Shipping out of country in two packages kills that deal, I would probably clear less than $10 on that deal.
I think that for my two 18650 flashlight, I will go for this one:
works with one 18650 also
cool white (I prefer cool white)
has mode memory
If I will ever learn modding, do you think it could be a good host?
Yes. Of course it will be good host. Saabluster has selling modded Fandy's long time ago in his Onestopthrowshop.
The MaxToch's are all great throwers, superior parts/design out of the box, but if the price is too steep, I highly recommend the Yezl Y3 in single cell format. Great quality, great price, great throw: wallbuys.comYEZL-Y3-XM-L2-T6.
I've bought 3 of these from WallBuys - double bubble wrapped in a heavier type box, no scratch's, 18650 converter. For this price range, great features:
- true SS bezel
- bigger reflector than a HD2010, T08, or T13
- XM-L2 LED
- uni-body pill design, excellent heat sinking
- tail switch for power, side switch for Hi-Med-Lo modes (strobe - hold button down)
- has reliable mode memory
- pretty big size hot spot
I have no clue why this light hasn't become more popular here - I only can think lack of knowledge, and that it's from WallBuys (other vendors too, but have different configurations), and there has not been any group buys on it.
Stock, out of the box: 2.50A at the tail on a KK 4000 unprotected, ~830 lumens OTF, 61 kcd throw (that's 494 meters)
(Note: I got slightly better #'s experimenting with batteries, finding a KK 4200 cell that did well with this light)
Modified these Y3's are outstanding of course, but stock, to get this kind of throw and output from only 2.5A is pretty unique for a budget light.
More info here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/24076, post #77 has the stock #'s for the 1st Y3 I bought, different cell.
Most likely a simple mod of copper wiring the tailcap spring will boost these stock #'s.
marswallace - that FandyFire from DX is an XML, not XM-L2, no SS bezel, says only 2A. No way, no how can it throw as good as this Y3. The reflector size appears to be about the same, but the most important spec is the Inner Diameter, and the Yezl Y3 beats anything I've measured in this general size.
That STL-V6 clone will be 36 kcd to as high as 52 kcd - several sources, but think the 47 kcd # is about right, post #14 here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/8601
More info: I got MaxToch's, T13's, T08's, HD2010's, Warsun X60, and several more high end and lower end throwers and the Y3 is my favorite in this size.
i have the yezl y3 to its true what Tom E say.
You know I am interested in a Skyline I and II....
omg! and this? 3000ma? really?
This looks like a STL-V6 equal and I do like Supfire quality, and a whole lot cheaper here than the STL-V6: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/27823. I'm thinking of ordering one, though I'm too thrilled with classic two 18650 series lights anymore -- this style is pretty dated.
