So I finally broke down and got 3 different flashlights during the Aliexpress sale. They are the first LED flashlights that I got. And the first one to arrive in amazing fashion (all the way from China), was the Hugsy XP-1 and for one AAA battery this thing is nice!
Thought I would try the older Zeusray EDC100 based on the comparison/review of the EDC120 here (Review: Zeusray EDC120).
On “special” from Dealmetic. Anyway it arrived and things seem to have gone downhill. Uses the newer lower current JBS42 driver (from the EDC120) and poor quality springs on both ends. Not even drawing 2 Amps.
I got my 3 engraved ones today and man are these awesome little lights :bigsmile: One a beautiful even flood, two with noticeable hotspots but still great. Did a 1 hour test on AAA alkie, warm but no problem. 600mA Trustfire 10440 got fairly hot in a few minutes but still useful runtime and a LOT of light. Exterior finish is impeccable. Switches a little gritty feeling but won’t activate inadvertently, not the easiest to push but fine. Deep carry clip fits over blue jean pocket seam, is attached very firmly and has good holding power. Clip does rub the tube when opening for cell insertion so lift or pad it when turning.
Not a bad little light, gotta do something about the cold white emitter. :) She draws just a shade over 2 amps on a 14500!
Also got in the parts for my first triple. It is an S2 with a Noctigon XP-G2 S3 3C set of emitters. OMG is it bright, kinda like the flood from it. My hunting buddy field dressed a deer with it the first evening I had it completed! :) :)
The same to you!I would like to here about others orders, what they got and how everything went. I think everyone would benefit from seeing what others received, or get some ideas for future orders or get someones initial impressions on their items.
