I agree. The cheapest 26650 U2 XML light with included 18650 spacer that ive seen. I realy like the look of the pill set up and the price. It made me forget all about the shadow !
Hard to believe at this price point they even include the stator cover for the LED, which also has the raised groove to self align the reflector. I wish my HD-2010 had that. I'll have to put this one on my list. Nice find.
Nice review benckie, and looks to be a great light for the money..
Question, is the Keygos M10 an XML light too? If so, how does it compare with this light? It is cheap, and it is a single 26650/18650 light too. They are going for $21.39 with free shipping on Ebay.
Good question, i don't have either yet, but i will order one of these UF-2200 as soon as i can and do a mini review.
The UF-2200 & Keygos M10 both have the same size bezel diameter and are about the same length, both have lanyards and both should tail stand no problem.
But the UF-2200 has a newer XML emitter the U2 that are brighter then XML T6 thats in the Keygos M10 and the U2 XML is meant to put out more light with lower current.
I have read a few Keygos M10 have had issues but i don't think the UF-2200 has been tried and tested yet as its pretty new, so it will come down to some one trying it or personal choice.
Since the UF-2200 has a XML U2 and i personally don't like glow in the dark switch boots or o-rings and I'm not a fan of ebay for torches or batteries i would order the UF-2200 even at $2 more.
So far this is the cheapest single 26650 U2 XML light with included 18650 spacer that ive seen.
so I bought this flashlight and I just got it in the mail. I have some questions:
1) Which way does the battery go? I have a 26650, I took off the nice spacer. I assume the negative pole goes where the spring is? So battery goes negative in first?
2) I cleaned out the threads because the grease looks dirty to me, grey grease. What kind of grease should I use? I have marine grease and silicon grease.
3) Will this flashlight work ok in the rain? I bought it to use on my bicycle.
3) I bought a charger the TR005. Do I set it at 4.2v or 3.0v?
4) Do I charge up my Trustfire 26650 5000mah battery first?
You know the only problem with the U2s? It’s the tint. They are too blue for me. I want something preferably around that 3 to 5k mark. But this is so wicked tempting still! Love the form-factor!
OK thank you Shadoww for the tips. Good thing I asked first about the polarity. Next question, I turned on the light, it seems there are a lot of dust I under the glass (?). I don’t see it without turning it on. Should I clean it, and how to I undo the drop? I see two indentations on the drop, what do I use and which way do I turn? I assume counter clockwise.
