I have one like or similar to that, that was, the best I can figure, sent to me accidentally. It fills the role of the smallest and lightest 18650 zoomy I have, but I rarely use it because it is ugly.
Cheap way of learning (trying) to mod. Braided the tail cap, put a copper top on the spring, dedomed a xml2, copper sink pad, little arctic sauce, slid in a 25R and viola, little pocket rocket! My first build! (ZeusRay) Ordered 4 of these to perfect my technique, should have ordered 10 of them, my technique needs alot of work!!! :Sp
250 lumens is my guess. I’m sure it’ll be an XPE. Unless it’s really an XML then I’d up it to 450-500 OTF.
It’s pretty good though even if it turns to be XPE. This is a very small 18650 light and fits nicely in glovebox/toolbox, and has reasonably nice beam.
Normally even the cheaper XPE version goes for $1 more than this.
They are too light for high lumens. More battery than aluminum goes with run time not power. An SK-68, similar size, probably has much better heat dissipation, but it won’t run as long.
I ordered on Sept. 22nd, it showed as Acceptance on Sept 25th and was in SC NEW YORK, NY on Sept. 30th and is now in FLUSHING, NY on Oct 1st.
I mean most other vendors can’t even get the tracking # to work for 10 days and this package is in country in 8 days.
Regular China Post.
So the question becomes, are the other guys just sitting on it after they generate a tracking number or do these guys have an inside connection at China Post?
Anyway, I wish they all shipped like this.
I will have these puppies probably by Friday.
Thanks 18sixfifty for the heads up!
I bought just 2, if they are good more will have to be ordered.
I need 6 or so for gifting. Never had a problem with these, they usually terminate at 4.18. I always test them for a few cycles before giving them to be sure, but so far 100% proper charging.
Later,
By chance when I clicked on my product/order I saw a “Transaction #”.
When I clicked that it took me my tracking number. I was never sent a tracking number i guess I got lucky that I figured it out by chance! I have only bought things from China a few times in my early Flasaholicism!!! lol!
I got mine today and they are pretty much what I expected. XP-E emitters. Nice for the price. I’ll probably stick Nichia 219’s on sinkpads in mine along with a nanjg driver.
