My Description:
Nice quality construction. The finish is perfect. the lens is plastic but decent quality. It's the same size lens as the Ultrafire MXL-T6 (30mm). It performs almost exactly the same with a minimal ring. 1.2amps is about right, it's under-driven but this should make for good battery run times. Typical five modes that we are all used to. Spacing is about as expected. High is high, medium is close to high and low is kinda low. Beam rang is not even close to the 800 meters advertised and again that is what we have come to expect. I would estimate 200 meters. Lumens of course are no where near the 900. Again this is an estimate but I would say they are around 400 on high. Not bad actually. So far I would say there are really no surprises with this light at all.
Pros vs Cons
Pros:
The 26650 is nice and the runtimes are very good.
I like the handle a lot. It's very easy to hold with a nice texture to the knurling.
It zooms in and out smoothly yet it's firm enough to stay put. One hand operation is no problem at all.
Tailstands easily even with the lanyard on.
Takes multiple battery types.
It's not overly ringy, which is nice.
The flood is nice and very smooth beamed.
Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent.
Nice full box kit for a first time 26650 user or as a gift package.
Cons:
Price: At $38 dollars it's just a little too high even with the nice package.
Under-driven: Not even close to 900 lumens throw is average for a zoomie.
18650 adapter works but should have been bigger around because it's a little wobbly when putting batteries in. After it's screwed on it's fine.
Conclusion:
I like zoomies and have owned a few of them now. This one is better than most. I like that it's not ringy, that really is a deal breaker for me and too many lights have that problem. This one's ring is not really all that noticeable. The smooth flood and decent throw are a nice combination along with the long run times.
I would say that it would make a nice gift for someone who is new to flashlights or 26650's because of the all in one box set. Having the battery and the charger combined with an all in one style zoomie is nice. The excellent run time with the 26650 along with the throw and flood would be great for camping or fishing or even just general use around the house. The box is a nice touch. This would make a nice light for someone who wants one light that does it all fairly well.
