The head and assembling.
Tail switch
Emmitter (I can't get the driver out)
See the scratches here. (I used to hide this by using a black mark pen,permanent oily pen)
Looks dirty and rusty.
This aluminum tube is useless except extending the length and let 2*18650 be fit.
A ringy beam
Is there any chance that I use 3 or 4*18650 instead of 2?
Have to change a driver with higher voltage?
BTY, it took about 20 seconds to forget last memory.
everytime starts at high.
SOS frequency on-off-on is a little to high.
Thanks for the review!
Have you tried if a standard P60 dropin fits?
Thank you for the pictures and good info. It almost looks like you could fit 26650’s in the body if the inner alluminum tube is not used. Could you measure the inner diameter of the outer body tube?
no, the tube inside is a wire. It entended the length only.
only 2*18650 is available.
I see. May I still bother you to provide the internal diameter of the battery section?
That light looks like it could be a formidable club in the right hands.
inner dia is 18.7mm
no problem,Chloe.
Shipping is twice more than the product itself.
Thank you very much WWEFANS. You have been very gracious to acquire the flashlight and gives up much insight into it. I think it’s a pretty cool light. With you around, I will definitely be browsing taobao and the other sites you mentioned. Thank you again.
My short "gladiator" arrived. Looks very much like Rey's long one, but without any markings. Quality isn't even near the real thing.
No memory (resets in 8s), bad PWM, no dummy cells (= only 2x18650), P60 dropins don't fit, doesn't lego with real Solarforce => pretty much useless.
Sure it has heft and real XM-L pushes out some light, but that's pertty much all. And yes, a holster was included. :)
