I always have hope with a zoomie, then I get it and am disappointed, say I’m not going to buy a zoomie again, then later get tempted with another cheap zoomie…
