Hi all Dealmetic last was advertising their xmlT-6 zoomie after we reque sted an xml2 and solid pill .I think they deserve a kudos and I am ordering one to see how other stacked up on old zoomie , any how I’ll paste the link so you all can look at it when you want. http://dealmetic.com/product.asp?ID=FL05518

Zombie? Er…. Check your title

Improved zombie… and what is BLU and its members? Maybe they are like the Umbrella Corp? :wink:

My head hurts, between the title and the light i blew so many brain cells i need a nap

Behavioural light unit?
Waterproofing but not waterproof?
Improved Zombies, eat your brains faster?
Pillow Hole: Solid?

Edit: woke up from brain short circuit caused by this thread and the light’s details, noticed the listing has been changed slightly, it now reads:

Hollow pillow: solid pill

Sorry my darn Samsung s v has a mind of its own thanks for the good catch guys

“Zeusray Soild Pillow Hole 2000 Lumen Zoomable CREE XM-L L2 ”

Is it possible to achieve the 2000 Lumen? What is the tail cap current?

that is one cool looking zoomie. and that is a very good price.
thanks

Sho rid pirrow.

I don’t know I don’t have it yet I’ll order Friday when my. Check hits the bank and of course the lumens are inflated as always and I have absolutely no ties with Dealmetic .Iam just e static that a manufacturer actually listened to our requests ?
Also see : Hollow pillow: solid pill is now ready with XML2 light for 7.99 FREE Ship

These are Sipik SK-73 clones. I modded one, still have another stock one. I'm not too crazy bout the typical zoomie switch in these, like a SK68 clone.

My cost is $11.50 shipped. Shipping fee kind of kills a great deal. FT is cheaper at bout $10: fasttech-sipik-sk73, but of course with a XML and probably hollow pill... I do like these liitle zoomies though, but zoomies look soo much better with a 4C tint I'm finding. The typical XML T6's in these have a strong blue tint.

Yeah what your saying is everyone else’s sentiment is , a great little light but the Shipping kills the deal, I have been emailing dealmetic to see if they can do anything about the shipping , I personally really like the size, it’s much smaller than a sipik 98 and just a hair bigger than my my solarforce L2P.

No longer at $12: This zoomie dhgate SupFire F3 (I got one) is a much better deal for $12 -- solid pill top, XM-L2 included, $12 shipped. Though it's like 50 cents more - wow, much better overall quality. Also great size... Hhmm - I'll post pics this evening, comparing the SK-73, F3, and SK98. I do own a bunch of cheap zoomies Smile. Overall quality is a big step up. I think the F3 is a hot little zoomie right now - wide flood (match's the widest I got), pretty wide lens for the head diam. size (not much waster there), nice slider action, nice finish and feel.

Down sides on the F3:

  • wider body to accommodate triple AAA carrier (included)
  • I'm getting maybe a 25% fluctuation in high mode in lumens - not sure if it's the switch or driver or something else. Not all that surprising - probably seen issues like this in other cheap zoomies
  • switch is the cheaper type (no PC board), but easy to access, unlike the SK73 and clones (sealed assembly like SK68)

Planned on doing a full up review on the F3 but been tied up.

nice to know about the f3.
have you modded any of these yet tom?

Oh, I wish - darn time thing! I'm a bit overwhelmed right now - trying to do too much... My garden is killing what spare time I have. I hate to admit it, but my non-modded lights are vastly outnumbering my modded ones now. Piles of projects - I mean piles...

Sorry to derail this thread on the Dealmetic light - LJ: you are doing the right thing. I recall reading bout this - the vendor made a true commitment to do what we requested. The changes are a definite improvement over the stock light, just wish it could be had for under $10, then it would be quite popular I would think.

what is the tail cap reading of this light and the lens is glass or plastic ?

I have the original Sipik SK73 version of this and modded it some time ago with a copper pill and XM-L2 and 105c.

Mine is DD stock, like an East-092 - hot little zoomie...

i agree, its probably one of my favorite Zoomie lights outside of a SK68, but it does heat up quickly with the 3.04 A / 8-7135 driver in it on high.

If the threads and size of the pill are cloned as in exactly the same, sell the solid pills please.
Even assuming they aren’t going to be copper or even brass, as was hoped.

Here's the mini (I mean brief, like missing a lot of things Smile) review on the SupFire F3, shown with the SK73: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/28084, just not to derail this thread any further...
