i skyped today with Celia from shenzhen-wholesale.
company policy says: no free samples
but one can buy a light, check its quality and then we can start negotiate the changes and price.
or try to get it as host…
anyone take one for the team?

I would be in for a single 18650 A60 type of light.
My HD2010 55mm reflector, XM-L2 de-domed, 6.2 amps on Purple Efest 26650 148kcd. My Courui 68mm reflector FETDD (3) vtc5 XP-L HI 5700k 70cri 283kcd Courui 5000k 70cri 268kcd and my Courui de-domed XP-L can’t remember which? 306kcd. All the same resistance mods and drivers, on the vtc5 batteries, and the reflectors are on the boards, no centering rings. My Vinh modded TK61V4 measure’s 666kcd not the claimed 740kcd so take it for what it’s worth?
BLF FET driver + XP-L HI + big SMO reflector = :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
Make it happen! A JAX-style zoomie would be cool too.
Max I’m willing to pay for a decked out BLF dedicated thrower would be $80. Why I’m willing to place my price point so high is because I am sure that I am getting a quality light with an awesome driver…
Jacob A60 size thrower with FET driver and XP-L HI would be great.
How about the new convoy L2?
+1 Wrathbringer27!
I have a lot of lights that just leave me with wanting more.
If $30 is all some can afford, then I do understand and hope that we make one. - I will buy one too!
I however, want a really Good Thrower, not a modded C8 class light… Something above 250KCD with a Genuine XP-L HI. - Oh! - and with Flat regulation to boot!
Not gonna be cheap, I know, but it’s cheaper than 5 more lights that just don’t deliver what I want.
Thanks,

Very new to this, but I’d be more interested in something special that does more. And if price needs to go up then so be it - I hate that ‘wanting more’ feeling.
Looks like you need a login to see the review :)…
+1 to you too! I want a fully capable light! Something that has the capability of something else priced 3 times more! Maybe design wise it’s ugly but it’s awesomely capable, I will still take it!
I might be able to get one but its not 100% yet! Will see in a couple of days…
Pick a cd rating and go from there.
A c8 will do 150,000 cd for well under $30.
An stl-v6 or hd2010 will do near 300,000 cd for maybe $40
Jacobs a60 in stock for is extremely hard to mod, but mine does 220,000cd for maybe $20
Something in the middle maybe?

HD2010 with XPL or XML2 near 300 kcds ?? :~
What about something entirely different? What about a recoil type of a design using an XPL and a heat pipe and a 60 or 80 mm reflector? That design has a far reaching and intense beam.
1st surface reflectors are a bit spendy about $20 - $22 for 75mm Anchor Optics
Maybe if we bought as a group buy they could make us an enhanced aluminum 1 st surface reflector at a nice price. Some limited production runs are as low as $13.

I hear you, even though Id like this light to be really impressive, yet budget thrower, wouldnt mind seeing V2 as almost-no compromise light.
And yes, make it fully regulated with decent turbo and good stepdown to decent high for that regardless if its 30$ or 70$, is this possible?

Argh! you are right!
BLF FET driver + XP-L HI + big SMO reflector. Make it happen! A JAX-style zoomie would be cool too.
That is the way the guys at italian CPF are working. A FET driver + 7135, the same of Manker X6.
Stay tuned :bigsmile:
Well, we do have UF 1504 and 1503 at quite a temting price, an A17DD based 1503 do easy 250k mcds 1504
The one thing that we dont have is a nice 18650 55-60mm reflector based thrower, rifle mountable, light- 250gr tops, kinda pocketable too
That hd2010B will do the trick, ESPECIALY if a host only - engraving free ofc, on ultra, unique, tesla or godsfire…boored of those “something-fire based” flashlights….
Well I was having a chat with Jack via email who seems to be much more open to sending a sample but Celia has taken over all conversations saying she is in charge of this groupbuy so I think we need to look elsewhere.
This is my opinion in the other thread:
I’ve discussed about making a BLF thrower with Rey before using the Trustfire X7. It has good price point (price is negotiable especially with high quantity), BIG reflector, taking multiple batteries and fairly good looking.
I know some people do not like multiple lithium batteries in series, and this is probably the Courui D01 is favoured. But the good thing about 3 batteries in series is that the current regulation is very good and constant, which mean that the maximum light output can be maintained until all the batteries are almost empty.
The X7 reflector is also slightly larger than the Courui D01 if I am not mistaken, meaning that it has the potential to hit 450kcd if not more. So with a good buck driver you can enjoy 450kcd as long as you want until the batteries are fully depleted without having the voltage sag.
The X7 can probably can be mounted on a rifle… well, I’m not a hunter so I’m not very sure on this one, but based on its body tube diameter I guess it can. The Courui D01 however is not quite possible.
Yes the Trustfire X7 is very big and long, but when it comes to a thrower (especially something which is capable of producing 350kcd and above) I don’t expect it to be pocketable, instead I want better current regulation and constant output. With a single 18650 supplying 6A to a single XP-L HI, how long would you expect it to stay there? A couple minutes maybe?
