NEW !! See last post on Driver Issue: Response from T-Mart HD2010..The Good & The Bad.

Mine came exactly as yours. Minus the white dust...LOL

No damage to item though.

I guess I’m one of the lucky one got one in a regular white box not crushed and with East-092 driver… but then again maybe because it’s Tangsfire… same driver as in their C8 :smiley:
I have another one coming and hopefully it comes with XM-L2 :stuck_out_tongue:

The T-Mart Tangsfire I received earlier had the correct driver.

The T-Mart unmarked "No-Name" no such luck. Crap Driver.

I included a link to this thread for Mr Louis Huang.

I'm hoping to get only the driver that made the HD2010 desirable & a BLF favorite, that's all.

Dunno. Will see I guess.

With all that being said I’m still happy with the purchase. Got an xml2 and a good host from it. And it was bought with the intention of modding anyway. Just wasn’t so lucky with the driver but its not a big deal to swap it out.

have you tried the pencil trick on the capacitor, to see if you can remove the next mode memory?

I forgot all about the pencil trick. I just tried it on my C8 and it worked great. No more mode memory. I can still cycle through the modes, but is I turn it off for more than a split second, it comes back on in high. Perfect!

Pencil trick?

For those of you who got the wrong driver or got the right driver, but it is faulty, or only does low amps, please PM me.

In your PM to me, include the following:

  1. Order number
  2. Date you ordered
  3. Date you received it
  4. Exactly what the problem is (Example:) " My light will only put out 1 amp on high, with the East092 driver." OR "My driver was not an East092 driver, it was an XXXX driver (include the numbers on the driver if you can)"

According to my contact, a replacement light or money back can be done.

For those of you that have some other issue, then PM me and I will see what I can do.

I don't have another driver. Will have to PURCHASE ONE. That's my whole point.

I hope I get the "bad light" with the XM-L2. More usable parts IMO.

Either way, not a big deal. Im used to playing the Chinese lottery every time I buy a Chinese "fire" light or similar..

Thanks for your support. I hope you get the "bad driver" too.

I also got the “bad light”, non-DD low A driver with noise/pwm on high, without XML2, and no plastic ring around the LED (pre-smashed box of course, but so what)…I think any/all variations were possible.

Thanks OL for the follow up. But in all honesty, does this mean someone at TMart will cover this, or are you just going to hide the fact you will make good on peoples woes? As thats the Chinese lottery, we all know it, or should. Its not your responsibility if we all roll the dice and some of come up craps?

I have no idea what driver I got, as yet I cant get it out. I dont have a pair of circlip pliers small enough. Not even will the edge of a pair of little pliers from my mini set hold the notch.

Mine (no name) arrived in the same physical condition except the dust and I got a sleeve of bubble wrap, long enough to cover the length of the light, but not the lens lol. And yes, the tail cap was at the closed bottom of the bubble wrap sleeve, not the lens. Crushed white box, in a thin plastic bag, but as someone else stated, no damage that Ive noticed yet.

But you know, less than $30, delivered. I wasnt expecting foam padding. And I planned this as my first mod, with XML2, so was going to change everything but the host, switch (OL says they can handle it so Ill smoke test it) and reflector. Even the lens is in for an upgrade if I can get an AR one.

Try using scissors!

Sharp idea that one. It might work, but I aint gonna find out. Im off to town to get myself some smaller circlip pliers… and a coffee.

Edit:I ended up getting it out with a fine(ish) point head punch. They are hard to realign without cross threading. Mine is a really dark blue, not green, so what did I get?

Edit 2: I like this new monitor. Im going to photograph everything i need to inspect now, just loaded up a pic of the driver, and clear as a bell, East 092.

so sorry about what you said.

We are discussing with manufacturers.

Please help me tell other members who dont received right flashlight. we will resend the right flashlight with East-092 or return money.

Thank you very much

So how do I go about asking for the refund or getting the correct light sent. Just PM louis huang?

I just mine yesterday. Same no-name light as you.

If you haven't already, please respond to Old-Lumens post #137 in the following thread.

That driver looks exactly the same with this 2-mode direct drive driver from FastTech. :~

Anyway I still haven’t got mine and I hope it will have the correct driver in it. :slight_smile:

You are correct Sir. It has the same number as the one I posted.
