Yes, benckie, I've been meaning to "get into" 26650 flashlights for some time now. This looks like a good place to start (cheap). One thing I like is that these lights come with a spacer to let you use an 18650 battery as well

Best of both world,s 26650 or 18650

Nice one... I like how they did the 18650 adapter tube. Looks like it threads securely into the battery tube.

Looks like a nice alternative to the M10.

The manufacturers coming up with the spacer idea was one of the best things they could have done in my opinion. This allowed most of us that only had 18650 batteries to still use the light and purchase 26650's at our leisure, rather than have to start purchasing new batteries and chargers immediately.

Those do look nice. That spacer looks beefy.

A good excuse to get into 26650s.

Wonder how their driven?

Exactly ! +1

Looks nice. Certainly the cheapest 26650 light I've ever seen.

I found some pics of the pill area...

Hmm...maybe I shouldn't have spent as much as I did on the Shadow JM07 (although it is a nice light).

Hey, where was this light till now!

:beer:

I agree. The cheapest 26650 U2 XML light with included 18650 spacer that ive seen. I realy like the look of the pill set up and the price. It made me forget all about the shadow !

Hard to believe at this price point they even include the stator cover for the LED, which also has the raised groove to self align the reflector. I wish my HD-2010 had that. I'll have to put this one on my list. Nice find.

Crap, another must have light to order!

Only down side is 5 mode including the annoying blinky modes. I prefer hi-low only.

Here is another budget 26650 zoomy light from Manfont.

EDIT: Just realized benckie reviewed the light here. Another review by yavi here.

Video review here (in Spanish)

My reveiw of that zoomy light is here

Thanks benckie. We must have posted at nearly the same time !

Nice review benckie, and looks to be a great light for the money..

Question, is the Keygos M10 an XML light too? If so, how does it compare with this light? It is cheap, and it is a single 26650/18650 light too. They are going for $21.39 with free shipping on Ebay.

Good question, i don't have either yet, but i will order one of these UF-2200 as soon as i can and do a mini review.

The UF-2200 & Keygos M10 both have the same size bezel diameter and are about the same length, both have lanyards and both should tail stand no problem.

But the UF-2200 has a newer XML emitter the U2 that are brighter then XML T6 thats in the Keygos M10 and the U2 XML is meant to put out more light with lower current.

I have read a few Keygos M10 have had issues but i don't think the UF-2200 has been tried and tested yet as its pretty new, so it will come down to some one trying it or personal choice.

Since the UF-2200 has a XML U2 and i personally don't like glow in the dark switch boots or o-rings and I'm not a fan of ebay for torches or batteries i would order the UF-2200 even at $2 more.

So far this is the cheapest single 26650 U2 XML light with included 18650 spacer that ive seen.

17mm driver?
