Jacob A60 OUT OF STOCK

Hi

I can tell you that despite be plastic reflectors are excellent!
I have 2 Jacob A60 full mod with xpg2 and xpe2 and 2 are a little above 200 kcds :slight_smile:

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.

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

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

Ah forget the a60 I want the a10 now!

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 :) ?

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

Does it take XHP50?

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?

Thanks for the update n10sivern :slight_smile:
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.

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.

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;

Now this one on the other hand…

I asked about it back in Dec 2013 here;

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

Thanks Keith, I would have guessed it a touch bigger than the C8

same here

Mind that the head diameter of the A60 is 55mm, and the UF-V3/NK10 is 47mm. Assuming that the reflector sizes have he same ratio, the A60 will have 37% more throw based on reflector size alone. And as I understand the A60 had a pretty good quality reflector too (even though it was plastic).

That A10 looks suspiciously like what I used for two years as my "test thrower", a 18 dollar ugly coffee coloured dx-flashlight that has a great performing 49mm reflector, although the reflector opening is large, making leds difficult to center and easily shorts the leads. It is lightweight but it has aluminium where it counts, near the pill. Btw, it is sold out for ages now. They do not like new designs much, over there in China...

After at least six emitter swaps, at the moment it has a dedomed XP-G2 and is making 173 kcd.

That looks like a Trustrfire X9 clone, kinda similar to this;

I have the Small Sun version and it has a great reflector, tight hot spot, good light. Never modded mine.
