Xeno flashlights

[Caroso]

I have been trying to find a place to buy flashlights from a Chinese manufacturer named Xeno or Xenoled.
Their website xenoled.com doesn't seems to work.
you can buy them from taobao.com if you're Chinese.

They have some really nice looking stainless steel lights and also some aluminum lights.

Now that is nice, i wouldnt mind adding one to my collection as well.....the Cube is something to be desired because its not round. Wonder how it would hold up in the palm of my hand and daily usage. I would never do that to a light that i own....glad to see it survived...lol.

 

[kyhunter1]

The cube has definitely got the anti roll thing going on!

 

[alfreddajero]

How in the hell do you change the battery out on the Cube.

 

[jamie.91]

How in the hell do you change the battery out on the Cube.

i guess the lanyard loop could fold out and give something to grip whils you turn the light and remove the switch assembley

but thats a guess lol

jamie

want 1 either way

 

[alfreddajero]

I figured that as well......i guess the other way would not be the best way....lmao.

 

[Nickyan]

Xeno doesn't sell in North America yet, I asked when I was in china earlier this year. They also don't plan on getting any dealers because the word was that the company want to sell the lights themselves.

I bought a few xeno, the e-09 was a good 1AA one-mode light with very warm led options for people who don't need much more than occasional light.

I also got the G5 which is very "c2" inspired but the latest version of it no longer is compatible with surefire. xeno currently only offers 3.6v modules and cannot use regular D26 modules because of the height of xeno's flashlight head is taller.

The quality of the anodization and fit/finish is great. Just need to get a distributor.

 

[QtrHorse]

I would have to honestly say the ano coating and machining of the XenoLed parts is as good or better than Surefire. At least the M2 clone head I have is and it does work with all my SF D26 drop-ins.

 

[horizonseeker]

the m2 clone head is made to work with surefire and the older version of Xeno G5. The later version of the "shock isolated head assembly" will no longer work with surefire even though the outer apperance is the same. The thread has been changed to square threads which cannot be used on surefires.

I agree with you on the quality of the anodization and they do a much better job on matching anodizing colors from head to body to tail caps.

WOW i like that Cube...:thumbsup:

But this sales site is not in English! Does anyone have another link?

 

[StarHalo]

I'll never understand these flashaholic lights that aren't available in the US - is there some huge population of flashaholics in China that buys them by the hundreds? Is the manufacturer not aware of CPF and the sales potential, or the size of the US economy in general?
