Odepro Hunting Flashlight B58U Product Review

That’s a long spring

Oh no. You cut one of those beauties in half???

And this is tactical flashlight, especailly its tail button.

Thanks for your post Lily Tan. Welcome to BLF! :bigsmile:

I have a few suggestions:

  • I agree that the 8 x 7135 driver providing 2.8 amps needs to be replaced. May I suggest +4 amps in your future iterations? You might be able to work with other BLF members to assist in building a custom driver to provide those current levels.
  • Get rid of any SOS or strobe modes. Build your drivers with ultra-low, low, medium and high modes with memory. Again, there are BLF members who might be able to assist.
  • I would also suggest not using any glue or sealing methods on the flashlight to allow the owner to completely disassemble the light. This is how many lights in this category are sold to us, and it is what we demand. Gluing/sealing the flashlight will definitely limit your sales potential, then many of us will not buy it. Many of us (including myself) will want to modify this light in the future and swap in our own drivers and emitters.
  • You should offer this light with Cree XPL HI emitters to increase the beam distance. The reflector is designed for long range, and the emitter I just specified should increase the range dramatically over the XM-L2.
  • The emitter should be mounted on a copper mcpcb board with a direct thermal path (DTP) between the emitters thermal pad and the board. This will help prevent a significant loss of lumens as the flashlight heats up.
  • Increase the metal thickness in the head from this:

To this:

Do you have a sales link or a delivered price in USD?

I like the thick floor plate and heavy tapered side walls forward of the emitter. It looks to have an awesome thermal path. Which one is it freeme? Link please? :bigsmile:

I was done by the designer. He is trying to show you something...

Thanks for the review. :slight_smile:

What payment methods do you take? Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review! :-)

What struck me is that there were a lot of words spent on (for us flashaholics) common knowledge, and not one word on the outstanding deep reflector, which will produce a very nice large hotspot :-) . That one fact makes this light stand out from the rest, it not neccessarily better, but certainly different.

I think there are 2 shills in the thread LOL

I'm looking at Faustine & Christine...

but I don't think it's funny. :|

Sorry, I could not help myself and deviate from the topic when phsinvent mentioned "King of C8". That model is a rare breed and I am overly excited because it is a few improvements that flashaholics have always wished for. Unfortunately, I am not going to disclose my model soon. No need to ask for details.

Odepro is a well made mini thrower and well-liked by many of our members including me. You do not need to feel offended or whatsoever.

Give us a good price on your superior made flashlight and Crom will bless your children!!

You go to their official website to know much more about the flashlight. This is their website. http://www.odepro.com/English/

It looks like a copy brand of Brinyte.

Lily Tan! Where can we buy this?! Flashlight hand mount. :party: Might look better with a smaller light though. :face_with_monocle:

Pricing of the B58U torch is listed as $39.96 RMB or around $US6.30. Not sure about shipping

On first looks it appears to be an oversized Convoy M1. Looks a good design.

US6.30? Can someone make it happen at $13 shipped?

I saw their taobao store, which is 161 RMB, =26 USD.

Edit: Anyone noticed that they are quite similar with Brinyte?
