Review: UniqueFire R5

As long as you run it at 4.2V it ought to be fine. 8.4V it can't cope with. And the body is one of the best. Personally, I'm not keen on the styling, but it is very, very well made. I suspect the Seraph comes out of the same factory. One of Nailbender's dropins will work just fine. Irather fncy his 2xXP-G R5 and it isn't that expensive.

No idea if it's Surefire compatible as I'm not crazy enough to spend that sort of money on parts. It quite probably is. Certainly any P60 dropin will work. Will probably keep the (now single mode) dropin in it as it is still pretty bright - just single mode.

Well let us know how the new dropin works out....might just get it for the body.

Thanks, I see the spam is gone.....

But manual removal is going to be a pain for our administrator. I'd be willing to help since I seem to be awake at different times. The folkd.com spam seems to appear mostly 7-11am UK time.

I just blocked a HUGE range of IP addresses, which is obviously just a stop-gap. I'm still researching best-practice methods for Spam abuse and management. And many thanks to all who have offered to help remove it, I would be happy to have you guys help once I get the infrastructure in place. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to help with this site. Meanwhile sorry for the hassles...

Its all good man......just put a thread up asking for qualifications on being a mod.....give them the power to remove and delete.

Hey, thanks again for offering, I'll probably take you up on the offer, I'd trust you guys with admin password! It just irritates me that ANYONE should have to manually delete this junk. I'm looking for a way to try to reduce the actual amount of spam posts that appear. Meanwhile I'll go through deleting the rubbish morning and evening.

Hey it would help you and the forum out.....and its just a suggestion. And please dont think that im suggesting myself......because i rather enjoy being part of this forum as a member.

You're absolutely right, it would be a huge help. I'll try to get around to doing it soon. But if I can find a way to actually reduce the spam posts that would be great, I'd prefer to see you guys enjoying yourselves posting sweet beamshots rather than deleting pharmaceutical links.

Yes i do know what you mean......thats the admins job....lmao.

I don't even have a decent camera to post those amazing shots that you guys are posting. The least I can do is zap some spam.

Hey as long as it takes pics right......that should be good enough.

It doesn't really. We're talking about a 5 year old chinese camera that cost me $40. It's only good for infinity shots of scenery, produces worthless blurry images of anything up close. I suppose it's time for me to get another budget camera for this budget flashlight user....

Found a review on CPF here:

I swapped out the drop in for a xm-l. Its a solid light and the xm-l should appreciate the extra heatsinking.
