Review//Lixada 3800 Lumen Triple

Thank you very much Robo :slight_smile:

:frowning:

Thanks for the review! Looks like it really puts out a ton of light even if it’s not really 3800. Hard to beat for $20.

For $20 it is a pretty decent one and yes it puts out a good amount of light to around 200 yards, but it IS a flooder not a thrower.

[stupid question on]
So this is much better than Trusftire TR, righ?
[stupid question off]

I ask it because 2 years ago I’ve thinked to buy the Trusfire, but never do it.
When I’ve saw your review of Lixada and the photos on TOMTOP site, assembled with 1x18650 too, I’ve said: “wow! Finally it’s time to pull the trigger” :sunglasses:
But then on specifications I’ve read: Battery Configurations: 2 18650 3.7V* so…. :frowning:

It is a little brighter to the eye than the TF, build quality about the same I would say.

The configuration on the TomTop site shows with the battery tube is misleading , as with the tube in that configuration the 18650 is at least a full inch too short to use the light that way. It will only work with 2 cells (or 3 if you have a second extension tube).

Thanks for the review, Robo. The Trustfire TR 3T6 is a flashlight I have been considering and this seems basically a cone. But, I think am going to save my pennies, waiting for the Maxtoch 2X. However this triple has a nice broad, floody beam with some distance to it and it looks like a useful flashlight. Your reviews do a good job of demonstrating a flashlight’s capabilities at varying distances. Very helpful.

Glad to do the reviews MB. Yes it is a low cost flooder with decent quality and decent output.

Really? Glad I hadn’t ordered one yet then.

Thank you very much for this important clarification!

So no way to work with just one 18650… :frowning:
I got to build a triple by myself…

edit:

that’s true :slight_smile:

Maybe with a spacer between the battery and springs?
Or putting 2xCr123 or…I don’t know… 2x18500 are too short.

The Lixada arrived with the tube extension (to work with 3x18650) or only with the 2x18650 tube?

Only the 2 cell tube configuration arrived.

Very nice to see this C8 on steroids :smiley:
But I must say, I really like the fact that there are flooders with cells not in series.

would it work with one cell?

The proportions are strange, thickness of tube is odd. Not crazy about the large spring ground connection a la p60 either. I wonder if the short tube is for 2 X 18500.

I like the amount of fins, I wonder if they can be utilized? Did you take it apart to see what the thermal path is like?

The short tube only extends, as it will not screw on to the head.

The still shots of the teardown are in the video. The pill and reflector are all one piece and it screws into the head with threads under the fins.

I found it intriguing enough to order one.
When I am done with it, it will be not so much the flooder and will work with one cell. :wink:

Thanks for the head’s up, looking forward to the challenge. :smiley:

Cant wait to see what you come up with on this one.

that’s right!

A big head (like C8 or Warsun Mx900 - always C8 style)
Triple led (ok floody/wall of light)
1x18650 (thinner body)
dual switch (tail cap on/off- side switch for changing mode)
Blf A6 driver
1-2 short tubes for extend the body
Budget (25-29$ shipped)

Let’s start a BLF GB :smiley:

Man let’s hp[ejaxman is willing to work with us and provs to e a manufacterer!
