Surefire UM2 Ultra

[Vox Clamatis in Deserto]

DOH! Just looked at it at Arms Unlimited. They dropped the price another $45!

Ouch, I wish I hadn't seen that.

Maybe I'd better buy another UM2 before the price drops even more. :huh:

It's a great light, a little greenish on the tint but has the look and feel of a classic PK SureFire with the matte black finish and the beautiful CNC knurling. :thumbsup:

Great price now! To bad it's still 250 on eBay. Send them a message if the price there would also drop.

 

[JohnnyBravo]

Sigh. Set up the cart, entered payment information, and my right index finger could not click to buy it last night. I'll wait one more day to see if I can do it! Plus, it'd be nice in a way, to order it on 7.17.17 - I have a little thing for numbers...

 

[Tribull]

Did the same thing, as cool as this light is even with the price drop I can't justify it.

 

[KeyGrip]

Crap if they're still in stock after this week's payday I might be in trouble.

I test UM2 with two rechargable 16340(3.7V 700mAh) and 16650 (3.7V 2500mAh).
16340:
UM2 600lm 1 hour.
320lm 1 hr 40 mins.
100lm 5 hrs.
16650:
100lm barely 5 hrs.

Do I read that right? The 16650 was 100lm max?
Ive been looking for a rechargeable solution for my UM2, and if thats the case, I guess I need to go the 16340 route.

Also 320lm should work for a shorter time. At least my UM2 works on level 5 with a 16650 cell without problem. On level 6 the light blinks between 600lm and 320lm. It is very regulary, therefore I assume it might be a low batery warning...!?

 

[RobertMM]

Yes, probably a low battery warning by the light sensing the voltage and thinking it has partially depleted CR123 inside it.

Is the tube thick enough to bore to 18+mm?
If so, with 18350 cells now exceeding 1100mAh using a pair of those could be the best rechargeable option for the UM2.

Did arms unlimited raise their price back up? I was thinking of getting one. The google page shows sale price $200, but when you click on the website, it's listed for $245.

 

[JohnnyBravo]

Yes, the sale ended. And that's why it seems that their inventory of 472 has stood still for a few days now.

 

[rjking]

Heads up! $199 for a limited time. :twothumbs

 

[fordcappy]

Thanks brother !!

 

[dlrflyer]

Mine is on the way! There are 450 left, no big rush. I suspect next year it will drop even further, or maybe Black Friday.

 

[Beard Man]

Put 999 in your cart, it will tell you how many are available to buy. You can check the inventory on many websites with this technique.

Good info. Appreciated.

What about tint and LED position issues? Are they often?
