Jacob A60 OUT OF STOCK

[cajampa]

It looks a little wider in the pictures but according to the specs both the A60 & T10 have an 55.6mm bezel.

But i hope the specs are wrong & they have cloned the Javelot and if not i hope they do.

[luminarium_iaculator]

If so. Jing Ge A60 looks better.

Yes on pictures it really looks like it have wider reflector? Anyway where to buy it?

[djozz]

And is the reflector aluminium instead of the plastic one used in the Jacob? (this is emotion I admit, plastic reflectors are actually fine)

[downlinx]

Need to find a seller for those A10’s

I was wondering about this. Is there anybody here that has experience with both the Al and plastic reflectored A60s? Is there a noticeable difference in beam intensity or quality? Lumen output? I’m scared of plastic reflectors as my experience with the last three has been awful. I don’t own an A60 and really want one, but if the reflectors are junk now I’ll have to just keep an eye on the FS ads and find an old goodie.

Hi

I searched and found a place that appears to sell it. I’ve never bought from them nor heard of them before this search.

I tried to contact the manufacturer about the a10 but my email was returned

Ugliest beam photograph I’ve ever seen on that page.

There are a bunch of “air …” resellers.

[luminarium_iaculator]

Still nothing... It seems that ali is only source.

[ReyLight]

I contacted the ali seller, no reply. I'm trying to get one.

[n10sivern]

Ah forget the a60 I want the a10 now!

[luminarium_iaculator]

When I look pictures it seems that A10 has shorter(but wider) reflector than good old A60?

n10sivern thanks for UF1504 but if you'll manage to find please post us link or 2 for good old Jacob or A10.

Or group buy if you want :) ?

[downlinx]

I did see this Ultrafire NK10 while looking for reflectors, just can’t source it to buy one.

[ReyLight]

Does it take XHP50?

[n10sivern]

According to Gearbest the A60 is no longer being produced by anybody they know. The Jing Ge one may just be left overs as I think that company is no longer in business.

I did re-find the forgotten UF-V3. It is similar. I may order one to try out and see. It is another older light like the A60. A little more expensive, but could possibly be a replacement. The head on the V3 is 47mm and the reflector is aluminum.

Uniquefire website UF-V3
Kaidomain UF-V3 Anybody have a coupon?

[cajampa]

Thanks for the update n10sivern
To bad the A10 isn’t made anymore.

Hmm maybe we could get a GB going for a Olight Javelot Host going.

Those cost way more as a complete light than i want to spend, when i just are going rip it apart and change the whole light engine anyway.

And in that size so far i don’t think anything beats its potential.

[n10sivern]

Hey guys, if you take a look at the UF-V3 I posted you will see that the Ultrafire NK10 is a clone of the Uniquefire. I’m pretty sure Uniquefire had theirs first, plus they generally have better quality than Ultrafire’s.

[Muto]

Have 3 of them, 2 XML and one XP-E (Dongrui), very lightweight and they throw well for the size, but they are smaller reflector than a regular C8 and are surely no replacement for an A60.
Another name for this light was Dongrui All-920, Garrybunk did a nice review here;

Dongrui All-920

So I bought this Dongrui All-920 (Q5) to use it as a mod host with an XP-G based on VFMaddict's posting about it. I received the light yesterday and have tested it out briefly. The light is pretty nice quality, although the battery tube is very very thin. It has double o-rings at the tailcap, space for double o-rings at the top (only came with 1), GITD o-ring in the bezel, GITD tailcap (I assume, but it hasn't glowed for me yet), a nice deep smooth reflector, and does not tailstand due to the…

Now this one on the other hand…

I asked about it back in Dec 2013 here;

Jacob A60's big brother?

Check this one out and see if you don’t agree that it looks a lot like the A60, but with different cuts in the head. http://www.aurabuy.com/brinyte-s28-02-cree-xml-u2-860-lumens-5-mode-led-flashlight-1-x-18650-black.html Sports a U2 emitter. Size quoted seems awful close and we know from experience that the sizes are often off a little. Price is definetley too high, needs to come down like by half. But very interesting, be nice if they sold the reflector by itself:) Later, Keith

Gord’s never did a review, but it looks like dang near the same light but with an XM-L
