1. Something to do with poor camera setting, maybe exposure, or shutter speed that makes it appears as round shape in the picture (don’t know much about camera).
2. The light was not fully zoomed out yet.
3. The light was fully zoomed out, but the lens still sits on inaccurate position. This is also the problem found in my T20 as it comes stock.
I’d pick #2 or #3 :)… Re. #3, it could be this, but maybe they designed it purposely that way, so that when the light is “fully zoomed out” you get a round spot? I don’t know about others, but one of the things that really turned me off to zoomies was having the square beam when fully zoomed out.
Looking forward to reading a review on this light myself as well. This summer's been kind of expensive so I'm cutting back on any non-essential spending, but this light really caught my eye. I don't need another thrower that's brighter than my old 52-mm XR-E Mag-Mod, but the allure is inescapable.
With 2 26650 cells the UF-1405 throws exactly like my crelant G5 with collinator head. Both are stock. It is adjustable and square like the led at full zoom.
Picked it up at Shenzhen homesafety on alibaba for $17.50 plus shipping.
Website says t6 at 2.8 amps
I intend to try a dedomed U2 and boost amps to 5.
I will try to post some pics and beam shots.
that sounds rather impressive to me. i too, may have to give this light a go.
does it look mod friendly?
is it any brighter using 26650’s?
can you link us to the place where you purchased it from?
