Wow this loo\ks familiar @MF

UF V4 3 mode AA

https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/5318

Just in time to battle the Trustfire Z2 in the AA headlamp wars.

http://kaidomain.com/product/details.S020104

has a design elements in common with spark lights and zebra lights

Looks like a pretty nice lamp!

its probably a copy of a ZL? At least looks like a decent copy then.
Interesting to see yet another light like this, same ballpark as the Trustfire Z1?
Even though this looks a bit better IMHO

Just the ticket! Next year a review and driver swap.

Lightmalls shows the UF-V4 it takes a 14500 and says it's an XP-G. Guess this light will work with that headstrap from KD? I couldn't find a headstrap at Manafont. I see Lightmalls also has the Trustfire Z2 as well. From the beamshots on product pages it appears the UF-V4 puts out more flood (which I believe is more useful in a headlamp).

Edit - Here's the link to the "Ultrafire Elastic Belt" at KD and the BLF post about it. After re-reading that thread (in regards to the Trustfire Z1), I'm guessing I'd shoot for the Z2 and assume the reflector can be removed just like the Z1 for a beautifully even flood. And now I remember why I didn't like the Z1 - 16340 cells!

Somebody call the police! A skinny SC80 just t-boned a Spark!

This light is so ugly I almost HAVE to buy it. Needs a driver change, but it might be a fun project.

I find it rather good looking tho. It has a few lines that could be tought better but still. Too bad the body does not match the lines of the otherwise superb headpiece. A 16430 version with a bit squarish body tube would be probably awesome aesthetically.

Looks nice, and really Modable with a led Star easy to replace, and the driver might also be easy to change.

It is a pity it does not accept 14500 as is.

The design is a bit like a mix of two, but I don´t find it bad, and the threads are good looking.

Arg, I read garrybunk's answer and it accepts 14500 according to Lightmails, I have just bought it from Manafont.

looks like somebody smuggled the head out of the spark factory or maybe the factory that makes the spark lights are using none perfect spark heads and adding these bodies. good deal if that’s the case because I’m pretty happy with my st6.

mutant Spark ST5, the head looks identical right down to the removable bezel.

Ultrafire missed a trick there with the V4. A 45 degree swivel head join and that would have been a sweet angle/straight convertible.

I dunno, after how happy I am with the Z1, that light looks kinda bizarre. But nice that is uses an AA not a CR123

The battery tube looks nice and thick. It should be perfect for cleaning up on the lathe.

The whole thing looks like it would be easy to mod, as well.

Very useful flashlight and price. Ordered. It is XP-G. One of the cheapest XP-G lights around....i remember in early 2011 we could rarely get XP-G lights for 16 bucks.

asd

I may have to order that. An XP_G with an AA battery is a nice combination.

Any idea what kind of draw?

Damn it!

I agree that is a good price for an XP-G. I wish it had a clip and adjustable head angle though.

Once I receive it, I will try to make a 18650 pack for the back of my head when recquiring longer runtimes, it should also help a bit with the bouncing problem these type of headlamps have with the Kaidomain elastic belt and similar ones.
