class="Apple-style-span" style="color:
#ff9900;">★★★★★</span></h2><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">To start with it came with the usual
promptness from Manafont. It arrived in our favorite envelope
wrapped in bubble bag and inside a white cardboard box. My first
impression was amazement and awe at the quality and feel of this
torch. Feels very solid and well banced in teh hand especially
with the 18650 battery installed.</p><p style="margin-top:
0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 10px; text-align:
justify;">This light has 3 modes: High > Low> Fast Strobe. The
low is good enough for everyday tasks and the high mode will
light up a football field and the one behind that one, etc...
The strobe will please those who appreciate a disabilitating
strobe and annoy those who hate all strobes. Thankfully having
only one blinky mode means there is only one blinky mode to
switch past if you don't want it. Might have been nice to have
a slightly brighter medium mode and one really low low mode to
go with the insanely driven high mode. Overall though I feel
that the chosen modes are a nice compromise that will satisfy
most operators.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom:
0.5em; margin-right: 10px; text-align: justify;">For the price
this light offers an unbeatable value in both quality and
performance. I am willing to bet that it will stand toe to toe
with the likes of the 980L and other heavy hitting hotrod
torches. For what little money this baby costs you couldn't
build one yourself for less and you couldn't build it any better
or brighter.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom:
0.5em; margin-right: 10px;"> </p><h2 style="padding-bottom: 5px;
margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-size: 16px;">Design /
Build Quality: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:
#ff9900;">★★★★★</span></h2><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">The quality of this light is
outstanding. There are no scratches in the finish nor any dents
or dings to be seen. The anodizing is flawless and even through
and through. The external heatsink and pill is stainless steel
while the remainder of the light is aluminum. THe torch is
balanced in the hand and comfortable to hold without any
slipping should they be wet or sweaty.</p><p style="margin-top:
0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 10px; text-align:
justify;">Threads are all pretty even in number and quality,
deep and clean, and came lubricated. There is no play in any of
the threading and the o-rings are thick and should provide great
waterproofing for all conditions with the possible exception of
divers who go greater than 10 meters. I do not know what
waterproof rating this torch has but I would not hesitate to
drop it in the water or swim with it.</p><p style="margin-top:
0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 10px; text-align:
justify;">The battery fits with little play. There is a spring
at the driver side and a spring-loaded brass button at the
switch end. Shaking the light reveals no rattling or connection
issues and lends only to the feel that the entire light is made
of one machined piece of billet aluminum.</p><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">The lens is glass and appears to be
AR coated and amply thick. The reflector is aluminum and is
perfectly chromed with zero flaws or blemishes.</p><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">Heatsink is stainless steel on the
outside but judging from the driver side of it the main part
appears to be brass or copper. I did not remove the emitter to
see if there is a copper slug in the center of the heatsink but
I would not be surprised to find one even if only brass.</p><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">Cosmetically it is a very handsome
torch in the "plunger" style. The polished stainless steel
heatsink in the middle is proportioned such that is breaks up
the monochrome black finish and makes for a ruggedly elegant air
about it.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;
margin-right: 10px; text-align: justify;">Crenelation of the
bezel is not too deep. I normally don't care much for crenelated
bezels but this light will never be a pocket torch and as such I
don't worry about it tearing up my pockets or cutting my leg. It
looks good on this particular torch.</p><p style="margin-top:
0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 10px; text-align:
justify;">Tailstanding with the small footprint of the tail can
be shaky business. While definitely possible, it needs to be
done on a smooth and level surface. The fact that the rubber
switch boot protrudes ever so little makes it even shakier
business. This can be resolved easily enough with an oring
placed between the boot and the tail housing to draw the cap
just a bit deeper into the tail piece.</p><p style="margin-top:

style="color:
#ff9900;">★★★★</span>☆</h2><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">I haven't done any testing with a
DMM at this point but will attempt to do so over the weekend. As
it stands I would say that battery life is not going to be as
long on high mode as it might be on other torches in it's class
due to it appearing to be slightly over driven. On low mode I'm
sure it will last several hours. Once I am able to get some DMM
readings from it we can do our own calculations and see exactly
what kind of life one can expect to get in each mode. Right now
I'm going to give it a 4-star rating i this area due to it being
overdriven.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom:

Output: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:
#ff9900;">★★★★★</span></h2><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">Light output is where this torch
excels. In fact, if this were a drag race between hot rodders, I
would not hesitate to put it up against the Ultrafire UF-980L. I
replaced the OP reflector with an <a
href="
HTML http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/416mm-aluminum-smooth-reflector-for-ultrafire-c8-p-6092">SMO<br
/>reflector from Manafont</a> for $3.89 USD. I actually prefer i
t
with the SMO which is unusual for me as I generally prefer OP to
smooth out the hotspot and rings. This light is a throw monster
and once I find a suitable place to take good night shots I will
update this review with the pictures. In the mean time I will
show you the one I took today showing the F15 next to an
UltraFire WF-501B with the Manafont 3-mode XML drop-in. In this
pic the 501B with the Manafont XM-L drop-in and SMO reflector is
on the left and the Trustfire F15 is on the right. Not only does
it kick it's ass in brightness, it gives it a parting kick to
the nuts while it lays beaten and unconcious.</p><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;"><img

/>alt="Ceiling shot" width="1024" height="612"></p><p
style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px;"> The drawback to all that brightness is that nothing
comes without a price and in the case of this much light that
price is heat. As long as one uses it responsibly it really
shouldn't be an issue. I certainly wouldn't leave this torch in
highmode unattended for long unless it was in front of/under a
fan. While in the hand and under the benefits of blood cooling
it should be just fine as long as it is still warm enough to be
held. In low mode I wouldn't hesitate to leave it tailstanding
until the bettery was drained.</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 10px;">I took some
temperature readings while the F15 was in high mode and
tailstanding. I stopped the test after 13 minutes because I
frankly got a little nervous and didn't want to damage my new
baby.</p><ul><li>After 5 minutes (in degrees

style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right:
10px; text-align: justify;">While not for a novice user, this
torch would be perfect for the outdoorsman and hunter. The build
and quality of it is exceptional, especially at it's price
point. Exceptionally attractive, bright, waterproof and durable
makes it a great choice for anyone in the market for an
outstanding value. Personally if this was not already in my
collection I would run out and buy it imediately. You honestly
can't go wrong with this one and it gets Johnny Mac's 5-star
seal of approval!</p><p style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom:

direct drive on high?

You are correct. It uses standard C8 reflectors and is direct
