Mine is still left unopened. Maybe at first I twisted it in a wrong direction, it's too tight to open now.
Seller told me to fix the LED base,and twist the body anticlockwise.
I will go to the factory and use a bigger vise to try. Scratches are unavoidable.
Post pictures if you get it open.
Another tri-color XP-E variant.
Did your flashlight get soaked or is it just happy to see me? :crown:
It is not my light, just an over-processed advertising image :)

Gearbest has now XML2 as well.
xml version is $16.99
I think it looks rather good for a zoomie.
It seems that zoomie boom happened and I see a lot of people that swore only on reflector lights buying them... :)
Hit it on the head.
I lurked here for about 2 years and joined up almost 3 years ago and at that time Zoomies were considered a “Toy, passing Fad, good for entertainment only” by the majority of members of stature.
Now given, a lot of those people have moved on, but now it is a Zoomie Lovefest!
Anyway, they’re all good on my book if they make ya happy:)
They also hated 2-3 cell lights because “Ya can’t trust 2 or more batteries in series, it’s the Devil’s Brew”
Then along came MT-G2’s and the like, and all of a sudden, Multiple cells are where it’s at.
Funny that.

Maybe the quality and variety of zombies have changed as well.
Oops... zoomies (auto correction error)
Aspherics are my number one choice since my first days of flashaholism. I would like to see some inventions on this field and not just "slap it with bigger lenses for better performance", and downsize trend.
I imagine one day small pocket zoomie will have at least 500kcd throw performance. Zoomies are lights with biggest potential and they have incredible performance in certain light applications(like IR for example), and I can bet that some person like MEM will make extraordinary versions of them.
Just ordered the XML2 version from GearBest this morning. I also have a 1504 in the mail. I will post some pictures when they come in.
That is unlikely. Fresnel did it all in the 19th Century.
Wait, explain that triple pictured above? Some other light? a mod of the Warsun X65? Photoshop?
This might be an interesting lens replacement:
It is unGodly expensive for a thin piece of thermal plastic, and it needs trimming. It costs much more than the flashlight.
This one http://www.dx.com/p/50mm-optical-glass-lens-for-flashlight-spot-light-44653#.VWtOMUYy1LE is cheaper, but only 2 cm. thick, so it may not be much shorter focal length than the original.
Me again with questions regarding throw comparison to Jacob A60, anyone can report back about how this light throws :D?
waiting for throw numbers as well.
if it beats a 200kcd without too much trouble, I am interested
Ordered one from GB - coupon: JUNE15GB for 8% off. It's a sitewide coupon code, so they say, but for lights that already have a discount shown (not really a discount...), the coupon code will increase the price, maybe. The code works well for the X65 sinc'e it is not listed discounted now.
Cree XML T6 Price: $15.69 with coupon GBX65
Cree XM L2 Price: $16.80 with coupon GBX65
:party:
Ahh, the GBX65 code from the GearBest Specials thread here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/28604. I missed that - little better than the JUNE15GB code.
