Thanks for the recommendation,  I think I will go for the cheaper one. Haha.
Is the t10 available locally?

Best way to buy t10 is by their store or their amazon store

Just wanna share that the Nitecore TM16 and the Olight M2X-UT are selling for US$118 and $66 respectively at the moment at Gearbest.
I don't think you can find anywhere cheaper, unless you buy bulk from the factories

Gearbest
ugh

It sure is cheap
I ordered a Nitefighter L1A because Gearbest had the cheapest stuff

But they just had to do the trick of saying "out of stock" when the website is clearly saying "in stock"

Well at least they updated the website the moment they replied the message that I send sweat.gif

Finally got my Sky Ray Kung XM-L2 U2 7 x CREE arrived.

I am very impress by this USD$39 torch. Not having high expectation as I just wanted to test out some cheap light given the over rated 7x LED, turn out the built quality and light output is brighter than anything I owned. Combining all my light, this light outshine then all and for the cost, I am speechless. Comparing to my friend previous model Sky Ray 7x T6, is no contest at all. Haven't try with the TM nitecore and fenix similar light though. Highly recommend for bro who on a budget and want to get high lumens.

Bro, not a tech flash guy, how do I identify solid pill vs hollow?
For PWM high mode not visible but low light there is slight.

ah sad... pwm

oh well
to identify solid or hollow, leave it on high for less than one minute and you'll be able to feel warmth
that's the crude way to test


to make sure then you disassemble the front and pry the LED board to see if its hollow sweat.gif

hey widget

I was wondering if you are able to check/create tickets in Gearbest because that website is messed up with lots of bugs

Was planning to claim a refund for my orders as they said there is no stock

Probably most obvious different is design. But then there is so many clone of clone.
Some are good and some are bad. Very depend on luck when ordering this lights.

Welp. Just got my Nitefighter L1A

Good light but I just had bad luck with it.
Gone through under some rain and the O Ring just sank into the reflector and I had a terrible time prying the light open, scratching the light and the reflector badly just to get the o ring away from the LED

In the process I broke the LED star and dedome the XPE and it looked great but then the XPE cracked and died from the LED star

Next I swapped an XML2 T6 3B into it to get rid of the ugly ringy reflector beam. Good Light.
Then it flickers and stopped lighting up. So I pry the light up again and the reflector grabbed the XML2 dome off, pulling the whole LED die apart tearing the bond wires.

It's dead now. Quality light just died from some weird flashlight curse. Wasted my pricy XML2 T6 3B. Never get to use it at all.

Right now I'm just having another XPE inside as I kinda gave up modding it.


Gonna just spam some pics

Those P60 styled are classic, evergreen.
Any more classic, and you need to go back to Maglite 2x D cell light  biggrin.gif

I think I'm done buying normal light, and should start looking at custom light.
Btw, looking only

ooohhhoho custom can be cheap but expensive too notworthy.gif


with all these p60 mods I've played on this host alone (failed and success) it easily shoots beyond the price of a fenix pd35


Talk about Maglite, I happen to have a fake 3D maglite modded with a standard MR16 3W module. And it's been staying as my weapon in my car.

Incans are best but I got bored of its ugly beam profile so this had to go.

I got this MR16 3w for around RM8 shipped from fasttech if I'm not mistaken. Aliexpress sells them cheaper though.

Still maintaining the alkalines as it has more weight than a pair of 26650. Plus I'm direct driving 3 of the puny 1W LEDs inside parallel.

Easy power with easy brightness. More than enough to blind people. (Estimated 180-330 lumens)

user posted image

Really floody for this light. Clean beam and still visible even under 4pm sunlight

user posted image

I really liked how it served me very well inside my car. The classic weight of it makes me confident that I could break a skull or two if I hit someone with this.
Plus with that brightness I could blind someone and drive away if needed.

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Sep 30 2015, 12:43 AM)
Guys I might pull the trigger on the zebra light sc52 due to the side and it using 1 AA battery only. Any other alternatives to consider? biggrin.gif

I'll be using my Eneloop XXX

Or the older brother SC600 is worth the jump in price? biggrin.gif
*
SC52 is using an old XML emitter
you might need to consider something brighter since you are only using eneloops (plus zebralight is kinda pricy like $60? and the SC600 is like $90? rclxub.gif sweat.gif )
Not to forget the SC600 is an 18650 light. Not an AA or AAA light

I'm not sure what do you like about the Zebralight but I would suggest Thrunite Archer 1A V2
You can get it in cool white or neutral white (cool white in XPL but neutral would be XPG2 in around 4C tint)
Plus it is much more affordable in price and it has a very useful ultra low moonlight mode for night time use.

Other alternatives would be Nitecore EA11 as it has useful additional modes to play/showoff/use
Also this has a battery charge indicator in case you wanna check for voltage.

Choose your poison. I'd suggest thrunite as their customer service is excellent. thumbup.gif

Thanks. I think I changed my mind, prefer more flood type but a good throw distance is welcomed too.

Prefer AA because of convenience and the hopefully there's a good or around RM100 to RM150  as I will rarely use it smile.gif

What do you think about the Fenix E20 or E25? Both is RM 150 smile.gif
*
I might be a bit late to talk about Fenix E20 or E25 but the Thrunite Archer 1A V2 or 2A V2 is a killer over these Fenix lights.
Fenix recently had an issue with their poor anodization. I would trust the Thrunite over Fenix for its durability and mode spacings

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Sep 30 2015, 11:59 PM)
I think I'll stick with the Zebralight SC52 as I can't find anything better for RM220. Talking about the size, intensity and also being able to use a single AA battery smile.gif

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...5&hl=zebralight

Even the Amazon page is more expensive, not to mention the price of the newer SC52W.

Btw, not too sure whether to take the W version or not hmm.gif
*
I forgot, have you considered Olight S15 hmm.gif brows.gif

are you getting them from gadgetworld2u?

go try out then XD flex.gif laugh.gif

warm and cool is hard to choose especially when you are considering indoor vs outdoor

I personally go all cool for urban concrete but warm for grassy nature walk

May I know how's the flood capability of the Zebra Sc52? Better than others?

I read that the flood angle is 80 and hot spot is 12? Not sure if this is better than most or not.

Prefer flood type actually but if this flashlight is kinda balanced between the two types it's pretty ok with me too smile.gif
*
honestly I'd just tape scotch tape to make a full flood mule light if ever needed but the flood on zebralight are generally wide and useful for walking distance so it's ok.
