Well I was thinking it was safe to do so. If not, then by all means don't do it.
Yes sir. And if I posted something unsafe please fix it. The last thing I would want is for someone to hurt themself.
Hi there ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS, no worries, I'm not accusing you of posting anything unsafe. I just wanted to remove the link to Lightmalls, since that draws unwanted attention by spammers.
And as always I appreciate the way you go about running this place. Your very courteous.
If I would have been on the other darkside forum, I may have got banned. Well you know what I mean.
You may well be able to run 3 x 18650’s in the TR-3T6 2 x 18650 model but I would not suggest it untill it’s been tryed and tested for long runs cause just incase it’s not able to run 3 x 18650 you have will have people with none working lights that payed more then needed to save a few days shipping that are pisses off, then a good torch will get bad publicity.
I would wait till it’s been tryed and tested first and run 3 x 18650 in the 2 x 18650’s at your own risk I don’t want my post to be the go ahead for people to do it just incase in does not work.
It might work they might be the same driver but don’t go off my post # 63 as I was using a different model the 3 x 18650 and if some one wants to give me $5.80 usd I will test mine to see if it runs off 4 or 5 18650,s for a laugh
Thanks for the info. I know I run 3 18650's in my TR-1200 and Keygos X6 XR-E Q5 light. I don't really know if it is safe to do so, but I haven't had any issues. I ran the Keygos the other day for 1hr and 15 min on high with 3 Trustfire flame 18650's before I turned it off. It was still running very bright for the beam, but the head of the light was getting hot so I shut it down. But heck the head on my Keygos KE-5 single 18650 gets reallly hot. Not a lot of difference.
The TR-1200 is a 12.6v max 2 x 18650 or 3 x 18650 torch so it is fine to run it on 3 x 18650,s I do with mine all the time with constant on high runs up to 1.5 hours, but not all torches will do it, I was not having a go at you I just didn’t want my post to be responsible if people’s torches drivers melted, there is a 3 x 18650 model of the TR-3T6 that’s been tryed and test if people want the extra run time and want to play it safe.
The good thing about TF-3T6 is that the drivers are easily available too (you might want to stock up 1 if you find that the light suits you). Tailcap also compatible.
The bezel, tail cap and switch, o-rings glass lense and extention tubes from the TR-1200 fit the TR-3T6 so you can pretty much fully rebuild the TR-3T6 and the empty TR-1200 host are around 13 bucks shipped.
It’s all in my TR-3T6 thread
Yea!!
I was so excited waiting for this light to come in. My first 3xXML light and lo and behold its a fake. Dang ebay, I knew it was to good to be true. Oh well Manafont here I come! :p
The biggest give away is when I put in the CK 3100s and fired it up to a very underwhelming beam of maybe 700 lumens on high. Drop-in screws into the bezel and not the head. Tail cap draw of 1.78A on high 1.20 on medium and .67 on low.
What is the sellers name you bought from?
That's to bad, I had ordered one a few days ago. I got mine for 41 bucks shipped
I got one from seller yallstore and I'm very disappointed. It's not the one pictured in the ebay ad. Looks more like the Skyray 3800 but a little shorter and has trouble tailstanding. It's a drop in version. Less bright than my Skyray 3800.
yallstore now has sold 28 fake lights going from the link 
maybe if people dont want a fake and dont mind waiting a few days more for shipping have a look at this link

Yup, Yall Store, same $41 shipped. Blah, this thing very disappointing. :( Massive sag, on the order of 200 to 300 lumens in the first 3 minutes, starting at maaaaybe 700 lumens. Even doing the usual heatsinking and thermal paste did absolutely no good, waste of thermal paste. Oh well, on to the next light.
The TK70 is looking very tempting now. Anyone know where I can get 1 for around 40 bucks? :p
KD also sell a 3 x xml with the drop in thats screws into the bezel not the head...
Well if you think you got a item not as described and you don't file a dispute and escalate it to a claim then that is on you. I would contact the seller first and tell him this is what you are going to do. There shouldn't be any excuse to be hooked off ebay anymore. Paypal has protected me and sided with me lately anyway. I did get screwed years ago for almost $300. I got no help from ebay or paypal. But now they are a lot better and you are protected from bad sellers. Use their services. You will see I am right.
if the seller does not help as he will say thats how i got them how would i know and im dont think they will send them all back to the suplier and reship the geniune lights and you make a paypal claim they will make you send it back and provide a tracking number so either way you will be out of pocket..... and some time, this will realy hurt international buyers as you will find it will cost to much to return... oftern alot more then you payed for shipping i think some sellers relie on this.
an unproven link worked well once again in the quest to save a few more bucks 28 have been sold this thread bosted alot of there sales of a fake, so any one who did not get a geniune Trustfire TR-3T6 2 x 18650 i would leave negitive feedback of some sort stating they are not geniune to ward off any more sales it might help others not make the same mistake ?
most stuff on ebay is cheap or cheap copies and or drop shipped i do use ebay alot for brand name rc items or connectors to make my own leads and charging box,s or clear 18650 box,s for storage, but the last 5 or 6 torch related items ive been realy disapointed with the items and ive had to settle with the seller for partial refunds as if i make a paypal claim, they make you return the items and return international postage is just a killer, for local buyers it will be cheaper just take some time to complete the process.
just my thoughts
Nope. If item isn't as described, and you escalate dispute to a claim and paypal sides in your favor then it is up to paypal if they choose to ship the item back in which they won't overseas and they pick up the shipping charges. They give you your money back in your paypal account and they get their money back from the seller that you sent payment too. If seller doesn't agree to pay them back in so many days then paypal automatically deducts it from their account. If they try and close their account then paypal will watch for this and then grab it from their account beforehand. They will get their money back one way or the other. That is part of the fine little print and restrictions that they have.
And you probably will get to keep the item. I have done this before on items not as described and bought overseas.
