I found this flashlight in ebay and some webpages, someone have tested it?

I don't will buy it because the price is expansive and the current draw only 7 amp, but I like it

appears to be like the DEFT with sst-90 , and the host appears to be like the Xtar D30 Howitzer 3xmce

Interesting. It appears to be relatively well made (decent machining, anno). And it loos like it uses a control ring.

The body definitely looks the same as first version of Xtar D30 Howitzer. So it might have the same problem with fitting protected 18650 batteries...

Moviles, that certainly looks an interesting light, but please re-post the photos when you have them properly hosted - they are hot-linked, which is not permitted.

Re: sst-90 monster with big aspherical lens

It looks like one of those typical "only available in China/Taiwan" flashlights that pop up on eBay all the time. They typically have overhyped specs and the sellers just scream out snake oil salesmen.

I'd steer clear based on reports here on things bought from other vendors in that part of the world that were not what the vendors claimed they were.

Re: sst-90 monster with big aspherical lens

Guys, those of you who know this stuff, can someone figure out from the specs if the 1800-2000 lumens are possible?

Thanks

George

No, I was thinking of the HID flashlights from China that are always on eBay when I posted that earlier comment. I'd put this LED light in the same general category as those not based on the type of light, but based on the fact that it only seems to be sold by the same type of vendor/seller and nowhere else.

Maybe I'm overly cautious but there's that pesky little voice in the back of my mind screaming out "steer clear" of those guys. Even the semi/somewhat reputable vendors from China like Deal Extreme have been caught red handed selling counterfeit merchandise by other CPF members. I don't know if these vendors are like that too, but it makes me wonder.

I don't question the light so much as I question the sellers/vendors. ;)

Since the sr90 has 2200 lumens with the same emitter I would definitely chalk this one up as "within the realm of possibilty".

Re: sst-90 monster with big aspherical lens

Looks very interesting but I'm always leery of the Hong Kong ebay sellers despite the overall good ratings. Also, it seems like the circuit is a bit inefficient considering the run-time at 7A.

Re: sst-90 monster with big aspherical lens

Well, I just wrote to them and asked them if they're interested in a review and if they are and give me a good price, I can have it sent to someone here to review it and then they can send it to me when they're done.

It's gonna be the only way we can test some of these lights and we may want to consider pitching in for some kind of fund for shipping for stuff like this. Someone interested in a light and wants to take a chance with it, buys it, has it shipped to someone capable of reviewing it (unless he/she can do it. In my case, I am not capable) and then that person ships it to the buyer and maybe the buyer can get reimbursed for the last shipping from the fund.

We could get a whole lot of lights tested this way.
