New Trustfire Z1 XP-E

[dealgrabber2002]

Looks very nice and small. But I am waiting for an AA (if they make one). Looks quite well made and inexpensive. Too bad it doesn't have a low low mode. I just thought you guys might like it.

Enjoy!

without a headband it doesn't make much of a headlamp.

Oops, you are right. I mistakenly thought it was a headlamp. I will edit the title.

Mod, please move to LED section, thanks.

I wouldn't buy this light for headlamp capabilities...that's just a bonus (I have a headband at home) as what I appreciate the most about this form factor is the forward facing LED while pocket clipped. The DX knockoff appears to have a nice attached clip that would allow for pocket carry. This is why I'm interested in getting the zebralight H31 and using it as my EDC with the included pocket clip. I may pick up this DX version because I love the idea of a forward facing LED while pocket clipped, though the lack of a real low mode really turns me off.

Note: above comments also posted in zebralight thread.

Order placed... .stay tuned for impressions:twothumbs Hopefully it is a click switch and not an electronic switch as I have had problems with the latter.

I am starting to favor the molle / crimp-neck form. We'll see how well it stacks up against the MC10 and H501.

Looking forward for your review buddy.

Very interested in this cool looking little task light.

Waiting for your review to see if its practical with a 100 lumen minimum.

I hope we see more lights with this design, I personally would love to own a light like this if it was done right and wasn't too expensive.

What other lights are out there like this that aren't too pricey?

Only other one I can think of is the fenix mc10, and thats still pretty pricey.

Although not the same, from the pictures it looks like the new ITP headlamps are using a similar idea. They appear to have clips on them that would also allow for them to be clipped to jackets and shirt pockets etc.

The MC10 and zebralights are the only ones I know, but they'll still set you back $50+

Steramlight has the sidewinder and sidewinder compact, but they are not as bright as any of the lights mentioned thus far. (Still though I want to try one of those out too). The ITP AAA headlamp can be removed and used as a molle attachment.

I ordered one last week.i will post when it arives! It will be unique to me.Seems like a logical design.
I do wish it was 3 mode with a 2 lumen low,but I will still like it and find it useful.
I plan to use it at 100 with a burst feature.

I just got shipping notice today.
12 days to process and ship? I was starting to check the mailbox.:sick2:

I got my shipping notice and HKP tracking number yesterday too.
DX processed my order quickly, in 2-3 days. DX had a material shortage from the manufacturer. They updated my order tracking page about a weeks ago with this information.
