How it works (&modes) :
UI : Ultra low – Low – Medium – High and hidden Strobe – Sos – Beacon mode
From off :
Single click (short) turns light on , on the lowest mode
Longer click turns light on , on the last used mode (not available for ultra low mode , because you can access it with short click)
Double click turns light on strobe (you enter hidden modes)
From on :
If you are in a regular mode :
Single click cycles between (Ultra Low – Low – Medium – High)
Double click and you’re in Strobe
If you are in a hidden mode :
Single click cycles between (Strobe – SOS – Beacon)
Double click and you’re in last used regular mode

Runtimes :
Actual tested Runtimes (will be updated as i test in more modes) :
High (Efest 14500) : 42 minutes (until first “LVP” warning)
When battery voltage is below 3V drops to the lowest mode
High (Eneloop AA) : 55 minutes (until shutdown)
Medium (Eneloop AA) : 1hr 40 minutes (until shutdown)
When battery voltage is equal or below 1V shuts down
Light has programmable output levels for every mode . Here is a how-to :
1) Open the flashlight , navigate on the highest mode , and turn off the light
2) Press the button until it blinks two times (it will open in highest mode , and flash 2 times after 7-8 seconds)
3) After it blinks twice , release the switch and double click again (It will enter strobe , beacon etc and a constant current output level & regular modes )
4) Now navigate with single (short) click to the lowest mode
5) It will ramp through 3 different output levels . Single click confirms selected output level of mode and goes to the next one
6) Do the same for all the modes , and when you are in strobe turn off the light with a “long” click .

Waiting for the updates and your overall impression Giorgos.
Please specify if you can the max battery length that can fit in it.

Overall impression is really good
Very small light , capable of great output , for a small time of course ( limitations are : the capacity of the cells and of course the small mass of all the lights of that size )
Edit : longer cell i have is 50,6mm and works fine .

Very nice, thanks for the detailed review!
Any idea on parasitic drain from the e-switch?
Budget Light Forum ...where Frugal meets with Flashlight!
“_High (Efest 14500) : 42 minutes (until first “LVP” warning)
When battery voltage is below 3V drops to the lowest mode
High (Eneloop AA) : 55 minutes (until shutdown)
When battery voltage is equal or below 1V shuts down_”
Is it common for the LVP to keep on draining an unprotected Lithium Ion battery while a NiMh cell is simply shut down via the same LVP?
Domari Nolo “I Refuse to be Subjugated” (1st Pennsylvania Regiment Flag) https://www.1stcontinentalregiment.org/blank
(Flagguys.com):..and man o man did they ever refuse to be subjugated. These guys were everywhere. They were important in Washington’s siege of Boston. They stayed behind and were the last to leave after covering the main army’s dangerous nick of time retreat from Long Island. They crossed the Delaware with Washington. They were “..at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and every major skirmish, and battle all the way to Yorktown..” where they fought “the most important part of the siege” according to General Steuben. These guys saw action in every one of the original 13 colonies.
Thanks for the review! A few questions for you:
How much PWM with this one? I would also like to know if it has a lockout mode.
Thanks Matt

Syrbuff has a youtube review on this light.
sb56637 , as i mentioned on the review it it 0,014mA .
Freedom , it is designed from the factory like that i guess .
peteybaby , No there isn’t lock out mode . It has a fairly good regulation , no visible dimming , until battery is not able to provide the required current of course . Only if you press the switch for a second time exactly after you release the switch it enters strobe .
mattlward , i will measure PWM frequency tonight .

Thank you George.
No lockout mode? I thought the light would lockout if the head is half turned?
Everyday Hobo, Friends Abroad
Yes , this is phusical lockout (if light has anodized threads , as ut01 has).

Thank you for all the info giorgoskok.

Would you know the lumen values for the different modes?
I might get a couple more while the price is good, if the spacing is to my liking.
Thanks
Low mode and long runtime lover…
I’ll give you an estimation :
Lowest – 10-25 lm
Low – 70 lm
Medium – 270 lm
High – 775 lm

A little bit disappointed,
Forgot my pen
OP updated with runtime for Medium mode , with AA .
Why , if i may ask ?

Just saw your edit.
Since a 50.6mm cell fits & works, I don’t see why a 50.5mm protected XTAR 14500 wouldn’t.
Do you have any XTAR 14500s (or any other 14500 protected of about that size) to check if they fit?
Not a flashaholic... I hope!

I have the same cell you mentioned (xtar 14500 protected) , and it’s actually longer (50.9mm – 51mm) and it doesn’t work .

Can you just remove the protective pcb to make it fit?
I have several of those in transit to my place.
we buy light for a brighter tomorrow
Battery’s pcb ? Yes (but not really good solution)

How about clip? I have a similar light with a similar clip, and I can not insert easy, is very closed for the flashlight

Clip is really hard to insert too.

Thanks for saying this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHn1BFt-u0
The user manual is a complete photocopy of the Manker E11’s, just without the Manker logo.
Without trying to sound too controversial, may I ask if this torch, and the UT02, have been copied out of spite for Manker?
Btw, thanks for the review, giorgoskok. I’m now going to buy more than one.
Sorry , UT01 i meant .

So, only 0.3-0.4mm length difference makes such a damage...
I guess that there might be even some IMRs that won't fit then.
Anyway, I've ordered a pair of 49.5mm UR14500P and a pair of 50mm TF IMR14500, so I will have 14500s that fit, but... do you think that there might be a problem with flat-top cells? Will the UT01 work with these?
