Rey's Titanium X6, re-make

Nice mod. This has got to be close to the record for most output in a small light! And those aspire cells will make the runtime a bit more usable. :+1:

Very nice :+1:

I dug out a reserve pair of the newer dark purple Efest 18350’s that I have stored with my Mokume Gane 18350 Sinner when I take it out places. Freshly charged, these 2 newer cells let this Ti X6 Triple XHP-50.2 do 10,315.5 lumens! WACK!

Far and away the most of any X6 I’ve ever made, especially considering the 18350 cell status! Remarkable!

Edit: These 2 newer cells allow 15.87A at the tail. :wink: When I first built up this light I made it a quad Nichia 219C. It was capable of pulling 21A from a single LG HE-4 cell. I was a bit afraid to use it at that level, making some 4500 lumens as I recall. So now I’ve more than doubled the output while keeping the current draw at about 65% of that huge number I had before. I Like It! lol

Just wow. How long until gets too hot?
What bin are the LEDs? J4?

You created a monster. Well done :smiling_imp: :+1:

Yeah Agro, J4 5700K.

Dale…please be careful. You could steralize this side of the planet with that X6 :open_mouth:

Gonna point it at Houston first, if that works I may well be onto something… :wink:

Hey db, i am new here… is that light for sale?? The 8000 lumen triple xhp 50.2. Lmk thanks.

Newlumen, no, afraid not. It’s kinda special as it was a Custom that Rey had produced. I’m a titanium nut, so with the X6 being my favorite light and this being a small run in Titanium from a member here, well, it won’t be going anywhere.

Testing it outside tonight the sheer output shone on the sides of railroad cars over 1200 yds away. And it would appear I fried a Trit vial. One of 2 green ones is now not illuminating. No visible damage, it’s just not glowing any more. It fires up green under a UV light, but is otherwise dark. These are like 2mm x 12mm in the head. There’s 10 of em. Yeah, I know. The trit vials cost as much as the Ti host did, nearly. There’s a 1.5 x 6 in the tail cap.

They’re very delicate, crack easily and the gas escapes, even through the glue.
Too much heat :smiling_imp:

Triple XHP50.2 wowsers!
this must be a difficult situation, either blow 10K lumens or have trits glowing for a long time.

I’m not suggesting anything, but Cutter has K2 bin in stock :wink:
I guess a wider opening is not reasonably doable in this host?
Could you share some more pics of the interior?

Just did some calculations based on djozz tests of XHP50.2. Getting the exact numbers from his chart is hard, so the results are not great, but I got 10893 LED lumen. Are the numbers that you quote LED lumens or OTF lumens?

My numbers are out the front, from the assembled light. On this one, the numbers given were at start on fresh charged cells. Many people argue that this is misleading, but when you’re pulling 15+ Amps from a 650mAh 18350 , well, it’s a very steep slope. (24.41C…Yikes!)

Wider opening? The head takes a 35mm optic, it was made for the CUTE-3 with a 32mm Noctigon. This X6 was made as a host and the buyer had to finish the build. I want to disassemble it and use some thermal compound between the copper pill and titanium head, so I’ll get some pics (should already have some from back when it was bought but I’ve got so many pictures I’m not finding these somehow…)

Much as I’d like to go with the next bin up from Cutter I probably won’t be shopping at Cutter anymore. After spending $25 DHL shipping to get a dozen XP-L W2 2B emitters and having V6 1D arrive in their stead, and nothing done about it, that was it for me.

More images posted in the OP. :wink:

Huh, same thing happened to me! Same XP-L W2 2B crap, V6’s instead. It’s a big cost hit to take, plus the wait….never again….done with that BS!

Really cool pics of your light Dale! :+1:

Thanks Kawi,

I was thinking, with the pair of half cells, that it would probably do something like 6,000 maybe, a bit more? Boy was I surprised! It’s too much, of course, for this size light… even with the chunky copper pill. But then, there are all those other mode levels I suppose…

Yeah, it was neat that Cutter had top bins and components you can’t find elsewhere, like the Khatod optic in this build, but if he’s not going to ship what you’re buying, and not going to fix an error without it costing you even more, well, just bugger’s up the whole deal. I was willing, and told him so, to buy another dozen and just keep the V6 1D’s so they wouldn’t have to be shipped back. All he’d have to have done is pay the shipping on the correct dozen emitters. I probably even would have let him use the cheaper shipping method, but …

Damn thats a purty host

Updated pertinents at the bottom of the OP. I switched wires from 20ga to 22ga, also soldered star 2 for moon mode. Actually increased ground and got better output even with smaller wires! lol Ok, so I’ll have to avoid level 7…
