Wow!! Deeper reflectors and higher current than the J18.

Damn......no clip. I never edc a light without a clip...

Come to think of it with that thing you need a tripod, its half a metre long.

Buy it here for $24! The pictures confirm its a mistake but anyone gonna chance this...

Side by side 4x26650 please.

Someone should try it. I would but I just won the pilotptk auction. :P

I checked, the shipping has two options. Economy for $101.63 and Standard for $131.83.

I just checked and I got quoted the exact same number.

Oh thought it was a US seller so didn't even bother to check, guess that's not a bargin then.

The description also states the head is 75mm not 98. They got the pics wrong though, so who really knows what to think....

Wow! I think it looks awesome :-)

I have no need for it but come on. That is the multi emitter XML light Darth Wader would buy! LOL

Well damn, just bought a TR-J12, this one will surely be on my radar for awhile though, if it gets to ~$75 I may snap one up, looks to be a BEAST.

That's a pretty long light to have a tail switch. This new Trustfire, like its predecessors are still limited to 7.5a regulated current.

Yea, I didn’t notice that at first, makes me a sad panda though.

I missed something. Why is 7.5 A no good?

Because it’s severely underdriving the LEDs. At 7 LEDs you would like to see 14 amps or more, 2A per LED, hell, even 10.5 for 1.5A per LED would be better, but at 7.5 for 7 LEDs you’re giving each just a little over an amp, almost pointless.

So this has the same brightness (lumen output) as the TR-J18? Which is commonly observed to have similar output to the J12, right?

The beam pattern would be different though. This one should throw farther than the J18 with deeper reflectors right?
