Mateminco TK01 Xhp50.2 21700 special offer ( now closed )

Spring bypass should do little to nothing. Head has a solid contact and the tail is a dual heavy spring set up. I’m experimenting with a few batteries. The driver like a higher voltage, weaker cells have very short to no turbo. Sanyo NCR18650GA’s had enough power to run 45 second turbo all the way down to 4.00 volts unloaded. O rings are tight and I’ve already nipped one. Yes it tail stands.

A note about the UI I love it. Low,medium 1, medium 2 and high are all on memory on/off all day long and they stay set without fault. Turbo is a double tap and strobe is a long press. S.O.S. and beacon are 1-2 more long presses. Only first 4 modes get memory. If on Medium 2 then I double tap to turbo it’s Medium 2 that’s in memory.

The only real improvement I could see myself doing is the seal the head in potting material to really water proof and secure the charging port.

I got the samsung 40t today… i can charge it on my gyrfalcon all88… i couldnt wait to try it out…

Samsung 40t @ 3.57v = 2250 lumen… very impressive with the 20700/21700.

Nice. It’s strange that your 18650 couldn’t get it into turbo. My 21700 30T and 18650 Sofirn 2200mah battery that came with a $15 light made no difference in output.

Newlumen · 2018-10-21T01:22:25.000Z

I got 2200 lumen with the Samsung 40t. Yay.

I bet he was using that adapter which is junk and causes a lot of losses.

SKV89 · 2018-10-21T03:35:29.000Z

But I was using the same 18650 adapter that came with the light and the Sofirn performed the same as Samsung

JasonWW · 2018-10-21T03:45:19.000Z

Adapters always add resistance which reduces voltage. I don’t have a good reason why Newlumen’s vtc6 could not activate Turbo. Maybe just dirty contacts. ¯\/¯

Newlumen · 2018-10-21T04:02:04.000Z

I dont know what i did wrong… now i get 2160 lumen with the sony vtc6 button top…

Maybe the switch need to break in… i dont know… or the contact is dirty.

SKV89 · 2018-10-21T04:25:01.000Z

Did you clean the contacts? If so, then that’s probably why. I’ve been having alot of problems with the TC20 not going to Turbo. Everytime after I wipe the contacts in the flashlight and battery terminals, then it is fine again.

Newlumen · 2018-10-21T18:56:44.000Z

I want to charge my 20700 with the built in charging unit… how reliable is that??

I’ve been doing it a few cycles now with the NCR20700B. They fit well and finish at 4.18 volts. It charges at 500 Mah how ever.

texas_shooter · 2018-11-03T22:34:32.000Z

Another update. Got a pair of Samsung 50E 21700 5000 mah batteries yesterday and ran some voltage test. It’ll go to Turbo at 3.55 volts but only last a second at this point. Drops out of high at 3.25 volts. Drops out of medium-high at 3.14 volts. Drops out of medium-low at 3.08 volts.

It’s becoming a favorite light of mine and if it proves very durable it’ll be a new duty light partnering the Pflexpro 2 mode 3.8 amp light.

Just tested the tk01 again with the samsung 40t… i got 2260 lumen @ turn on… great job mateminco.

Does someone perhaps know how the UI works on the TK01?

KevinZA1988:

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s exactly like the Astrolux FT01. On and off is by the tail switch. The side switch controls the levels. Dbl clk for turbo, press/hold for strobe, SOS and beacon.

Hi JasonWW,

Does the tail switch function as lockout, and then the light can be switched on/off via the side switch??

The side switch only controls the levels, not on/off.

It is the tail switch that controls on/off. Since it cuts all power, it also acts like a lockout.

Are you as disappointed as I am?

KevinZA1988 · 2018-11-20T18:08:49.000Z

I’m a sad man now… I am not a fan of that setup at all. I’m slowly but surely selling my lights that work like that, in some cases I have even given some of them away. Guess I’ll have to pass on this beauty

You might be interested in the newest version of the Sofirn SP33.

Or the Sofirn C8F… Hmmmm
