Yeah it worked at first, but only partially tightened down. If I tried to tighten it down so the o-ring wasn’t showing it would cut off. Now it only stays lit for a half second before shutting off. Let me know if it was the cells that were the problem. That said, the dome works great, and it’s a thick piece of plastic… more like a frosted optic. Now having used the dome on this style of light, I don’t see why you’d want it any other way.
I will do a mini review when I get it….
Looks a bit like the light CountyComm has that’s made to be an Aircraft LZ beacon.?
That is what I thought, but that one is for a C-cell alkaline, and has HUGE runtimes/multi mode, etc. This looks to be the poormans version for CR123/16340. The countycomm one looks nice for sure…
Did you have any issues with the width of the batteries? I am wondering if it would fit an 18350…. I will check mine when I get it with an 18650 for width, but figured I would ask if you still had the light available to check… Big runtime boost from an 18350…
Interesting to wonder if Thorfire is a rebrander ( no shame) or an OEM manufacturer.
The Thorfire website
http://www.thorfiredirect.com/Flashlights-c-55.html
has many familiar lights, including the AAA Stainless EDC xp-g2 clicky sold by
CNqualityGoods.com & AliExpress ( I have 2— nice tiny lights)
In another thread—it is mentioned that on the Aliexpress page for the
AAA Stainless EDC xp-g2 light, it
lists the maker as BTU Flashlights. btulight.com
I hope the keyring hole is at the middle so that we can wear it on neck.
I love the look of that KL02. I'm considering getting one if I could replace the driver with a 1.4A nanjg with a 1 or 2 lumen low, 50% med & 100% plus a 1 or 2 second beacon. It would be an immensely useful little light.
Mhanlen, does it look like the driver can be easily replaced?
It looks like you could do this, but it would go through both sides of the tail cap… Good idea…
You read my mind sir… I am going to try and take good pics when I get it… It kind of reminds me of a 40mm grenade round…
Any mention of the LED used?
It will not fit a 18650 or 18350 width battery. It fits a 16340 protected cell perfectly though, without much width to spare.
Looks like it sits on a tiny shelf, so probably. When I get home I might throw up some pictures or a short video of the whole thing.
The manual does not say. It isn’t familiar looking to me, but I feel like it’s neutral tinted.
I contacted Thorfire about the KL02 and asked if they could do “modes”. They seemed unsure, so I explained it to them. They are going to “look at the idea” and see if they feel they can make it with modes. In the “next few weeks”. I told them if they could, it might be a great little light for a GB here. Time will tell. They say they will keep me updated as things develop. I will find out the led next time I contact them.
somehow I’m hoping the KL02 had a High Low and slow beacon flash
Here ya go fellas.
Oh giggity, that looks modable in many ways… this could be a very interesting light…. Some sort of OSRAM led maybe? I am not experienced enough with the LED ID…
Well, nuts, it won’t be here until Monday. Forgot amazon likes UPS…
