TrustFire TR-J12 Flashlight 5 * CREE XM-L T6 LED 5-Mode 4500

$90.00 seems like a lot of light for the money does any one have one and what are your thoughts on it.i been lurking here for a few months now and this is my first post and i have learned a lot from cpf thanks

It can be had for $70 on DX. It does look very interesting, 7.5A total output is like the SR3800 but with 2 more emitters (1.5A to each), so hopefully a lot of output with minimal heat issues. I would guess around 2750-3000 lumens OTF if it is in line with the SR3800 which is around 1700. The option to use 26650's adds more power capacity too.

I'll be interested to hear reports from others on construction quality, regulation (assuming buck with all three XM-Ls in parallel), effectiveness of the mode memory, and longer term reliability before I buy one though.

Like most lights that come from DX.. I'd wait for a few reviews before I spent $$$ on a light from DX.. a lot of them look good on paper, but people have problems with them.. it seems like quite a few XM-L lights from DX tend to burn out quickly due to poor heat management..

I just recieved this monster:

I'm on the way to work now but measure tailcap etc tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get some iPhone beamshots tonight if anyone's intrested
89$ from KD, 5day shipping... DX would probably take 5weeks hehe
I'm expecting 2500lm OTF..

Thanks....do remember to charge the cells up all the way till 4.2V and use some good cells. If you use lousy cells you would actually get higher current.

Thanks HB021.
Sit down side by side 2100 and still waiting for your review :thumbsup:

Get some pics of the head and tell us if it's a drop in or screw in.

I'm at work right now so don't have much time trying to loosen the head completely but it appears to be a screw in and reflector feels glued in, couldn't unscrew it. Here's some pics(90m to wall):

Edit: yes beamshots have slightly different angles but had to move around for other trucks
Btw using 3x trustfire flames 18650 2400mAh right now, my 26650 hasn't arrived yet. 18650 filler that was included works fine and it feels solid and of good quality.

I can't see any pics?

Pics work for me.

Thanks very much OP! Looks real good. Looking forward to more pics and opinions. Might have to buy this light myself

I still can't see any pics.
Maybe my location of ISP host (Southeast Asia)

Anyone posts link of these pics please.

Sorry I'm on my iPhone at work so I can not use imageshack etc :-(
Btw I've got a quad XML U2 @ 3A I can compare it too, as fast as I fixed it though hehe, dropped it and my poor soldering was broken :-(
I'll stop by at a field and take some beamshots on the way home 4,5h from now though I'll compare it to car and other XML lights.

OK I see now (via proxy) :thumbsup:

Thank you.

Remember that this is iPhone camera, it's lens is too small to capture the light in darkness it's brighter to the eye...

200w HID:


I didn't measure how far away those trees are but I'm guessing they're ~250m away, whole field is 700m and only HIDs travels across. The beampattern is very floody in the 5xT6 but who actually needs 300+?

nice post! although i wished you had a better camera

Would you recommend this light then?

Yea I think I would but ill to try it out some for before I'm going to recommend it, also I need to repair it now:

Held it outside window using it as driving lights hehe, never noticed it cracking dunno if it was the cold or some tiny stone I didn't hear or feel....doh!

ooo ouch! sorry to see that happen! maybe it was a stone that chipped and broke it? It cant be that cold, or?

The wind probably made too much noise that I didn't hear gravel hitting the glass, dunno tbh. Now I've got try to find a replacement glass...
