Ultrafire UF-T70 Triple XM-L

Here's mine:

I've made a few light boxes and will post some readings when mine comes.

The Flashlight Gods were good to me today! Unfortunately, I won't be able to try this out until tomorrow :(

Congrats luvlites, glad you got yours :) Mine hasn't moved from Jamaica since it got there on the 1st. This pisses me off :(

You can buy a 5 kilo brick of weed from Hong Kong now???

link please

YEAH!!! Bethpage, NY! My last package electronically sat their for about a week until it showed up in my mailbox. haha

Looks like my UF-T70's going to be delivered today along with my iCharger 106B!

Great news Glenn. Get those batteries charged so you don't make us wait for your impressions. Also, I found making the battery carrier mod on this torch makes it a bit easier to use 3100 cells. It doesn't require it nearly as badly as the DRY did, but it does make it easier to load and unload the higher capacity 18650's.

I did the mod on my dry. It fits 18700's no problem now :) The mailman should be here in about 90 minutes. The waiting is killing me!

It came! It's built much better than the Dry, and seems to be as bright so far. I'll test it tonight outside. There's absolutely no battery rattle! Feels more secure in the the hands. As you can see it's quite a bit bigger than the Dry. I'm freaking happy!

Glad to see you finally have it. Are you sure though, that it's as bright as the DRY? I doubt that, honestly. But am glad for you!

The Dry has a larger hot spot at about the same brightness shinning on a white wall about 10 feet away. I know this isn't a way to compare, I'll do that outside tonight. So far I'm thrilled with it.. BTW, I weighed both of them on my digital scale. The Dry is 476 grams with batteries, and the UF-T70 is 673 grams also with batteries

Hi XED,

Here is my first mouse-over post I made from yesterday comparing the beam from my DRY NW with the Ultrafire UF-T70.

they do look pretty close. Thanks rich.

Also, how did you measure the current draw on the T70 please?

With the tail cap removed and the battery carrier loaded in the body, I used my DMM and simply touched both soldered connections where the switch attaches to the board. Tapping one of the leads switches modes and it doesn't make a difference which side you place the leads on.

Great! will try when I get back. You got 2.5A, i believe?

I got 2.5a on high using Redilast 2600's and something like 2.40a on high using brand new Redilast 3100's. Hope this helps.

This light is AWESOME!!!!

FWIW I've attached a plot of reported lumens versus measured lux for my lights from my shoebox lightbox. Of course it's not a calibrated integrating sphere and I'm using a luxmeter that you can buy on Amazon for $13.32 ( http://www.amazon.com/Light-Meter-LX1010B-Luxmeter-display/dp/B000JWUT6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331259688&sr=8-2 , but I think it does a decent job of quantifying relative brightnesses. Using the key at the right you can see how the lights stack up against each other and from the regression formula, my estimated lumens for this light is 2100.

EDIT: Updated the regression model and plot with 2400 reported lumens per UltraFire website (as opposed to 2500 from hkequipment) which improved the R-squared and slightly lowered estimated lumens to 2100.

Glad you got your light today! I love mine!!!! Was it wrapped the same way?
