Received this extra gift.

Fit and finish on both lights are excellent!

HAIII finish is excellent, No visible flaws,

A great value for the price!!

I haven't had much time to check out these lights. I just received the lights 2 hours ago.

My " HuntLight Family "

nice pics... how does the ft02x compare to say... the fenix p1? E1L?

-david

I do not have an E1L but I have a Fenix P1.

To my "naked eye" the FT02X edges out the P1 at a distance.

Damn those look like great lights for the money. Thanks for the review.

Cheers

Is there a belt pouch for the FT02X or your FT-01? They've had it listed in all the descriptions I've read, but I've yet to see one.

Have you broken down the head on the FT02X? Curious if it would be as easy an emitter swap as the FT-01 looks.

Very nice lights! I especially like the FT02X. I'm interested to see the light torn apart also (separated into its sections).
From looking at the beamshots, the FT01 looks brighter than the FT02X. Is this correct?

They look awesome, how is the runtime and regulation? is it HA3?

Just purchased my Huntlight FT-A3 from Jon. Pretty excited about it. I haven't seen a production light with this much output before.

The FT02X is supposed to come with a belt pouch but I did not receive one.

Haven't broke down the FT02X yet. Might try later.

I haven't done any runtimes. Not sure about the regulation.

Both lights are HAIII with no noticiable flaws in coating.

I will take apart the light after I get back from work and take some pictures.

The FT01 looks a little brighter. I have the first generation FT01, lower output.

The FT-03 seems a little brighter than the Fenix LOP, nothing to be excited about.

What's the runtime on the FT-A3?

Don't want to hijack your thread, but I'm curious to hear your experience with the FT-A3. I recently picked one up from seriouslights.com.

On mine, overall brightness is about 10% more than the L0P (which I also own). Similar to your pics, my FT-A3 has a slightly broader main beam, and slightly greater intensity spill (although total spillbeam dimensions are roughly the same, like yours). However, the peak centre throw is a little less than the L0P, so the overall lightbox reading only comes out about 10% more.

It terms of runtime to 50%, I get 32mins on Duracell alkaline, 29mins on Powerizer 850mA NiMH rechargeables, 32mins on Energizer 900mA NIMH, and 56mins on Energizer e2 lithium (L92). Note that although alkaline runtime is comparable to the L0P, the NiMH and L92 is considerably less than others here have reported for the L0P (and which I have confirmed in my own testing).

Despite the lower performance on NiMH, I must say my FT-A3 has a beautiful beam. Definitely the brightest AAA I've ever seen. The finish on mine is also very nice - sturdier looking than the Fenix, with a glossier finish (not as matte as the Fenix). I've EDC it on my keychain for a couple of weeks now, and am very happy with it - very scratch resistant. My wife carries the L0P, in case you were wondering.

Again, sorry if this is bad etiquette to post my results here, but I didn't think it was worth starting a whole new thread since you already had the ball rolling.

selfbuilt - What are your runtime numbers for the L0P? According to FLR, the L0P reached 50% in 32min on alkaline which seems equal to your numbers.

ersanada - thanks, I forgot you have the previous version FT01. If you want to take a look at the newer version FT01, let me know, I'm not too far from you.

Oooooh yeaah!!! Can't wait till my FT-02x comes in... Hope it's not a 3 week wait like when I ordered my FT-01 from Seriouslights .... It'll be about same price as my Fenix L2P and CR123a body combo but with a bigger head, 3watt emitter, and built in clip... My Fenix L2P w/ CR123a body will of course be the more compact single cell clickie...

I'd just realized I'll have a family plethora of lights and all for less than the price of single certain surefires ( i may just get one in the future just to say i have a surefire, or maybe not)....

Light module cam be unscrewed from the relector.



Back of light module. Potted.

Selfbuilt,

I really like the design and HAIII is flawless on my FT-A3.

I agree with you on the brightness, I say about a 10% increase compared to the LOP.

Thanks for the runtimes!

I never get around to do runtimes because I always get another light to mess around with.

Got my lights from HuntLight, 7 days to Socal!
