YLP sent me their newest light, the Unicorn 1.0. This is a single 18650 light, controlled by a backlit side switch, with a single LH351D behind a TIR.
I've finally posted my full review of this light! Some key takeaways:


  • Thermal throttling works as planned
  • The beam is fantastic
  • The magnetic tail is strong
  • Standby drain is a measly 21μA
  • The indicating LED alerts you at 3.7V (red and green), 3.4V (red) and at 2.5V the low voltage protection turns off the light entirely

Thanks for the review. Looks like the driver has good thermal regulation and efficient. Too bad no usb charge.

I prefer no integrated charging in lights actually - slot chargers tend to work better and I don't like the ports and rubber flaps. But I totally understand that some people find it convenient.

Thanks for reading!
