This looks VERY similar to the Uniquefire HS-802. Has anybody compared the two, side-by-side? Since the HS-802 has an R2 and the WF-008 is a Q5, you would think the R2 light would possibly have an advantage...?
I have
UF 008,
HS-802 and
Tiablo A9
UF 008 is smallest of them (much smaller than TA9 also)
HS 802 is much bigger than UF 008 and
TA9. It has huge head and probably deepest SMO reflector in world of led flashlights.
TA9 has much better quality and it is upgradeable with aspherical lenses.
MY OBSERVATIONS (with plenty of witnesses)
HS 802 easily out throws them, and have much tighter and brighter hotspot with some usable side spill. Even outthrows other popular brands like ledlenser and feniks & not to mention maglites (my friends have them in a comparison with 802 and they eat their guts out when saw this cheap chineese in action)
CONCLUSION
HS 802 is probably one of the best(if not best) and cheapest thrower in a world. It runs on 18650 battery(don't put CR 123 because it will burn) Build quality is better than on recoil UF 008. Even compared to Tiablo A9 is good (Tiablo is slightly better)
TIABLO W/ASPHERICAL LENSES
This above mentioned lights can not compete in throw with this TA9 mod that can easily throw well above 250 meters(even on 1 × 18650 battery). In fact 350 meters that I can see without binoculars (but not so bright just illuminates something) U will like this mode only if U R extreme sniper hunter that handles poor animals on big distances :tinfoil: or U like to burn your neighbours at night.
Mr. Lightforce has modded one and he claims that he can indetify target at 300 meters
I would like to have that but I am to stupid to mod...
P.S
Very important advices for UF 008
Although is much brighter on it(even brighter than Tiablo A9 w/stock head) DON'T EVER use 2×RCR 123 in UF 008 because driver will burn after some time using it. Use 18650 only if U want long life. But U will loose on brightness so it will throw like Tiablo A9 w/stock head.
TIABLO A9 VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Don't ever put batteries in reverse polarity because it will burn,burn,burn...
And also don't overreact with runtime. Be reasonable when using it.
(2 old creeps from 15 people I sold to did this So I had to order spare pills for TA9 to replace burned one)
. The Q5 and the R2 are both XR-E emitter. The R2 is just a higher flux-bin, so is a little bit brighter at the same current. But you can't compare those lights in this way as one of them is a recoil flashlight.
