Review TrustFire TR-3T6 Triple XM-L T6 5-Modes Memory LED Flashlight (3x18650)

IMHO

On the first it looks like a good deal but have to look very closer to find the hidden flaws

TF-3T6 costs around :-

Light Malls-$51
Manafont-$55.8
Light Box-$51.7
Ledssupermall-$50
Focalprice-$41.59(2*18650)

Avg Price-$50,Let us assume the Base Price=$52

So the rest of it is around $17
You can get DsD charger(SKU 936) from Dx at $6.90
The rest of $10 on (18650*2) from Dx around $9.90-Trust fire Flames(SKU 20392),which is the most popular cell in 18650 size in Dx.

Apart form that supplier is not giving any info of charger & Batteries,it is only displaying Ultrafire cells(picture),but remember the pictures are only for illustrative purpose,its a strong possibility that those are not 3000mAh.
Also read the negative feedback of seller.

Can anyone plz answer post no 269

>> So guys is there any feasible way to convert temporarily to throw and and back to flood with convenience & DIY

You need to get a diffuser. cnqualitygoods has one but it's 43mm diameter. But if you tailstand it i guess it can work. The internal diameter of these triple XM-L is 45mm.

Thats not like me to be right Tongue Out but i think it will be the best torch for him and his conditions.

I knew the sky ray L1 would be a pos and follow suit with the other fry rays but as soon as trustfire come out with a 5 x XM-L ill be on it as i like trustfire and my mulity led trustfires have good drivers in them.

no problem

i bet the batteries are crap and the charger is not much better, i would get it from a know seller and buy some decent batteries and a decent charger, yes it will cost you more but its worth it for being safer and enjoying your torch more.

I think 5xmL Flashlight should be soon available,check out the sneak preview!!!

Ive seen that thread and the light has been on manafont for a while now but i would not buy the fry ray L1 5 x XM-L at all, i cant believe people still buy sky rays (just my opinion) I'm waiting for the Trustfire 5 x XM-L

I have a fandyfire stl-v6 and a trustfire 3t6 on the way, are these batteries safe to run in these lights.

there are so many batteries not sure what to get.

Want good batteries inexpensive batteries

Thanks Jim

Those Panasonics are definitely not really safe batteries to get for the triple XM-Ls. Till today there are a couple of safe copies which work, but still no guarantee the driver electronic won't suddenly go down give a dead short. In a worst case scenario with a total noob, you could actually become disabled in a Li-ion explosion, the explosion itself isn't very dangerous, issue is that it is contained in a flashlight tube (and a pretty strong one at that) hence multiplying the destructive power.

Though someone has demonstrated that the NCR18650CH does not go poof in a dead short. But that's a slightly different chem.

But don't get me wrong, not that they are not usable, just that i wouldn't use them unattended, or as a long term daily battery. If it's always attended usage, plus short bursts, and you always check cell voltages etc.... i don't see no problem at all.

Case in point : Someone in CPF just put those blue Ultrafires in a parallel config into the Nitecore TM11. WTF?

Hi Jim

The body looks awfully long, is that a 5x18650 body? A 2s3p physical configuration might be easier to handle... Tặng kèm 5 pin sạc 18650.


Agreed with above. Go ahead and get decent batteries for this light since it will be pulling a lot of amps. I belive the trustfire flames ones are ok and reasonably priced.

Tail Cap Current Draw Comparisons With 2 X 18650's

solarforce 2400 mAh 2.46 amps

Trustfire Flames 2400 mAh 2.51 amps

Redilast 2600 mAh 2.5 amps

Hi-max 2600 mAh 2.51 amps

I ordered 6 TrustFire flames 2400mAh and Trustfire tr003 charger

What is the memory that everybody is refering to on the TR 3T6 etc....

Are they refering to lights that have 3,5,6 modes and a light that just turns on/off no memory

Memory, is when you turn off the flashlight in any mode, for example, strobe mode, and next time you turn on the flashlight, it will turn on on that mode (Strobe in this example case).

Thanks FX-32 ,I'm learning

it pays to drop the light to medium of low before you switch it off, so next time you turn it on, it will not blind you for a few seconds lolls

I also had problem with scratched head part on this flashlight from manafont and asked them to send me just replacement head part without lens/leds/driver etc... First they offered the usual 5$ coupon but after some negotiating they offered me substantial discount on buying again the same item. Replacement item was flawless...

It seems that your case is even worse and you should be persistent with them to solve your problem.

Yesterday got it atlast from Manafont,the packing was good with bubble wrap,measured with DMM,matched exactly with the one posted here by probably by Benkie,at Hight it draws-3Ah.

But has some flaws

1>Didn't got all the Orings,so if any one knows the specs of the Orings then plz inform.

as I have noticed there should be orings in 3 sizes,1st with Crown\Bezel(in front of Glass)(Big size) Part,2nd one(Med Size) the joining with neck to the battery compartment,rest of it perhaps 6 small.

I think Dx sells Flashlight Oringsin all sizes,I think it will be better to go for silicon Orings.I will also order some Silicon Based Gels.



2>My Crown is bent a little perhaps a blunt object is thrashed in the crown so paint got peeled out,any solution or from where I can purchase the crown part.I got some in Dx but perhaps those were other sizes,& even better if any one can find with attack head .

Beside that all things are fine.
