Measurements</strong>:</p><ul><li>Length: 151.71mm </li><li>Head
width & depth: 44.85mm x 44.76mm </li><li>Tail width:
26.93mm/28.93mm </li><li>Reflector (W x D): 39.93mm x 35.41mm
</li><li>Lens (W x D): 41.88mm x 1.6mm </li><li>Driver: 17mm
</li><li>Emitter: 16mm
</li></ul><p><strong>Impressions</strong>:</p><p>I bought this
light since it was a clone of the Keygos KE-5 and I wanted to
see how the Beamtech performed compared to what I heard from the
Keygos KE-5. The Keygos are known to have driver issues with
some being well driven and many others poorly driven. It arrived
in the usual bubble sleeve inside the usual white box. The box
was in fantastic shape with no dents, creases or crushing. I can
only credit this to Tmart, not Beamtech. Good on you,
Tmart!</p><p>Upon removing the light from its packaging I found
it to be free of any dings, scratches or ano blemishes. Threads
were clean and ample but dry. Threads on the pill and the head
are nicely cut and anodized. Glass lens was clear and appears to
be uncoated. Reflector is clean and free of blemishes and the
emitter was clean and perfectly centered.</p><p>Internally I was
pleasantly surprised. The LED star (16mm) is mounted well with
thermal epoxy and centered with the nicest centering ring I’ve
seen on a light yet. Made of white nylon, the centering ring
completely covers the PCB but has slots for the soldering to
have room. It is thick enough to keep the reflector from
shorting out the LED connections. The driver is unregulated and
goes to direct drive on high with no visible PWM to me. Mind you
I am not sensitive to PWM but while I am sure it’s there, it is
reasonably high based on the fact that the driver is an
East-092B and is the same driver used in my Ultrafire HD2010.
The switch assembly is very solid with great feel and no
sponginess. The spring is soldered onto the switch PCB and is
secured by a threaded brass ring. The switch itself is only
rated for 1.5A, and while one day it may fail, so far it has
exhibited no issues. It is easily replaced, if need be, with any
C8 switch.</p><p>The only flaws with the build quality were easy
ones to fix. The O-rings were far too small and thin for the
light body. I replaced these with 16mm GITD O-rings I already
had. I replaced the O-ring between the pill and the head with a
20mm GITD I keep on hand. Also, I decided to place a second 20mm
O-ring onto the pill to completely seal anay space between the
pill finning and the head for positive water proofing. The thin
bead of GITD that is visible also looks pretty good IMO. With
these in place the connections are snug and should be very water
tight. I removed the Stainless steel bezel to check the lens
O-ring and could not see one. I popped out the reflector and
found the O-ring was there but was so thin that it had squeezed
past the reflector and was stuck in the head. Since the lens is
roughly 42mm and the same size as that on a C8, I also had 42mm
GITD O-rings I had on hand. After swapping the O-ring with the
one I had on hand, everything fit together perfectly and I have
no doubt that it is now water-tight.</p><p>The only remaining
flaw (but not an uncommon one in many flashlights) is the lack
of a spring on the driver for the battery positive. I found that
light bumping of the tail will change modes easily. This may be
exaggerated by my battery being a flat-topped Panasonic. Perhaps
a cell with a “<strong>+</strong>” button will resist the mode
changes better. I did not add a spring to the driver (yet)
because I wanted to take my pics beforehand. I will probably add
the driver spring tomorrow to make it perfectly rock-solid with
flat-topped
cells.</p><p><strong>Performance</strong>:</p><p>Wow!! This baby
is bright! It is direct driven and I tested around 3.26A at the
tail. Just like the HD2010, I was unable to measure any other
mode but High with the tail cap off.</p><p>Along with the
incredible amount of light, it also produces an incredible
amount of heat. In defense of the light I will say that the
entire light heats quickly and evenly which is testament that it
wicks the heat from the LED and is doing its job well. That
said, after tail standing for about 10 minutes it was so hot I
was almost unable to pick it up to turn it off without going for
a pair of gloves. With some breeze and/or hand-held blood
cooling it shouldn’t be too much of a problem but still requires
attention from the user. Definitely not a light for a noob or
for lending out to a family member or neighbor.</p><p>The 5
modes all work well. High/medium/low are nicely spaced just as
in the HD2010. Strobe is fast and brutal. “SOS” is actually OSO
just like on the HD2010...useless!.</p><p>LED tint is a very
nice white on mine with no green, purple or pink undertones to
it.</p><p>The hot-spot is tight and well focused with very
smooth, ringless spill in spite of the smooth reflector. It will
easily out throw any C8 light while still providing ample spill
for peripheral viewing. Being a clone of the infamous Ultrafire
980 it throws very well but not as well as the HD2010 obviously
due to the reflector being smaller in diameter. I think this
style of light is a perfect compromise between a dedicated
thrower and a C8 style light. After having this I would easily
choose it over C8 lights for all around
usefulness.</p><p><strong>Summary</strong>:</p><p>Aside from the
O-ring issues I find this light to be pretty outstanding for a
budget option! If you have a good variety of O-rings on hand for
your other lights it’s really not much of an issue and I can
recommend it for you. If you are just getting started and don’t
have a bin of extra O-rings yet then you might want to
reconsider the light if you plan on exposing it to anything more
than a light rain.</p><p>Tmart provided fast shipping as usual
and the light arrived with the box in good enough shape to be
used in gift giving. </p><p>If you want a crazy bright hotrod of
a light that throws well for its size and aren’t put off by a
couple easily resolved issues then it’s hard to beat this. At
$27 it is still a decent value, especially when compared to the
Keygos KE-5 which, aside from the occasional deal sells between
$25 and $28 elsewhere. Add in the driver lottery with the Keygos
and I would choose this Beamtech over the Keygos without
hesitation. If Tmart can offer the BT-950L at a better price I
think it would sell very well. At $22-$25 it would be an
outstanding value but at $27 it’s just a value.</p><p>In short
this light, with very little additional work, has quickly jumped
to the front row of my “go to” lights!!</p><p><strong>Now for
the pics!<br></strong>All pics are sized smaller for quicker
loading of the thread. As usual, clicks on my pics open to a

shape!<br><a
