[quote=blueb8llz] ok i ended up buying two lights since i had to pay for shipping. geez, most places offer free shipping... i also bought the uniquefire uf-v1, i know its an outdated light, and ugly in its own way, but i just wanted to try it out since i couldnt find any reviews on it, other than one guy on manafont mentioned that its similiar brightness to a hd 2010, but more floody. i almost bought the uniquefire uf-t8 instead, but last minute change my mind for the uf-v1. http://www.lightmalls.com/uniquefire-uf-t8-1770-lumen-cree-xm-l2-u2-5-mode-led-flashlight-torch-1x18650 http://www.lightmalls.com/uniquefire-uf-v1-stainless-steel-cree-xm-l-t6-5-modes-memory-led-flashlight-1x18650#review-form [/quote]
The Uf-V1 is sold under a different name - MXDL SA-76, thread here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/8294. I mod'ed one for manxbuggy1, it came out nice, brighter of course, but it's got poor heat sinking because of all that SS - tailend stays completely cold while the head gets pretty hot. Used on short spells it does pretty good, can't recall the #'s, but I definitely got the lumens up there, maybe 1,300's I believe? I did the "sandwhich" style mod, as shown in that thread, using a Nanjg cranked up.
