The Amutorch XT45 and the Nightwatch NI40 seem to have a good form factor and great beam for an easy carry SBT 90.2 light but considering the LED premium I would really prefer a side button, Anduril light of similar size.
That light looks to be a great wide beam pocket thrower, I might think about buying one even with the rear switch. It’s near EDC size so it might be interesting to carry it for multi purpose with a circle of DC-fix on the lens with a small tab for easy removal and application.
If nothing comes out soon with a SBT-90.2 and a side switch near that size then the X9L looks like the ticket.
just ordered the fw21 pro, cannot wit for this. I do not have a sbt90 light yet.
Although…. Skylumen has the thrunite t10 14500 light made into a sbt90 light. I have the original 500lm t10, and REALLY want Vin’s hotrodded version, but the price is… a little sharp… still looks awesome though. it pushes 2300lm too! if only for a blink of an eye
Noctigon KR1 is a good host. FW21 is bigger, and it does not come with a trit or a 18350 tube.
The price isn’t too bad considering it is a custom flashlight modded by Vinh, and that he will de-lens the LED for you. Keep in mind you would pay $64.77 just to buy a KR1 with trit and 18350 tube from Hank, and SBT-90.2 LED costs at least $35. That’s $100 total. You are paying $20 for the mod.
Yes it is. I was surprised too when i have discovered by accident. Since then i have done it on all 3 of my flashlights. Not much bonding strength in that glue
Neal was working on creating Loneocean drivers for the FW series. I wonder if this X9L will be using Loneocean’s drivers or the standard lumintop FET drivers
