Despite the listing these 2100’s are now U2’s (marked on the body as such). Mine which just arrived and draws 3.56A from a TF 3000 protected. At $13 they are a real bargain.
The tube’s good, the switch is good, the reflector is good, its drawing 3.5A and it produces what a flashlight should (i.e. light) and a damn lot of it. Its visibly beating my Manafont 3 mode P60 drop in that pulls 3.4A. I’m more than happy.
Ultrafire, who makes fakes simmilar lights to Fenix, Olight etc. tells us no to buy double fakes because they are not true fakes original!??? :))))
I see only the 3xprice on the original site. That is the point imo.
P.S. With all these ultrafires only the BLF will help to choose the right thing, no matter what is the name.
P.P.S. Actually the quality of all UF-2100 has decreased very much since first UniqueFire UF-2100… the switch, the diod centering…. etc. Love my first uniquefire. Still works great with AMC7138x8 installed.
But anyway, U2+Body+Bad switch+shipping for $13 is a real present!
I have to correct you there. The switch on the UF2100 U2 that I just received from KD is very good. Nice positive feel and the lowest resistance I have seen on almost any light and certainly the lowest on any Ultrafire light.
The problem is the new UF 2100s from KD now have the dreaded snap ring holding the driver in and no longer use the EAST-90 driver so you get a better emitter with a cheaper pill and driver. I think they suck to tell you the truth the old T6 version had a heavier pill a better driver and the pill was threaded into a nice heavy pill instead of being attached by a snap ring to a smaller lighter pill.
Yes - that's what's happening. I just got in the HD2011 special from WallBuys for $10 - piece of junk - doing 3.6A, no pill, just the housing all in one, like a Jacob A60, also has the same anodized surface the LED star is mounted on. The driver kind of floats - doesn't quite fit into the press fit spot for it. Was hoping I could do some mod'n on this light, but it would be difficult at best. I'm not familair with prior HD2011's, so not sure if they were always this way.
I started modding the HD 2011 tonight - going with a 1.4A Nanjg, stacking all 4 7135's to get 2.8A, but it's really too much for this light (will get really hot in 45 secs rather than 30 secs). No pilll to speak of, no room to add copper, best I can do is pot the pill area - host is cheap plastic-like thin aluminum. I got extra U3 1C's, so using one of those in it. Trying to salvage something out of it, but after just seeing those new Convoy's (I-O EDC 18650 host w/SS bezel) on FastTech for like $20, it's gonna be a waste of time & parts, but it's fun . FastTech looks like they nailed the tube 18650 lights in prices and choices.
