Olight Factory Dedomed Light?

I totally destroyed the stock XM-L2 in my Courui D01 I bought from Gearbest recently. I was trying to squeeze the dome off. No heat, no gasoline. I thought I’d be cool and just rip it off the top. Obviously, that didn’t work, but it was fun trying! Large chunks of the phosphor coating stuck to the dome. I never did find the bond wires. I couldn’t see them on the die, nor on the bottom of the dome. I never thought silicone could stick so well to anything! Well, it was stuck good to that XM-L2 die! Maybe next time, I’ll try gasoline.

Trial by Fire? :slight_smile:

I killed about 8 of the little buggers trying to hot rod my TK61… fried crispy critturs.

10 to 1, they are buying the leds from Cree with no dome. After all, for Cree, it would be cheaper. They wouldn't have to put the domes on, so it would save them money and the would probably charge an extra fee for not putting them on. I think you have to at least buy a full reel, to get Cree to even answer you. Probably more than a full reel, so Olight will probably have de-domed leds for the next ten years or so.

Personally, I could care less. Never been interested in a small spot of light that reaches out way farther than my old decrepit eyes can see. More than about 50 yards and I can't see anything anyhow.

I agree. Makes me want a de-domed light now, especially when they can be sold in a light with warranty intact.

I’m interested did they adjust the reflector for dedomed LED. I’ve tried almost everything with Jacob A60 reflector and dedomed xm-l2, but didn’t manage to avoid bright ring around hotspot. I realy love compact A60, and it’s ability to throw far, great for hunting.

This light shows to be available at Banggood for $119 as of now.

Not really:“Expected restock on 17th November 2014”

lol It didn't say that about 10 minutes ago, but if Calvin has them I will buy from him.

Great, then you will be the one to answer couple question.

yeah it loks like a jacob A-60 ..

So now the name brand lights are copying the aftermarket designs ?

crazy !!!

Jacob is a copy of Solarforce m8

In my opinion interrupting the manufacturing process is no small task. I would imagine they would need to order maybe 100 or 1000 reels for CREE to take any special interest.

Generally we won't get them as fast as China since they're next door. We do expect them in 1-1.5 weeks as our current estimate, just in time for Black Friday deals.

Likely due to the success and superior throw ability of the Jacobs A60, that has not really seen a single-18650 competitor to it yet for throw in stock form.

Given the bent bondwire in the pic, I think dedomed (as mentioned before) with a proper solvent. I personally don’t think cree would sell un domed LEDs to anyone. If however they are, its only a matter of time before Hank or aliexpress gets hold of some.

Well, I have one on the way so should be able to tell more about it before long. :wink:

This light is already on ebay. I think it has to be factory de-dome. This may be my light expense for 2015.

I don’t think Banggood could come close to matching Illumn in many ways,price and customer service.

That is one ugly flashlight! I’ll wait until they get a de-domed emitter into a better looking host.

What is so ugly about it?!!

If you want a lot of throw in a smaller light the head is most likely going to be bigger!

People say that about my TK75vn KT,the thing is unbelievable,I am not worried about what it looks like,especially in the dark!
