Jetbeam T6

Yep, it’s there.

Thanks Easyrr. I hope I got them all showing in the right order now :S

Nice pictures. As you said ano seemed to be weak, but the size is good overall. Not sure if it wins over TM16 or the TK75 at any point. How much did you pay for this baby? Pm is also fine if it’s MAP regulated.

I got these videos done.

Anti anti-roll

And the current changing according to spring pressure. Does the spring really change resistance this much?

It is finally here! :slight_smile:

I couldn’t help myself and last night had another go at disassembling the light. With a star key the switch comes off easy.

I got the reflector out. There actually wasn’t much holding it in place. I just wasn’t trying hard enough last time. I don’t recall seeing a multi emitter plastic reflector like this before.

The leds are on a copper board wired 2s2p. I assume it is DTP but haven’t removed an led to check (yet?). The wires coming through the middle were soldered after the driver and pill were in place because it they were too short to try and remove the pill with them in place. That didn’t stop me from trying, I removed the screws holding the board and unscrewed the pill while holding the board from turning. The pill came out but, of course, the wires prevented it from going to far. I had to sneak a skinny screwdriver past the pill to unscrew the driver board. I wasn’t completely successful as I pulled one of the traces on the led board. I just exposed the trace a bit further down and resoldered.

Here’s a pic of the ripped trace. You’ll notice in the pic above that I left the centering rings in place. I thought it was a good idea to try and protect the led’s. What ended up happening is my finger pushed around one of the centering rings and peeled up the dome. You can see it in the bottom left corner in the pic below. I though the it was done for but when I checked it with the DMM it still worked! This give me the idea to see if I could replicate the method making sure start on the opposite side of the bond wires…… it worked as well! So that’s it all the domes got removed and it was relatively quick and easy. Don’t you love it when you discover something by accident.

The body and head is a one piece design which explains why I couldn’t unscrew it. The thermal path from the pill to the body looks sufficient.

So after pulling it apart I put it back together and checked the lux with the dedomed xpl’s. I got a whopping 268kcd! (measured at 10m) The colour temp didn’t drop much, I guess because of the dedome method? And the beam pattern still isn’t that pretty to me, the tk75 seemed a smoother more consistent beam. Speaking of the tk75 I find it better in the hand. I have big hands so the extra length and smaller head on the tk75 make it more balanced and comfortable to hold.

Yeah once it gets momentum,she won’t stop. Mind you, anti-roll features are only to stop the initial roll on a level surface. I have found C8 heads don’t allow initial roll but won’t stop a run away. Don’t think they are designed to ??

If the flat spots were designed to actually lay flat on the surface it would be much better. Even when resting on a flat spot it still rocks. It’s like an out of round wheel.

EDIT: I’ve listed an MT-G2 but it’s actually an XHP70 DOH!

I tried to work out the camera on the weekend. It gives me manual adjustments but it wasn’t easy to workout. Reason being a lot of options were listed like this

White Balance -
Day light
Cloudy
Tungstun light
fluorescent
fluorescent H

I later found the camera settings were attached to the photos and are as follows -

Canon IXY 50S

f/5 1/160 23.976 mm ISO400

I thought I had all the manual settings fixed but that second setting noted above varied from 1/60 (for tk61 kd) to 1/100 (for jetbeam) to 1/60 (for the other 2 lights).

Anywhoo I took some lux readings and then took pictures.

Jetbeam T6 (dedomed) 264kcd
Modded Courui 212kcd
TK61 mt-g2 Lum reflector 207kcd
TK75vn (3 emitter) 192kcd
TK61 KD 773kcd

Shots of the wall in my backyard. Probably not the most indicative pictures for wall shots but I didn’t have a suitable area inside to take wall shots as I didn’t want to be too close to the wall for these throwers. Also I just plain forgot about the courui when I took pics :-x Distance to wall is about 9.3 metres.


I may be going camping on the weekend so I don’t know if I’ll get any decent outside shots. Yes I realize that’s a prime opportunity but this kind of stuff doesn’t rate high on my to do list when I’m camping.

Can I make a driver boost? [Resistor]

Very goods pictures! :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing :wink:

@ Modern I am not an electrical guru so I don’t know how to give it a current bump. Additionally, I no longer have this light. I hear the T6vn has a different driver for more output, you could try that…?

@ Gaston thanks mate.

Hi

You do not have to be a guru :smiley: You just have to place another resistor on the original sensing resistors highlighted in the image

You could start adding another R050

:wink:

Lol, thanks gaston. Hope that helps Modern and others.

Do not put to 2 additional resistance are placed?

My review of this flashlight:

My modding guide:

Nice mod!
Do you believe a 2s2p solution for both batteries & leds is possible.
I am thinking using MTN LDO driver.

The batteries and LED’s are in 2S2P.

From the MTN driver I have no idea.

I got one and I am impressed by the stock performance. I am thinking though adding another O.5 resistor. Has anyone try this?
If I unplug the temperature monitor wires, will it function properly?

Waiting for this to arrived. :+1:
Initially wanted to get Acebeam K70 but its much bigger so ended with this instead. Hopefully there won’t be any regret
