Eastward YJ J01 CREE XM-L T6 3-Mode 900-Lumen White LED Flashlight with Strap (1*18650)

Pros: Well built body and head, good heat dispention. Throws well and has a lot of spill too. I normally walk my dog at night with a FlashMax X950 - 5xQ5wc and this light is almost as bright. It throws less but still lights up tree's at 100m.

Cons: Switch modes are useless for me, the pro is that when you select the proper mode it always starts in that mode. The threads needed a bit of oil/grease The led wasn't perfectly aligned in the reflector

Other: The Cree XLM T6 surprised me overall. I have several other lights (FlashMax X950, Ultrafire C8/C9, WF501B, Aurora WF-600 and this light until now is the overall winner for me. Lightweight, good balance while holding it and a good trow/spill combo for me.

Pros: Excellent design, with a nice deep aluminum mirrored reflector that matches the XM-L well. Probably one of the best designed tail caps for tail standing & grip too. Actually a pretty decent thrower for a large die LED. Obviously doesn't throw like a Q5 or R2, but the overall light output is three times as much as a these. Good O-Rings and overall construction. Mode memory works well.

Cons: Relatively poor performance on a single Li-Ion battery once the terminal voltage drops below 4v. At 3.8v, output has dropped to only around 400 Lumens. Maximum light output occurs @ 10w draw from the power supply/battery (at battery voltages above 4.2V) and I would guess this would be in the vicinity of 700 Lumens. Although the driver is rated to take 2x Li-Ion batteries, there is no real point installing CR123's as the output is no greater and run time will be less than a single 18640. A battery extension tube that takes 2x 18650 might be worthwhile to double the runtime though. The forward clicky is a negative, when it comes to multi-mode lights IMO..

Other: Good single 18650 host for the XM-L emitter providing decent throw and masses of light on high. Really needs a driver transplant to take full advantage of a single 18650. My favorite (out of four others I now own) XM-L host. Soon to have a 8x AM7135 driver fitted.

Pros: This is the most bright one I have ever had. I have 8 led flash lighters most of them is P7 d, mce M-bin and xml t6. This one is the most brighter than any others. I can use more than 1 and half hours but it was all right even a bit loose of brightness. Good thrower light.

Cons: A bit narrow lihgting pattern because SMO reflecter, but still good.

Other: This is much brighter than P7 and a bit brighter than mce-m-bin. If you need just bright led flash lighter with perfect thrower, you need this one.

Pros: - really, but really flashlight! i can see clearly for at least 150 mts. I don't need to see further, or at least i can't so it's perfect.
- It feels like if costs at least $100, and classy.
- Light, even when is big for being carried on your pocket, it's light. Use it on a belt holster.

Cons: - This is recurrent in some flashlights here, but there can be some issues with connectivity.
- Needs to be properly tighten, and you must apply some thermanl grease on it, to ensure a long lifetime.

Other: - I am happy with this purchase. Recommended, but keep in mind you'll have to solve some minor issues before use.

Pros: Sturdy metal casing Glass lens Has all the rubber seal Very good thrower, but still floods pretty well

Cons: Couldn't get the "head" unscrewed from the middle piece of pipe. Probably should try using some tool, as seen photos of disassembled torch. Also strobe and mid don't work on fully charged battery, only start working when you use light for about 5-8 minutes.

Other: Cool torch, will be useful in day-to-day activities, also as a bike light.
