Uniquefire G6 SS Xml
If you're going to put an XM-L in a stainless steel light, drive it very gently or there will be heat problems. I love my stainless steel lights but they are not the place to put hard-driven LEDs.
Smallest 18650? Would definitely be a hand warmer.
Not the smallest. But definitely small.
Heat? Still cooler than a triple XM-L driven hard.
looks like the exact driver that's in my G6 xpg model..
But the Vf of the XM-L will probably have it draw 20% more current.
yeah no doubt..just stating it was the same driver..it's a nice host for the money..
Then probably about 2A for the XM-L. Pretty good.
The driver has an awful low PWM, I changed it to a 4x7135 in my XP-G Fandyfire
Is this light small enough to pocket carry or is it too heavy being a SS light?
Also anyone know if an 16mm XML will fit, planning to mod it with a Neutral White XML and 17mm driver(5x7135).
Thanks
Are you aware that the body is from steel? At those currents the emitter will probably cook pretty soon.
Yes, I will only be using it mostly on medium and low mode, and only occasionally on high. Will replace it with a 1.7A driver on high with a NW XML emitter.
I own the xpg version. It's a beautiful light. Very well made and really feels sturdy. Only problem is that it is quite slippery in my hand.
I was hoping to mod the G6 xpg with an xml but the pill on the xpg version is crap. I wish it was similar to the beefy pill in the uf-2100.
Anyone know if the pill on G6 xml is better/different than the one on the G6 xpg ?
I Just ordered the XML version, if the pill is crappy I might just upgrade it with a 1.4 AMC driver and NW XML.
I like the XP-G version but I wish it had a "low" setting instead of the Strobe setting.
It is quite a thrower for a light with that size reflector.
$20 you cant go wrong, wish i had waited for the xml version but no regrets. initially the light was a bit flaky though , i had to solder a small spring on the driver and add more solder to the pill to "ground' it better.
the modes didnt work as advertised - memory mode on this = fail. it actually remembers high mode but always skips to the next mode on all others ...
regarding pocket carry its not bad but pocket carry needs a clip IMO and its a bit heavy esp. sitting sideways in you pocket.
certainly not a light to run on high for more than 5 minutes but otherwise it looks nice and has been riding along in my back pack since.
I received my G6 XML and been using it for a few days now and really like it, Really bright but I doubt this light could take the heat on high as just in seconds it got very hot. I really like the size but its quite heavy, yes I know its STEEL. 
Now I'm looking for same size as this G6 or smaller but on aluminum.
Update, I finally decided to mode my G6 XML as the stock driver produce 3.5A which is too much for the led and the Body, can't even use the light for a minute on high as in just a few seconds it got too hot. Replaced it with NW XML and 1.4A driver which the body now handles well.
Now I have a spare 3.5A driver for my next project.
