Kaidomain is backordered, I wish they could state that before you order, I am thinking in canceling the order but I do want to buy this light, do you know a trusted seller that has it in stock?

Thanks!

we banggood has this light

They are in our warehouse now.

Damn. A 9 minute response time.
+1, kudos to you banggood.

Cool!, let me cancel the KD order and place it with you! Thanks! :bigsmile:

OK, I sent KD a cancelation email, does anyone know how long do they take to refund?

Order placed with banggood! :bigsmile: :party:

Thanks!

it will be shipped tomorrow or monday.

weekends most of my colleagues are rest

Nice work, Banggood! 8)

You are awesome! :beer:

Thank you! Hope it gets here fast :wink:

What emitter does this light have? Description claims Cree L-2, the picture shows what appears to be XML

LOL Mine are the same :-)

Also Intl Outdoor has it, but probably BangGood has it for less.

By the way, if you’re after a smaller alternative, consider the Roche F6 with USB recharging and output head (it’s a sweet thing!)

My light arrived on 4/30/14 well packaged and it works great treads were lubed, as others had said, the battery carrier is a bit short to accommodate protected 18650’s but there is an easy fix for that! I just had to cut the carrier springs in half using a dremel and pliers and protected cells will fit with no issues.

I polished all the contacts with flitz and then used Deoxit and Progold to keep good electrical contact.

The light is well made, the tint is a nice cool white bordering close to 1C tint, led is well centered and reflector is clean of any dust, I would consider it a medium range flashlight, nice combination of hotspot and spill Similar in size and throw to the Sunwayman D40A, I am keeping it stock, no need to change anything! :smiley:

The USB ports work well and has enough current to charge my Note 3 as fast as the wall charger

So far it was a nice purchase and I am very happy with it, thank you Neal from BangGood for helping.

So It’s XM-L or XM-L2 ?

It’s an XM-L2

I had the same light and loved it- gave it away to a good home.

I am looking to get this light as well. Just not sure what is the beam range and spill area. Any owners have some beam shots of this light outdoors? TIA!

Bought and received this light. It is quite a long light and a bit heavy. Throws slightly better than a Ultrafire C12 with 8x7135, with a more intense hot spot.

Curious about the internals, I proceeded to take it apart...

Composite picture below is from seller showing the different parts, as I did not take pictures during much of the dismantling process. Unscrewing the aluminium bezel will give access to the reflector, pill and LED itself. The insulating gasket is a bit high, and much of the LED lens is being blocked by the gasket.

The light switch is a press-to-on type. Waterproofing may hold for splashes but not sure if it will hold under water.

The LEDs lead wires need to be unsoldered before you can unscrew out the pill to access the driver. The pill is as below, with a shelf machined to fit a 20mm star nicely. The star is only held down with thermal paste by default but there are 2 smaller holes with screw threads, which you can add 2 small screws to hold down the star.

The driver is glued to the head by thermal glue. Giving it a few knocks with a wooden dowel will loosen it out. The driver can actually drive 3 LEDs but only 1 set of "circuit" is used to drive the single LED. There are 6x7135 (380mA), giving a total of 2280 mA. The first set of circuit can actually accommodate 7x7135s but mine only has 6....

Unfortunately, while attempting to mod the driver, I may have accidentally shorted something and I suspected I fried the IC at the bottom. The flashlight no longer lights up.

Now I have trouble trying to find a replacement driver of 40mm. The Skyrayking driver may fit in terms of diameter but the components are too high. The space between the driver and the pill is woefully small so those boards with components jutting out can't be used. Anyone knows of a 40mm driver which is rather "flat" like the original board? Or would it be better to try and piggy back another board onto it? Any recommendations for a good driver with electronic switch? TIA!

How about 40mm BLF FET driver from RMM? :slight_smile:

but apparently it’s out of stock :~

That would be the board to get and/or the 12A 32*7135 board
