can’t wait to see the actual light,thanks before krono since i never owning a HD2010 before this M12 seems a winner for me if it available with NW tint
The M12 is spec'd at 94 kcd (converting from rated distance), which is awesome for a HD2010 size light in stock form. The AR lens, XM-L2 U2 on copper, and a fine reflector are probably why. I'm guessing it's between 2.5A and 3A stock.
I got one coming with one of the MaxToch 26700 cells, so I'll be posting details/review on it. I really like the HD2010 and Yezl Y3 style lights, so this is very similar, but higher quality, like the other MaxToch's.
I just built up two Y3's at 5.7A and 6.7A max, so I WILL be pushing this light in that neighborhood, eventually. I'll probably go with a FET based driver - will know more details when I get it, how mod friendly it is.
The 26700 really has my curiosity because they seem extremely rare. I see a 4500 mAh rated cell (no name basically) at MeritLine and Amazon, and the old Moli's at 2900 mAh. But a 5000 mAh - dunno, haven't found any yet googling.
Ooops, updated my post above. All these cells have their sizes in the model 26650 means 26mm width, 65.0 mm length. So a 26700 is 26mm width (same as a KK), but longer than a KK. I have one Moli 26700, and width wise it fits in all 26650 tubes, but it's too long to use in any 26650 light I have. It's longer than a TrustFire 5000 26650.
One Y3 is a full mod: domed XM-L2 U2 1A on Noctigon, UCLp lens, FET modified Nanjg, stripped stock driver as contact board, and my new custom e-switch firmware with moonlight, long hold to strobe from anywhere, etc... This light I tested at 5.70A on a LG HE2 or Samsung 20R.
L2 U2 1A on Noctigon, BLF17DD, stripped stock driver as contact board, and my new custom e-switch firmware. Tested this at 6.70A max (LG HE2). I got an extra amp out of this for 3 possible reasons:
BLF17DD board, not a Nanjg board (dunno if any difference in resistance, maybe?)
shorter wire between contact board and driver
possibly better solder point on the contact board - closer, less resistance to the spring
Both lights have spring bypass's, etc. - usual tweaks.
Me too hoping that mudgripz or gadgetman can give us the 2-5 minutes dedoming tutorial for this one. A step by step pics or a video doing it would be better
