I just bought the UF H4 for 30$. And i read that those who owns it, loves it. And it was a flood with a throw.
But now when i have searched much deeper for info, i found that this light has a narrow throw.
Have i made a mistake with buying this headlamp? I want a throw, with some flood. Is this the right light, or is this a pure throw with a narrow beam?
I don’t have the H4 but I had the H2 and have the H3. I can say that it will not and could not have a narrow beam. There is not enough reflector to give a ton of throw in the design. It may have a hotspot but won’t be a narrow focused beam. My H2 and H3 have pure flood which makes them worthless past 10 feet or so. That’s fine as I wanted it for up close work only and they serve that need perfectly.
Okey i see Lucky i didnt bought them, becuase i wanted a pretty good throw. Not like 100 meters or so, but like 15 maybe.
Im gonna use it when walking outside, or doing something outside.
Almost all headlamps have almost ALL FLOOD ...I have a H501 zebralight and it's a q5 emitter that should mean throw but it has no reflector and it's all flood ..i also have a H31 and it has a reflector so it does have some throw ... Some ...
If you want some throw in a headlamp i'd say buy a xre xpe or a xpg in that order with a reflector ..if you want flood i'd be looking for an xml or xpg without a reflector or a frosted lens.
I think a headlamp is a tool and $50+ for a good tool is cheap .
Buying a bad tool because it's cheap is a horrible idea
In some ebay ads, it says the Ultrafire H4 Headlamp can have 1 OR 2 CR123 batteries, depends if you use the extender you get with the light.
But in other ads it says “Do not use 2xCR123 batteries, you burn the LED” or something like that.
Who should i trust? I dont want it to brake becuase im using the wrong batteries.
Btw, can the Flashlight/headlamp get destroyed by using the wrong batteries?
I see. Very useful information, if i dont wanna brake the flashlight that is…
I actually never got a Manufacturers spec sheet when i’ve ordered flashlights, Never. :S
The flashlights ive ordered, i have gotten in a package whitout any sheet or nothing, just an ordinary paperpackaging. :S
Hahah :bigsmile: There is not many Reviews of this light here, or have i missed them? I know i read one, but i havent found any review with beamshots outside etc?
Would you be interested in such a review?
