Hi-Max T6 x 3 Flashlight (2 x 26650 Triple XM-L)

It's been out for quite a while now, at least two weeks. This is a sort of TR-3T6 but with two 26650 instead of two 18650. Look well built and that it could do more than 2.5A per LED by looking at the body/fins.

Looks nice and seems like it is driven quite hard at 7.5A total, but it's 59 + $10 to my door! I'd try my luck with DX's TR-J12 5*T6.

I could run the TR-J12 as a super shorty at 150mm long with a 1 x 26650 with the JM05 tube, fits perfectly. 1400 lumens OTF when fresh.

It looks like the battery tube is actually made from two parts like it could use only one battery, but the input voltage is 5v minimum so it can't work with only one battery. Unless the specs are wrong, for example, reflector: OP, it's obviously not OP.

If it has LV protection, then it would not work with 1 cell. But if it just cuts out of regulation and runs "direct drive" and slides gracefully, then no issue. That is what's happening with the Trustfire TR-3T6 and TR-J12.

Did you actually buy this and if so how well does the light work?

Dont care much for the tube where your hand would go. Looks uncomfortable. I'm with 2100, a TR-J12 for $70 at DX is a much better deal and proven performer.

Must have.

Is it a drop-in or screw-in?

Would I be wrong i thinking it is Screw-in

Sorry guys, I do not not have it.

if this will run off one cell w/o driver mod I will definitely own it

if it is anything like the trustfire 3T6, it will be able to.

The spec say voltage 5.0 to 8.4v so no

yes, that's what I think, too

if it is well built, and there's a good space for a different driver I might buy it anyway...

The front part looks good but the rear looks cheap. Is it a screw in ?

The TR-J12 is supposed to work only in this range : 8.4~18V, However 2100 says his works with one cell only. So maybe this 5.0 to 8.4v Hi-Max might work too. The battery tube looks made of two parts, like it would work with only one battery.

The TR-J12 does work all the way down to ~3v, although you need 5v+ for “full” output. There’s something I like about this triple but I must resist. :slight_smile:

My TR-J12 works with 4 AAs. That’s like 4.8V?
