I don’t think so… MT-G2 is all yellow…
I can’t find anything close to it on LB site…?
I’m just curious…
XM-L2(ish).
Given the spex, 1200lm, 1A draw, 7-9hr runtime, I wouldn’t trust it to be a legit XM-L2.
On the bright (haha) side, at least it doesn’t have “XML-T6” gouged into the side…

As a local brand of high-performance premium lights, it is not possible to sell a product that will result in large returns. For that reason, it is almost impossible to compete against cheap overrated lights that are so easily available online....
for what that chip probably is, and what you’re probably getting.

any of the specs could be wrong, including the ‘1A draw’.
i want to know if it can really use 26650. it’s huge, 26mm diameter, so it could.
and does it do PWM for this infinite dimming.
also how does that slide control work?
how do they waterproof that?
LED looks fake.
still thinking about it though

Slide control is usually magnetic. No openings required for that = waterproof. But, there are two ways to do a magnetic control driver. Both use the same Hall Effect sensor to sense the magnetic field. But the rest of the driver circuitry determines whether you get a simple on/off switching or an “infinite” dimming effect. Usually, with cheaper lights, you only get on/off switching.

It looks like this light:
DXM
The Starrylight-labeled one is not bad at all, but who know what is inside this one.
The Starrylight does have infinite dimming and unfortunately a very high parasitic drain when ‘off’. Easy to lock out at the tail though.
Gearbest used to have them for much cheaper, now also $20.

Even the reflector picture is photoshop, the whole yellow circle area has the same color code.

so in the end copied LED at low current 200-300 lumens
if current is high at best 800

I was going to say it looks like a Luminus SST-40 but, I don’t see the black dot.
