I got a very similar flashlight.. Bought it from ebay.. 9£ with shipping.. Chinese cloned version of mc10 I think. Actually feels solid and well built, but no memory and the grip got silicone overlay, no defuser.. Fenix is great.. Love my tk20.. My zebralight is also great, but the switch turns on to easy.. Sold my led lensers, I was not impressed..
@X4CTO I was suspicious about the mc10 build quality before I bought this clone.. I have only seen pictus of it.. It so ugly that it actually looks cool. The multi angle head worried me enough that I didn't buy the original.. I may also buy the original now.. Especially if they make a 18650 version with xml led.. This design very is practical.. Magnetic bace works great combined with multi angle head.. Maybe a zoom head wouldn't be a bad idea on this lights big brother..
@X4CTO DealExtreme claims that the the cloned version got 310lumen with 14500 batteries.. I wouldn't even try it out.. Heat sink is way to small and the reflector is led lenser style only with flat front.. It expect it to have around 125-140 lumen with AA.. The output is not that far away from my tk20.. The strobe is brighter.. Maybe close to 200lumen.. Definitely a great gift for 7-9£.
I have never shopped at DealExtreme... not for me to be honest.
I don't much like Amazon either. I have some other outlets from which I get my discounted goods, haha... helps to have friends in the industry too I must say. =)
Looks like theres alot going on for such a small flashlight, nice and funny review, thanks :D!
Got me interested in this flashlight, looks like perfect all rounder for beginner, looking to buy my first quality LED light and this one seems really versatile. I take function over form any day, and this flashlight looks really beautiful ;)
One question tho, hows the clicky-angling mechanism, is it holding well together or has it worn out?
Yes there is indeed... it's a good little light with some good features in my opinion.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate that. =)
It's very versatile and very well built for sure... all my Fenix lights have been great, never a problem with a single one of them in fact.
The ratcheting angle head mechanism is still holding up well... it's just a little bit broke in I would say, but by no means has it developed play... very robust mechanism. I like it quite a bit overall!
Absolutely! Great little light for certain applications... I reach for this light when working on the car or under cabinets, desks, etc... very versatile light.
Yeah I just noticed the tailcap lockout feature by accident the other day... pretty nice little extra feature.
You're welcome... and thank you for watching it! =)
I've been waiting on purchasing a light because I was waiting for something to really stand out. I often go backpacking and wanted something versatile for cooking at night, reading in the tent, general lighting, etc. I have a headlamp already but wanted a good backup with many options. With this I can set it on a table, clip it to my pants, or even hang it from the tent. Ordering now!
Nice... I think you will like it for the tasks you mentioned. I have used it extensively for working around my carport and on my car, etc. Provides a good amount of light and a small and portable package... it's built really good too. I think you will be happy with the light. This one can also be used as a headlamp with certain headbands that are available out there... like the one by Nite Ize for example.
Yeah I can definitely see the benefit of the simple one mode lights... that's one of the reasons you'll find me carrying the Streamlight Stylus Pro a lot... simple on and off, nothing else. I love my LD01 because it has three simple modes, high, med, low and that's all you need in an EDC light, if that.
For an outdoors light or self defense light I do like to have a strobe and maybe an S.O.S. and/or beacon mode too... but not for an EDC light.
I remember your review of this light... one of the videos that made me want to try it out!
I love this little light for when I am working on stuff under the sinks, or when I am working on my car... works very well when you need a little light to sit around and give you some area lighting.
wow...that really is a doofy looking light. i wouldnt think of EDCing it at all just because of the angle ya know? would be too bulky for my personal carry system.
