X6 TRIPLE VS. THE WORLD.

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing your great pics.

For a while now, I have felt that a Nichia 219B triple, such as the one you built, would be ideal for most indoor tasks, and many outdoor ones as well. I love the super wide "hot spot" created by the triple. I also try to stay with high CRI, so the Nichias are perfect.

As I recall, the ThorFire C8s has a regulated driver that does not use PWM. If my memory is right, then output should not increase when using a medium- or high-draw battery. I run mine on an NCR18650B.

Unfortunately I did not build this one. I got it in trade. I am planning an X5 quad build though.

Or mod the C8s as far as I can. Makes a great pocket thrower.

Nice Beetle!

Thank you. It’s for sale/trade. Chico CA craigslist.

Cool car but may get back into wheelin. Just don’t drive it.

Do a fet+7135*1 driver in the C8s

Nice pics glad u like it :slight_smile:

Just ordered an S2 xpl-hi 3b for $21. The C8 can wait. I like the look of these better and now I have a “matching” thrower and flooder.

Figured it’s not much more $ and I have another light. Haha.

Did you do the build? Do you know who did?

Yep jealous of both. Would like to have a bus for camping.

I prefer the hardtop campers. My 68 is a deluxe passenger bus but it has an old accessory under the rear seat that allows it to fold out flat to the rear deck. Some curtains and a sleeping bag I am good to go. No extra weight of the sink or fridge either.

Buses are good for Wheelin’ too. Yes thats Me. Thrashin in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey.

How about the X6 triple vs the S2+ triple?

Also which nichias are both the S2+ triple and the X6 triple? 219b? 219c? (219c are availabel in 5000k)

16

I’ll get some beamshots tonight. I have XPL-HI 1A in my s2+.
X6 has nichia. Unknown Tint. It’s a little more white than my 5k M43.
Bot are direct drive.

Glad you like the X6 triple, it’s been a favorite of mine for a few years now. Something about that Eagle Eye X6 that just really appeals to me. The host I built yesterday makes 2018 lumens on a single XP-L emitter. :slight_smile: I think I’ve built an X6 in just about every configuration imaginable.

It’s also fun to put a short tube on an X6 and run it from an 18350. :smiley:

Had a Sea Blue 66 Bug. :cry:

But is it 219b or 219c (Not a tint but LED type) 219c's are more efficient and brighter.

Wasn’t told by PO. Any way I can tell by looking at them?
