Ultimate aspherical flashlight set / Uniquefire 1508

15.. Series of flashlights are chunkier so yes this new light should be much lighter than them.

But 15.. series, especially smaller brothers are not bad either. They are real zoomies with fast focusing action with over-focus stop.

Dereelight system does not have fast focusing action, neither it has overfocus stop neither it has nice flood beam so if this new series is identical copy of Dereelight maybe it will not be for everyones taste.We will see.

I am almost sure that 17mm buck drivers will be used in default flashlights.

Yeah, I also have the feeling that they are going to use the 17mm buck driver, again. :expressionless:

But if the 1508 pill can be directly swapped with the 1405 pill then it will be not that much of an issue to me.

Friend it is completely different pill (except black retaining ring). And is brass one. Looks better than 1504 pill? :)

I hated the fact that pills are not interchangeable with 15.. series flashlight... This one will be used in all head sizes :), and if someone have need to solder led emitter to pill will be more than happy to hear this.

So, when will this be available to regular retail customers? It would be nice to have a less expensive Dereelight type/quality light option.

Definitely getting one of these

Exactly!

Any update on this light especially the 74mm version? Anyone got one of these already?

Hey guys, I have been off the site for a while due to some issues. I’m already inquiring on these.

I still did not tried this :( . I am to occupied with 50 mm aspherics (B158 & UF1503).

Glad that you are back n10sivern.

Hope you'll review this new aspheric set ;)

Go ahead and set up the group buy, I’m in for a few sets.

Interesting. Hopefully they will want to have one reviewed by someone here.

24 hour flash group buy is in this thread. Here is your chance to piggyback on my order and be one of the first to get this light. Sorry, but this is for US people only. Told y’all I was working on getting these!!!

Not in for your gb, but glad to see you back n10s!

Thanks djozz. Life just sometimes gets in the way of fun. I’m back, maybe not as much as I was before, but back all the same. I have several lights I need to build and review. I asked for this light from Uniquefire 8 months ago. Nice to see they are finally listening.

That will happen to me too at some point. I just hope that there will always remain some spare time for hobbying, at whatever pace. :-)

74 mm is the head diameter, not the lens size, correct? How does this compare to the 1504? Just can't find an accurate measurement posted here on BLF - GearBest says 7 cm for head diameter, but who knows how accurate that is.

Alibaba says for the 1504 a 67 mm lens, 71 mm head diameter, so this light's 74 mm number is the biggest. Is this the biggest convex zoomie then, at least reasonably priced one?

Tom,

Alibaba site shows about 16 different flavors of the 1508 and the head sizes are all mixed up. The big head, shows 74mm and 75mm, in different descriptions. I don't think they have a clue as usual. I contacted Shenzhen last night and got a response from "Ruby" about shipping me a sample for review. I will probably go ahead and get one with all the heads, the extension and an extra pill and do a video review of it, if the shipping is reasonable. Probably at least 2 weeks or longer from now, if it happens.

All true O-L. We won't really know for sure til we get it, but I was also trying to find our specs (BLF posted) on the 1504. I got two 1504's @home though, @work now.

I wish for a DJozz “bandsaw view” of the focusing mechanism, to understand how it works, but I’m not ready to fund that operation.

Definately interested in this thread. I missed n10sivern’s GB offer. I’ll be subscribed for upcoming updates. Thanks, guys!
