I’d pick #2 or #3 :)… Re. #3, it could be this, but maybe they designed it purposely that way, so that when the light is “fully zoomed out” you get a round spot? I don’t know about others, but one of the things that really turned me off to zoomies was having the square beam when fully zoomed out.
Looking forward to reading a review on this light myself as well. This summer's been kind of expensive so I'm cutting back on any non-essential spending, but this light really caught my eye. I don't need another thrower that's brighter than my old 52-mm XR-E Mag-Mod, but the allure is inescapable.
With 2 26650 cells the UF-1405 throws exactly like my crelant G5 with collinator head. Both are stock. It is adjustable and square like the led at full zoom.
Picked it up at Shenzhen homesafety on alibaba for $17.50 plus shipping.
Website says t6 at 2.8 amps
I intend to try a dedomed U2 and boost amps to 5.
I will try to post some pics and beam shots.
that sounds rather impressive to me. i too, may have to give this light a go.
does it look mod friendly?
is it any brighter using 26650’s?
can you link us to the place where you purchased it from?
i cant seem to find it for that price
26650 will last longer and capable of more output but probably depends on driver. I intend to increase driver amps.
Bear with me on photos this is my first attempt to attach.
Crelant and UF side by side.
!!
Beam shots at 100 yd. The crelant on bottom has more yellow and shows more green from tree.
It is very easy to modify. The lens is glass and comes out when you unscrew the top. May have to shake it.
The pill is a reverse thread and screws right out. Center ring and spacer come out. I turned the center ring a few times but not threaded.
Easy acess to driver and star.

I think the driver and star are 16mm I will measure and update.
I will also update future mods.
I am new. Should I put this in a different thread.
They will sell a sample but shipping is minimum of $30.00. You have to buy 3 or more for reasonable shipping rate. Takes 2-3 days to prepare order and 2-3 days to arrive. (don’t include batteries or will take forever) They will sell 3 or 4 different samples. Shipping runs about $5.00 to $10.00 each depending on quantity. Most suppliers on Alibaba.com will do the same. Very easy to join and they take paypal.
Since this is a T6, you may as well got to fast tech and get the upgrade to U2 led with free shipping. The cheaper models have smaller head diameters and may have plastic lens.
Thanks for the pictures, very nice beamshot with the two flashlights side by side! The beamshot indeed shows a very similar throw, with a bit sharper led image it seems (better lens?) from the Crelant. (The Uniquefire is way better looking than the Crelant IMO)
