Brinyte B158 Flashlight GB- Ordering is a GO with coupon, all details in the OP! Updated: 12-09-15

Put me down for 1 red and 1 green

The Uniquefire UF-T20, which is a Wolf Eyes Night Hunter clone. It was the first budget ($20) aspheric flashlight that showed serious performance (when modded), and for a long time there was nothing like it. It was first available 2012-ish.

Please put me down for one white light if I’m not too late to the party.

Thanks mhanlen for sponsoring this. Will have to brush up on modding to get the 310K output.

I’ll stay with my current order of 1 red light, but put me down for 2 bare pills instead of the tentative order of 3+. mhanlen I really appreciate the work you’ve put in getting these lights, trying to negotiate getting the bare pills in the first place and then getting the price down.

Please put me on the list for 1 red light
Thanks for your efforts

Ok folks, we’re closing in on 70 lights. Brinyte told me Gear Best had ordered 70 lights from them… We’re at 63 right now. Of course Gear Best can always place an order for more. But of course it’d take about 2 weeks to get them in stock. I’ll contact Gear Best and kind of give them the heads up how close we are.

I can spread my 20 out over a couple orders if necessary so others can get theirs as part of the first order. I’m not going to modify and sell them that fast, so a couple weeks of delay doesn’t bother me after I get my first 10.

Ok. I just sent them a message noting all the quantities. I’ll see what they say, about it. Might not be until monday till I hear from them. Thanks man!

Please add me to the list for 1 white, thank you.

If its not to late I'll take five white lights and five pills.

Can someone lend me their Mastercard or American express?

Sure! Can you describe an American Express, I might have one lying around here some where. It sounds like a toy train or sled.

Amex?

Please count me in for 2x red and 1x green flashlights.
Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

I'm down for one red light - please add 2 bare pills. Thanks!!

Are the green & reds XP-E2s? I’m not too familiar with ‘Cree R5’? Are there any chance we can get the B158 sourced as a host? Like with the UF-XXXXs?

The host is not possible, I’ve tried negotiating that. I will see what LEDs Brinyte says are in the modules.

Ok, I’m almost in for around 10-20 of these. It does not really mind which I’m taking, will strip out everything and rebuild. I presume it will be best to add mine to the red section to get the most qty there? Let me know. Will also take around 10 qty of the bare pills, hope the price on these can also drop a bit more? Would have been great if Brinyte could incorporate screw-in retainer ring for the driver - will make this light a winner.

But, before I confirm, I see there’s quite some rings when zoomed in? Could anybody maybe fiddle with some matt black paint to see if these go away?

I’m going to primarily use these as gun mountable options. KKW, I know you’re into hunting… do you have any concerns around this light being used on guns? Do you 100% approve of the mounting mechanism supplied with the light.

A few more questions…

Whats the price on the remote switch?

Whats the quality of the remote switch. I know the switches for the UF-XXX models are quite cheap?

Did anybody test the resistance of the remote switch? Or, maybe the drop in output whilst using it? Trying to accurately find out how much performance will be lost in using them.

Thanks!

I’ve found that the beam in zoom or flood is quite ring free compared to most zoomies. The light I modified had nothing done to darken the interior of the head, and at more than 30’ it’s almost impossible to see any rings in the beam outside. I’d rate the beam quality as excellent on this light.

As for the rail mount, I actually am not a hunter, though I have many friends who are. The light I have is actually getting sold tomorrow to a friend of mine who is a hunter for his AR. If I had any gripes about the mount it would be the height. An extra 4mm of height would have allowed the head to clear the rail, as it sits it would need to be mounted all the way forward, or a shim and longer screws to raise the mounting position. This could be as simple as drilling a couple of holes through a block of the right height, width, and length, or a trip to the hardware store for a couple of aluminum tube style spacers.

I wasn’t aware there was a pressure switch specifically for this light, but I just put one of the pressure switches for the 1504 in the B158, it’s a direct swap. I put a jumper on the spring on the 1504 pressure switches when I use them, as most of my lights pull a fair number of amps. By eye I’m not seeing a huge difference in output compared to the stock switch with jumper on the spring. I think I tested the drop at one point in a 1504 and it was pretty minimal compared to the stock switch, maybe a 5-10% loss in candela output. YMMV

By the way, mhanlen, go ahead and put me down for 20 bare pills total to match my 20 lights. Just remembering having to take that driver retaining ring off is weakening my resolve not to spend the extra $60.

Thanks for the feedback KKW. I normally try to get the beam pattern on my lights as perfect as possible - makes me feel better :). Sure I’ll get the ringyness better with some fiddling. I’m in for 20 x red then… also put me down for 20 x pills - its a pity we need to buy these!

Edit: I see 2 ‘issues’ with this light, take note its quoted. Its a bit of a waist buying extra pills to get away from the effort of getting the driver out & being able to fit a 20mm MCPCB. Sure its relative, I’m just thinking what would make this zoomie the next best selling, compact, ‘Zoom King’. We’ve been looking for such a light for some time now…

Did not specify, I’m in for the bare pill… Thanks!
