EAGLE EYE X9 XHP70LED inside Hard Light flashlight 26650/18650 3800LM

It is I who thanks you! I have been searching through tens of dozens of lights and almost bought several, but something made me hold back. Then this one pops up and I have been waiting for a new Eagle Eye for quite some time… if you noticed I didn’t hesitate at all! lol

I’d love to see a larger version of the X6, maybe with the 20700 cell or a 26650. Something around 50-65mm in the head but the same profile/design as the X6. If you were to do that, I’d be on it like a chicken on a june bug. :smiley:

haha,I will try!

I’m about to purchase one of these beauties. Please recommend 2 x 26650 batteries for the X9 from AliExpress website.

Many Thanks.

very nice :+1:

Two things:

  1. I saw X9 and thought maybe it was a larger brother to the X6 and got excited. Then came here and was massively disappointed!
  2. This thread belongs in the Commercial Sellers’ Area. No offense. Just please move it.

+1 could be the eagle eye x8, 26650 big brother of the x6 with a large head. Massive thrower. I would get a few over time as my meager budget allows to put different LEDs in

Is this your taobao site?!

I really like the looks of this one. It’s also great all functions are controlled by the side switch. I’ll be placing an order for one with the warmer tint. Great find!

This model has a smaller diameter head than the L6 and is a lot lighter in weight. Great for carrying, but maybe not for high powered mods. I’m guessing there is a lot less mass in the head.

Then again, I’m sure you’ll find a way to mod it. Maybe add a copper disc or something.:slight_smile:

Jim, you are missing a trick with the X6 shape imho. That was and still is a very popular flashlight. As I suggested to you before via pm, if you can upscale the same shape as the X6 with a more powerful led, you will be on to a winner once again.
It’s clear to be seen on this forum alone how popular the X6 is.

I was on the team for the group buy with the X6 when it first came out. I tested it, hard, even tossed it out the window of the car at 60mph and video’d it skittering down the road. The damage was negligible, the light still worked. Seems like we had some 1200 lights or maybe more, in that group buy.
I’ve built some 35-40 X6’s, have 11 here even now. It’s just a personal favorite, very nicely made light that allows itself to all sorts of modification. I was the first to build a triple with the CUTE-3, a quad with the CUTE-4, and the results enticed many many more to do the same. I still think the Triple X6 is my favorite light of them all, and this is with some 400 builds behind me.

It looks great, feels great in the hand and has so many options to modify as well as good heat handling.

I also hoped this would be the big brother to the X6 but was also sadly disappointed.

I honestly don’t know if upscaling would yield the same benefits as downscaling, the X5 is a very neat little 14500 light with bigger light capabilities. In the smaller form I still love it, not sure about a larger form. Maybe I’ll give it a go on the lathe after this photo shoot coming up this week/weekend….

Sounds good Dale. Interesting little project

Anything new about this light? Has someone received one until today?

No new info since last post.

OP - could you please give an answer to the above question as to which 26650 batteries you recommend to work best with the X9?

Made in China,it’s good. :sunglasses:

I’m very tempted by this new X9 but was expecting a slightly lower price.
Being a direct opponent of Convoy L6 and Thorfire S70(S) I would expect a similar price (in the 50$ area).
I much prefer your form factor however, with much less weight (okay, less thermal dissipation too)

If you look at prices from the factory stores you’ll see the Convoy L6 is $65 and the S70s is $70, so the X9 is cheaper than both. (BTW, Jin Lang is the factory Eagle Eye store)

I think your seeing those cheaper prices at non-factory stores where they are discounted more. If Banggood or Gearbest start carrying the X9 model I’m sure the price will be less. It’s still very new, though. I haven’t even seen a single review so far.
