airbourne 128 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 still got the 12 months on batteries and 18 months on charger just because they come from amazon does not mean they don't have warranty. 1 Quote Link to post
compoundarcher 35 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 still got the 12 months on batteries and 18 months on charger just because they come from amazon does not mean they don't have warranty. yeah phone the UK Importer and ask....01460 240336 ask for Antony (nice Chap) warranty but not UK based....if it goes wrong enjoy extra duty and the postage cost you not even got a UK lead chap....definite unofficial import...you might have saved just a few quid but will not have the comfort of knowing to send it to Uk importer...for warranty please send to manufacture .....China.. Unofficial imports are NOT covered by the UK importer.. Has the warranty card been stamped...lol For peace of mind please use official imports it could save you time and lots of money too oh and Airbourne change that lead plug as it not even fused...3 amp fuse or lower required any twin pin electrical lead will fit (radio hifi etc) Quote Link to post
airbourne 128 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 fair point Martin, but if there has good has you say, they will stand the test of time, and thank you for pointing out about the plug. Quote Link to post
compoundarcher 35 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 They are very good indeed i have used one solid every day for months as i am a Vaper (e-cigs) and never had the slightest problem....i have had Three! yes three ultra fires burn out on me in as many months (Vaping for 2 years now) I regularly charge 4-6 batteries every day and i trust the Nitecore i4 and i2 to charge then auto switch off....before that i would only charge batteries when attended. I recently sold out of i4 chargers and a chap came around for some torches i sold him my own charger as he did not want to wait for a new delivery...I had a brand new spare Ultrafire rapid charger (free gift from torch reseller in china) it charged four nitecore batteries ok then i put in the hi mAh panasonics...it caught on fire about 30 minutes into the charge setting off the hallway smoke detector..lots of smoke but not much burning as i had retro fitted a 1 amp fused uk cable as the power lead (my advice to you)...hence the heads up i left about these Ultrafire Rapid chargers not being left unattended recently... I just think it makes sense to buy from the UK then you have a come back if its needed..that was the point i was trying to get across..theres normally a catch somewhere along the line when stuff is sold cheaper than the official versions American Dewalt products are the same ....buy non CE approved versions (ebay and amazon) and the Dewalt UK repair centres won't touch them....I know from personal experience 1 Quote Link to post
wuyang 513 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Anybody who takes a risk with cheap 18650 batteries are crazy...risking your torch been like a pipe bomb, especially if you run two batteries together. 18650 batteries need looking after. 2 Quote Link to post
Ben Hewson 1 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi Twymanc - you've mentioned above that you attached the torch to the scope but didn't say how....have you used the specially made mount from ultrafire....if so did it fit well as it says on the ebay one i've found "universal" which doesn't always inspire confidence to me.

Ben Hewson 1 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was looking at a few (below is one example) but i was also considering using my maglight and wondered if buying a universal mount for a fiver would be any good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultrafire-Cree-Q5-green-beam-scope-mount-lamping-kit-hunting-gun-rifle-light-/300910440581 I have a minimag LED and the different power and flash settings which is a great torch.....i was thinking the 25% non focus beam might pick up the eyes and then i can turn it onto full and focus the beam in to concentrate on the chosen set of eyes. Not sure how practicle it will be in the field though. You have to cycle through two others settings to get back to 100% beam (from memory). Quote Link to post
