I've just received this and it can be shipped immediately. Look and feel is decent and price is not bad as well. But from the looks of it the light doesn't seem as bright as our other Cree lights. I've tested over and over and tried with different light meters and batteries (different 18650 and CR123A) but the lux reading is still very small. The flashlight has an uneven reflector cap but so do our other Cree flashlights, I can't think of a reason why it outputs so little light. There must be something in the design of the circuit board. Ultrafire claims that this lights features a current regulation board but my runtime test results did not show this (see below).

Ownership verified by DX Great flashlight

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Very bright. Just about as bright, if not more than my 100-Lumen Surefire. So I would estimate REAL lumen output is around 100-110.
- Tightly focused beam. Dot is very tightly packed and has excellent throw. Dot is also very clean looking, no abnormalities in the beam quality.
- Great looking host. Probably one of the best I've gotten from DX. Very clean, fluid and sharp looking. Not awkward in the least.
- Great knurling.
- Easy disassembly for replacing/exchanging internals.

Cons: - Paint chips off very easily when dropped from low heights on hard surfaces.
- Sometimes (very VERY rarely) has trouble making connection, have to shake a bit every now and then to make it work.

Other Thoughts: Reverse clicky. Heats up quickly (though not a bad thing, just shows it is powerful).

Bottomline: Great light with a lot of power. Use rechargeable RCR123's for about a hours worth of light, maybe more. Great host for other emitters if you can find any that are brighter.

Pros: great light, super bright ...cover large beam area at 15 feet..construction is good battery is snug ...no rattles

Cons: short on time ....after about 30 minutes of total usuage light just cuts off...not like a regular light that just goes dimmer..can someone tell me if this is correct? the batteries im using are: TrustFire Protected 3.6V 880mAh 16340/CR123A Batteries (2-Pack)

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: great light for the price ...going to try a Q5 type next time ....can anyone tell me how much brighter the Q5 would be ?

Ownership verified by DX Disappointing Flashlight from Ultrafire
Posted by Nico1970 on 4/1/2008
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: Bezel looks good. Nice to hold in the hand. Good quality lanyard attached. Can stand on it's face.

Cons: Not bright at all. Very disappointing build quality and very poorly finished. Some 'scratches' in case and anodizing very thin. Quite sharp around the edge of te bezel. Too much play ion the clicky before it connects.

Other Thoughts: No holster provided which, at this price is surprising. There are too many niggling quality issues to have just have received a sub-standard model. I would be interested to see other ultrafire products.

Bottomline: This is not a bad flashlight but it's not in the same league as, for example, a Romisen RC0F4. Since it's also more expensive than the Romisen there's no contest = I can't recommended this flashlight. Hopefully this is not representative of other products from this manufacturer...

Ownership verified by DX Bright, Strong, Doesn't Fit 18650
Posted by Infant on 3/14/2008
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: less than 1 day

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: I received it, and the first though was: "This is smaller than I thought." It was decently built. It looks and feels real solid. The light is bright enough (Hint: Don't stare in directly...can't see now...) only i wasn't able to test it fully (read cons.)

Cons: It doesn't fit ANY of my 18650 batteries. I was able to test it by just tearing of the plastic of one of my batteries, and connecting it to the bulb and the spring. Which worked fairly well, meaning the spring makes good contact with the battery.

Other Thoughts: Because it doesn't fit an 18650 as advertised, I've given the build quality a 3 star. If they just made the tube 1 or 2 mm larger, it would surely fit without a problem. I've contacted DealExtreme to ask for another model which does fit the 18650, and send this one back. Waiting for a response.

Bottomline: Don't purchase this if you plan to use it with an 18650.

Usage Instructions Return to top    
** Note: this 501B light has a slightly narrower barrel than our other Cree lights. Regular 18650 batteries seem to go in just fine but our Ultrafire Protected 18650 cell won't go in without force. You can try to force one in but the the blue plastic skin of the cell may peel and you might not be able to easily get it out. This applied to our protected 18650 cells only. The same problem with these cells does not occur with our other Cree lights.
