    Group buy for the Utorch UT01 (XPL) & Utorch UT02 (XHP-35 HI )

    One of each - 3D 5000K neutral white and 1A 6500K cool white. Both were ordered during the Chinese New Years break and both were shipped out after, on Feb/6/2017. The 5000K arrived about a week ago. The 6500K arrived today. Earlier models still had circuit boards marked as Manker E11 both...

    ROUNDUP Review - Lensed Zoomable 14500/AA Cheap Flashlights

    I was told about this "mod" by Lynx_Arc (in this thread) on how to fix the no/next mode memory, who said he got it off some forum himself. Thanks! most of these flashlights are < $2 - that's 1/10th the cost of what we normally think of as a "budget" flashlight at around $20! I realize they...

    ROUNDUP Review - Lensed Zoomable 14500/AA Cheap Flashlights

    Yes, short the capacitor by drawing graphite pencil line(s) between its terminals - the graphite pencil line(s) are conductive but somewhat resistive - so in effect the combination forms an R-C (resistor-capacitor) circuit - which is a timer. The line(s) allow the capacitor to discharge...

    ROUNDUP Review - Lensed Zoomable 14500/AA Cheap Flashlights

    Thank you so much for that input. Very interesting I'll have to look at some of the Coast and LED Lenser 1xAA lights. Not to take anything away from those suggestions - I find it simply mind boggling that these cheap zoomable/lensed 1xAA/14500 flashlights are <$2 delivered - can't see how...

    ROUNDUP Review - Lensed Zoomable 14500/AA Cheap Flashlights

    Thank you for the suggestion - yours is the second suggesting Coast - Seems like Coast is one of the few named manufacturers that produces lensed focusing flashlights. Thank you.

    ROUNDUP Review - Lensed Zoomable 14500/AA Cheap Flashlights

    Realize this has had pitiful amount of interest. Pity (ha-ha! pun-ny) because most of us regard a <$20 flashlight as "budget" - yet most of these zoomable 14500/AA lights were <$2! - 1/10th the cost of a budget light in fact all the cheapie lights totaled less than the price for a single...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) Just to be clear that Vander flashlight had next mode memory. I would have been quite happy with last mode memory, and would not have done the mod at all. The second and successful pencil mod gave it last mode memory, if the time...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) Still on my pursuit of lantern alternative - I did a low-ball bid on this: even though it says "Vander", the same looking light is also sold as UltraFire and possibly others. It came as a "kit with 18650 battery and charger - and I...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) Looking at the photo of my board more closely - that capacitor space is actually marked 1µF. Having done the mod I can more or less avoid seeing the strobe mode unless I want to deliberately switch to it, since turning off at Low now...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) I guess my capacitor may be a different (smaller) value? Because I used only two pencil lines, and got about <=2 secs reset time. 4 pencil lines probably had shorted the capacitor out - in my case the light wouldn't even turn on...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) Thank you so much! This worked for me. It took me 2 tries - at first I did 4 firm pencil lines between the terminals of that capacitor... and... when I put the light back together it wouldn't even switch on. I thought perhaps it...

    [EDITED] REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH)

    Re: REVIEW - Eveready ReadyFlex Floating Lantern (EVFL45SH) Thanks so much for the confirmation - I'll give that a try. That component being a capacitor seems to make sense - as drawing a pencil (graphite) line bridging the terminals would in effect give a resistor between them, forming a...

    "Lego" REVIEW - Jaxman E2 (bargain Nichia 219B highCRI) and Convoy S2+ 18350 body

    Re: "Lego" REVIEW - Jaxman E2 (bargain Nichia 219B highCRI) and Convoy S2+ 18350 body Thank you for the kind words. Yes, twistedraven's photos influenced my decision to purchase the Jaxman E2. I recently bought some IMR18350 to use with the Jaxman E2 on the 18350 body - instead of the smaller...
