Decent quality 18650 headlamp? (don't need the batteries and charger)
Neutral white Nitecore HC30 please!
can you send me the lick from site
http://m.everbuying.net/product1101669.html
That isn't the neutral white version though but it doesn't look like it is available on the site. I'd be happy with the standard version for the right price though
@ebosh: I will ask the company to do special price for you. i will let you know as soon as i get reple.
a lick ? It's not that sort of site. :P
Whats the mobile site link?
Thanks you! :D
How do we do the EB Points discount?
That will automatically applied when you checkout. Make sure you login before you add to cart.
I love torches! What's the real lumens on this one though :)
Chinese lumens to real lumens might be 10:1. i.e. It might 220lm if you compare this with a branded product.
Look at the following 430 real lumens torch and compare with this one.

Thanks! Seems more legit
I think they tested one its running at about 1.5 amps at the tail cap so maybe 350 lumen.
but some of these have lattice brights in them and not real Cree emitters so expect less output then!
Eh, it might be 5-600. The problem with the focusing lights is that the output from the emitter isn't transmitted well at all. You would be better off with a light that has a range of outputs from low to high. CPF, BLF and r/flashlight are all good sources of info. A convoy s2+, a good 18650 and a Miller single cell charger would all be under $25 and would be so much better than this it isn't funny
yea millers are cheap maybe $5 on sale but some models where overcharging depending on the version… you can usually pick up a xtar cheap also even a baby Nitecore like a 2 port I2 or a UM20…
I bought a Miller charger but was so disappointed it doesn't fit protected cells
I bought an exact looking torch from EBay, advertised as a T6, but it doesnt actually have a XMLT6 Led. Can you guarantee this has the proper Led? Which should be the brightest commercially available 10w LED
They have a photo of the xm-l emitter, which usually is what you get, but as for the T6 bin - no chance.
Cheap 18650 batteries are potentially dangerous
Where is the warnings?
You can use AAA Battery.
who is going to use aa batteries when you supply cheap and nasty 18650
Product advertises fake lumens also
So definitely neg worthy
Yes you are.
@b-radicool: Mate he has a valid point people should not be playing around with lithium ions do some thing wrong and you burn your house down or the battery blows up in your hand!
especially when they usually supply a cheap charger and battery that are always dangerous!
thanks OP .. ordered one.
lets hope they ship soon.
2200 Lm - Seems legit. That's about equivalent to the brightness of the bulb above our PM's head when it comes to the NBN, right?…
the bulb above the PM's head is alas, an older-style incandescent light bulb, as opposed to a more energy efficient LED one, so it might actually be a lot dimmer than you think.
Like the pm… Rofl, dimmer than you think…
These batteries can be cycled well if you totally discharge them and leave charging overnight
It will help increase the batteries capacity
So remember its always best to discharge them completely
So charge them initially for at least 24 hours and then let them run completely dead in torch and repeat cycle
IF you do this a few time you will have conditioned the batteries
DONT use with aaa as you will only get around 200 lumens
Everything this idiot says is wrong. Total discharge will kill li-ion. They like to be kept topped up. (though lower voltage for long-term storage may help). Needs a smart-charger which is voltage-limited, so 24 hrs is pointless.
And 200 lumens is still plenty. Beats my old 3D Maglite, which was the bees knees back in the day.
And 200 lumens is still plenty.
Plenty for you, you mean? It's piss weak compared to most mid-range torches nowadays.
200 lumens is considered OK for a compact (fit-in-your-pocket) flashlight. It's hard to get 200 lumens out of a flashlight that's supposed to only take 1x 18650 battery or 3 AA cells. You also have to consider heatsinking — the more power you feed into the emitter, the more heat you have to deal with.
I have 420 lumens bike lamp, however it takes two 18650's which is noticeably bulkier and the lamp does get warm. The heatsink on it is bulky too.
Sure there are 400 lumen 'lightsabers' out there but it's not going to be as small or lightweight as this, when you take into account thermal design.
For odd jobs, 200lm is plenty. 1000lm is about the benchmark these days for edc lights and that is only slightly more than double the perceived output of 200lm.
It depends on the task. I have a thousand-lumen bike light, 2000 room-light, but even 200 is too much for some things, e.g. close-up work when camping.
It's hard to get 200 lumens out of a flashlight that's supposed to only take 1x 18650 battery
LOL. I have single 18650 torches that put out around 1600 lumens and a dual 18650 that puts out 2650 lumens so I have no idea what you are talking about.

Most of my single 18650 torches are smaller!

Only by the blind.
I have single 18650 torches that put out around 1600 lumens
A single Cree xml-t6 LED puts out 692 lumens at 3.2V and 2000mA, from the datasheet. Your 1600 lumen torch would need at least two LEDs, more likely three to push out 1600 lumens. At that output level, you would be drawing 5 amps from a single 18650, working out to more than 15 Watts.
Many small soldering irons are in the 15-20 Watt range. Their barrels exceed 300 degrees. Can you see why your claim is hard to believe?
I have an EDC torch that consumes just 3 watts, and it gets uncomfortable to hold, it gets so hot if used continuously.

Blah blah blah lots of waffle about old emitters…..
1600 lumens from a single emitter - http://www.banggood.com/BLF-A6-CREE-XPL-1600LM-7-4modes-EDC-…
Pulls over 5A with the spring bypass mod.

What does a soldering iron have to do with a torch! LOL.

So what, I have plenty of torches that consume a lot more than 3 watts.
@scrimshaw: my edc pen light with a cri over 90 puts out approximately 200 lumens from a single AAA.
It is also metal, not chesp crap.
Yeah, lithium is different to the old Nicd. That being said, a complete cycle down to 5% capacity can be good, but not so easy to measure in a torch. So cheap these days anyway, so who cares really
Not only will total discharge kill the cell, if you then try and charge it in a charger that isn't up to scratch it will try and kill the room it is being charged in
you're a bit late for April fools
If you over-discharge a lithium cell it grows shards inside the battery which causes blockages inside the cell leading to much pressure build up and then it vents either by blowing up or by catching on fire.
Do not discharge lithium cells below 2.8 volts. 4.2-2.8 volts this is a usable spectrum of energy from a lithium cell you will get full MAH usage after this mark it will produce no usable energy!
usually 3.0 volts is cut of for protected cells varies between brands.
some and only some cells like IMR can be drained to 2.5 volts.
Over-charging and over-discharging is not only dangerous it will also shorten the life of the cell same as with eneloops this extra stress will produce heat and wear and tear on any cell.
Excellent my plan worked since my original warnings were negged into oblivion since posting
My above fake guide on how to charge these batteries now people have posted in regards to the dangers
I backed you up :)
@aussieprepper:
That's why I gave you plus +
Anyway my neg was removed even though it was based in this stupid deal posting lying specifications and not giving any notice or warning about the dangers of 18650 batteries
Question - how many people or groups can be successfully sued if this deal causes a house fire, injury or loss of life??? I could name a few suspects but won't.
Thanks for the censorship
@thelastnoob: yea some lads on BLF took one of these apart and it has a lattice bright LED inside not even a Cree so expect the specs to be worse.
the specs are always a lie unless its ANSi rated i guess usually OTF lumen but in this case its imagined lumen count lol
yea i always try and inform people of dangers of batteries.
Wait for feedback
WARNING
Everbuying ARE GearBest.
They've a reputation and far from being a positive one.
Without bagging them out, I'll allow you to establish your own opinion and invite you to google it.
Also, there is NO WAY this torch is 2,200 lumens!
To begin with it is the XM-L LED, XM-L2 has been out for several years now.
Even the XM-L2 will only manage 1,200 lumens at best considering at this price, there's no way it's a copper sinkpad, nor heatsink.

This is the same light that you see spammed on google analytic's ad's about being a soon to be withdrawn military specced light.
I've owned one from Jaycar, it didn't last long.
My cheaper Chinese made lights on the other hand, are still going!
Thank you
My neg was removed even though I mentioned this deal was based on FALSE specs and also mentioned about the dangerous batteries included
Gearbest are banned here. Will that be done for everybuying as well else they will change the name again?
Any suggestions on next Coupon Code?
