REVIEW: UKing ZQ – X900 600Lm Zooming Flashlight (#3 type Zoomie) picture heavy!

Cross-reference, this is basically the generic light called the “#3 zoomie” in the compilation
thread title:
Under $10, 1x AA/ AAA/ 10440/ 14500 flashlight reference

They’ve swapped the slider piece with the grid texture and the one with the parallel groove texture.

Several more versions discussed at: Rustu XL-03 mini zoom Sipik 68 replacement - review and mod

Couple of notes:
— There’s probably a pill in it, if you take a tiny drill and put holes in the aluminum ring around the white plastic press-in thing that covers the LED wire solder points.
Then turn that and it will probably unscrew (or if they made it press fit, they’ve found a way to make these even cheaper)
Either way, you’ve got to be able to get the LED and driver out to improve this thing, the same way they got them into the body of the light. Find that and reverse it.

— When you lift up the white plastic press-in thing, then lift up the LED board and you’ll see what’s under it, if anything. If by any chance they’ve got a solid plane there with some thermal goop, that would be, well, astonishingly good. Odds are you’ll find a big hole and be able to see the driver, behind there.

— As with all versions of the #3 zoomie, you take the slidey part off (you do this by first removing the “pill”) then carefully file off the not-the-lens end a bit, that will let it slide a bit closer into the body and move the lens that much closer to the emitter — giving you a much wider floodlight without losing anything on the spot zoom side.
