Thread: The flashlight sticky

Just talking a few stats with Mcgadgetman...hundreds of new 2Xs and upgrade M24s sold through aliexpress in last 2-3 months (plus heaps of batts, chargers, packages etc) - with 90+% bought by kiwi hunters. Maybe 100-150 landed in country to date and at this point one light had a watermark on it - no other defects. No duds. That is very good QA from Maxtoch. I would have expected maybe 2-3% fail rate in any production chain but under 1% is first class. One other light got broken in transit with chinapost.

Just a pointers for new buyers:
* Use optic cloth or something equally soft to look after the AR (antireflective) lens. Keep lens clean
* Treat it an an electronic system like a camera. Yes it can club possums but not too often...
* Use medium mode for normal hunting - has over 1000m max range and gives good runtimes
* Only highest quality panasonic/maxtoch 3400 protected buttontop batts - no cheapies
* Range will decrease if there's alot of dust or mist in atmosphere
* Don't leave batts in torch when not in use - they will discharge much quicker

No plans for new Maxtoch LR torches. The new 2X and upgrade M24 both have great range and we won't design anymore until some new all-purpose led comes out that's suits our hunter job.
