That would be a wonderful thing!! I love X6 hosts. It may be a pia for him though. Everyone that I’ve ever purchased from Gearbest had all of the other parts put in the same bag with the reflector so I’m sure you know how that story ends…luckily I mostly use the hosts for triples. It just makes me wonder if Gearbest does the crappy shipping or if they were shipped to Gearbest from Eagle Eye that way. I see that RMM often has marked down convoy hosts due to scratches and dings, hopefully he’s not having the same issue with any of the Jaxman hosts since he took them on. If he asks, Eagle Eye may ship them a specified way so not to damage anything.
Richard, my last XHP50.2 build was a FET +6 +1 and I set a PWM of 210 on my FET for turbo and that works great! Might be able to go 220 and get just a little more.
Thanks Khas! I worked on these for several months before ordering them, going through several iterations and ordering different boards for testing on FR4 before committing to the MCPCB run. To be fair, I didn't get the offset idea myself---the DSCHE quad MCPCBs also had offset angled LEDs. I didn't realize fully why until I got the TPAD MCPCBs and saw the beam pattern.
Are these the X6 hosts that some are talking about and hoping might show up, something like this one …?
I bought this built light from some guy who was living here in WA. but then to my recollection, which is horrible, and it’s been since about early last year when I bought this light from this fella, and he said something about needing cash, and moving, and something to do with lawyers, something like that, but don’t quote me, but he seemed like a really nice guy and so I bought the light and he sure did sell me one darn nice light it’s without a doubt one of my favorites and I sure have thought many times how it would be so nice to get some of these unbranded hosts available in Mt.s… host dept.,
Sure wish I could remember that fellas name… Hum
I carry this light a lot, every other day at least, and it has taken a beating but still the ano has held up nice,
I do use some Birtchwood Casey black to fix the scuffs now and then, but it is one awesome light,
I really do think the guy I bought this light from and who also claimed to have built it himself sure had to really know what he was doing, OR BSn me for sure,
The ano on this host is strong, the knurling is excellent, these would be a nice addition to the host department,
I think he called this light something like “The Other”… beats me, but the price was great for what I got, throws like crazy with just the perfect bit of spill, sure hope those lawyers never caught up with him…
Eagle Eye sells those direct for $22 a pair, that’s right, the hosts are $11 each direct from the manufacturer. And they’re still made with the excellent Type III ano, come with everything but the star, emitter and driver. Probably my favorite light, I know I’ve built a bunch of em since they came out a few years ago. Only have about 17 now, must be slipping…
