received the HD2010 I had ordered from Tmart in order to do a
review (plus I just had to have this one i my collection!).
After trying to get a group buy going for the Skyray King but
not having much luck do to a few issues they were having getting
stock in time for fast delivery, I contacted Louis from Tmart
about getting an HD2010 for review. I received an $8 coupon code
for him to bring the price down to a more competitive $37
(normally $45) in return for an honest review and additional
coupons for the members here on BLF if they should decide to get
one. I will give them credit for trying to improve their
flashlight selection and pricing but one thing they don't have
to improve is the great service I've always received from them
along with crazy fast shipping when the items ordered are in the
US warehouse (North Brunswick, NJ). I ordered this on the 22nd,
it shipped on the 25th, and it arrived today, the 27th. Just 5
days!</p><p><strong>QUICK
SUMMARY:</strong></p><p><strong>Pros:</strong></p><p>In a word,
FANTASTIC! In more words, a bargain of a light, especially if
you are a fan of throwers. With it's 62mm head and a
wonderfully designed smooth reflector with a 52mm inside
diameter it really puts out a fairly tight hotspot with a decent
corona and a crazy smooth spill all in a heavy, solid, compact
light that takes 26650 or 18650 cells (with included adapter
sleeve) you'd be hard pressed to find a better all around torch
than this baby. It immediately became one of my top 3 favorite
lights. Threads are deep and cleanly cut and work very well.
The best part is it arrived in 5 days from ordering in the usual
beatup box but the light itself was wrapped in bubble plastic
and included a matching grey lanyard.</p><p>No memory in driver.
Always starts in High mode if power is interrupted longer than
1 second. Perfect for a thrower and great if you hate cycling
through the flashy modes.</p><p><strong>Cons:</strong></p><p>Not
many, and nothing that can't be corrected. The threads were dry
and free of any lube and the o-rings on either end of the
battery tube were too small to provide any real water
resistance. You will see in my pics that I put both o-rings
together on the tail and changed the front o-ring to a slightly
thicker, but not thick enough, GITD o-ring from my bin. A trip
to the hardware store should remedy the o-ring issue.</p><p>The
grey anodizing is consistent among all the parts but there are a
couple tiny spots the size of small droplets where the ano is a
shade lighter than the rest.</p><p>Like the DRY triple, the lens
gasket is a touch too small in diameter but with a small pick
you can work it in place easily as you tighten the bezel. No
big deal really.</p><p>As near as I can tell, the lens does not
appear to be coated. It looks like plain clear glass to
me.</p><p>Almost forgot to add that the battery sleeve (for
18650 use) will slide into the space around the driver making a
rattle if you shake the light forward and backwards. A bit of
foam cut and fitted into the space resolved this for
me.</p><p><strong>SPECS & MEASUREMENTS:</strong></p><p>Weights:

matter how hard I tried I couldn't take tail measurements on
anything but High and low mode. With tail switch all modes work
effortlessly but taking DMM measurements at the tail I just
couldn't get them all. I'm sure PWM is there but was not really
noticable to me but then again, I am not that susceptable to
PWM. YMMV.</p><p>Update: Playing with the light some more
tonight I realized something really nice about this light and
it's primary purpose. Even though it has 5 modes including
strobe and SOS, you never have to see them unless you want them.
It really doesn't have any memory from what I can see. If I
set it to any mode and leave it off for more than a second it
comes back on in High mode. Half-press from any mode for less
than a second and the light comes on in the next mode. Leave it
off for more than a second and it comes back on in High. You
don't want strobe or SOS? You never see them unless you want
to. In Low and want to go to high without seeing strobe? Half
press for more than a second and you are in High. Short of
locking them out with a complicated UI it works pretty
well.</p><p>High mode:<span class="Apple-tab-span"

(Protected Trustfire Flames 18650)<br>Low mode: 290mAh
(either battery)</p><p><strong>Temperature
management:</strong></p><p>I ran the light on high using the
unprotected Panasonics and recorded temps using IR thermometer.
As you can see from the results the temperature leveled out at
117f at the head and 108f at the tail after the 22 minute mark.
This was done with no fan or breeze with the light tail standing
on my table. Pretty darned impressive if you ask me. At no
point did it get higher than roughly 47c at the head so no
worries about the battery getting hotter than 50c. Temps listed
for head and tail.</p><p>10 minutes:<span class="Apple-tab-span"

& PICS</strong></p><p><strong>Body:</strong></p><p>Very solid
and heavy with nicely machined standard threads. No lube on the
threads from the manufacturer. Knurling is very nice with just
the right amount of grip without being too aggressive.
Machining on the bezel makes it very easy to grasp to
tighten/loosen it. </p><p>The pill is not the heaviest but does
a superb job of managing the heat created by the emitter and
transferring it to the head and body. The pill threads into the
head from the front and seats snugly thanks to a thin o-ring
just below the lip of the pill. The driver is held in place with
a thin, threaded retaining ring making it very easy to remove
the pill for maintenance without having to solder anything to
make a solid elictrical connection.</p><p>The tail cap is very
thick and solid with a brass cap over the end of the spring
providing good contact with the battery. The retaining ring on
the switch is crazy thick and the GITD boot is very solid
feeling thanks to the thick silicon, good texturing, and the
solid feeling switch. It tail stands nicely from the 3 point
crenelation while allowing easy access for thick fingers or
thumbs. With a single lanyard hole having an attached lanyard
will effect it's ability to tail stand stabily. Without the
lanyard it is no issue.</p><p><strong>Reflector &
Output:</strong></p><p>The smooth reflector is clearly designed
for throw in mind as it provides a nice concentrated hot spot
along with a solid corona. Side spill on it is crazy smooth
even when white wall hunting. No ringiness at all which is
pretty uncommon wiht a smooth reflector.</p><p>Where I am the
farthest thing to test on is the apartment building 168 yds away
from my front porch. Even with the street lights and other
light pollution sources in the city it easily lights up the
building. The tree line 100 yds away is easily lit up and is
clearly brighter than any other light I have at those
distances.</p><p>Tint, while clearly on the cool side, has no
sign of green or purple. The hot spot is actually almost
vanilla with a yellowish corona. I would have to hazard a guess
that it is a 1C tint bin.</p><p>Now for the pics. Click on a
pic to be taken to the full sized version. I have taken a ton
of them and tried to include all measurements of all the
parts.</p><div>Best part, if you live in the states, is that it
comes from the NJ warehouse!</div><div><a

I've still never gotten around to getting an hd2010. might have
to rectify that having reread the review, just need to find a
supply of good ones again.

I dont know if there are any around with the original driver. My
first one which was bought early in the piece had a low
performing driver. The other thing that was a problem was the
reflector shorting on the led causing blow ups.

[/quote]Graham, I could easily see it becoming one of your
favorite lights. With a dedomed XP-G2 in direct drive it'd be
one mean mamma jamma of a thrower! You will love the compact
body and giant head.

Heres a couple of pictures of the HD2010 stock at about 3.3 amps
and an XP-G2 at 2.8 amps in the stock pill.

I really do like this light and belive it or not I still don't
have one :)
It's pretty good all round that it takes a 17mm driver,
especially with PPTK's new 8*amc programmable USB driver but I
have to ask, is it really necessary to replace the driver in
this light ?
The East 92 driver is one I know nothing about and it seems like
the strobe modes are hidden which is good, and 3A well this is
good too but I'm unsure about PWM. If it uses PWM then it's
definitely a driver out light for me.
Anyone know ?

the driver is direct drive on high, there are a few that have
burnt up due low resistance cells etc.
The biggest reason to change drivers is to gain a regulated
output, the other option now a days is keep the stock driver and
drop in a copper mounted emitter, I cant help thinking a copper
mounted xp-g2 would be awesome on a good east092, as you note
though, pilotpptks new driver raises interesting possibilities.
My main thing now is the zy-t08 is the same size reflector, I
may as well mod the zy-t08 some more as buy another new light (I
know......heretic), and getting a good one has become so much
more of a lottery, there are many arriving with under performing
drivers, not a problem if you intend to mod it when it arrives
but annoying if you wanted to see what the fuss was about.
