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

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.

I’m sorry, my friend, but the cost is too high,the host,driver,LED,and transportation cost,please forgive. :frowning:

Hey, nothing to forgive don’t worry :slight_smile:
I’m sure you will sell plenty even at this price ! It’s still stylish and powerful, but you know how we are at BLF :wink:

I got my Eagle Eye X9 in the mail today. :smiley:

Looks very nice, the SS bezel is robust and really trims the light well. Reflector is deep, beam profile has a tighter hot spot than I expected to see. Color is white, initial look shows. It has a nice tube inserted to allow use of 18650’s so I stuck a pair of LG MJ1 button tops in and checked it out…

0.04A for 40.71 lumens
0.58A for 710.7
1.62A for 1683.6
4.84A for 3211.95

Nice! I’m expecting some 5000mAh LiitoKala 26650’s soon so I’ll see how those work. Meanwhile I’ll play around with a few other cell choices and let y’all know if there’s any major changes…

Thanks Mr. Fang! :slight_smile:

Could you give us a quick word about the UI?

Is it one click to on with memory?

Extra clicks cycle through modes?

Press and hold for off?

I’m just guessing.

Does the driver size and shape look like it might fit the L6?

Thanks
