TrustFire X6 SST-90 5-Mode 2300 Lumens LED Flashlight (3x18650)

KD are selling it for $140.50

Now we need someone to be guinea pig and make a review!

Who would dare to take the challenge ?

We need to start some 'BLF funds for reviews', not necessarily for this light (because it's so expensive), but in general. I would easily pay 0.5-2 $ to see some reviews of certain lights that haven't been reviewed so far. The reviewer gets a free light, which is randomly bought (read - not selected by vendor). So all sides win. Or is that a bad idea?

Nice find, and so much cheaper!

Or some dealer could send one of us a test sample for reviewing and testing.

Part of the deal is that the sample is sended back after testing.

I think that lightake would be a good candidate for this because the free advertising space that they are getting here...

Err.. I'd think 10 times before ordering a $140 flashlight through the net.

When spending serious money, I'd like to be able to test out the item first

The only cheap and safe Chinese reseller that I know of that makes it cost effective to return merchandise within the US is DX. They can usually price match their competition and refund, exchange or credit broken or returned merchandise. If the merchandise is broken, they will pay up to 1/3rd the cost of the item to return it to their US location.

If DX carried this light and the reviews were good, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt it could do well on only 3 x 18650's.

They have increased the price to $149.99

Trustfire SST 50 VS Olight SR50 beamshot compare

The best way to do a beamshot comparison would be to take a side-by-side photo with manual exposure stopped down until the hotspots do not saturate.

When you use auto-exposure like that, the camera will try to expose such that stuff in the flood area is not too dark, which results in the hotspot saturating the sensor (which have limited dynamic range compared to human eyes) so it's impossible to tell which is brighter.

I have to add to this that i had that Trustfire SST-50 ordered from lightake.com. It measured only about 3000lux in my lightbox. As comparison my Mag85 reads about 5300lux and WF-1300L is around 5000lux

So it won't go near 1300lumen. Also tailcap reading was 1.8 - 2.0A

So again i'm highly suspicious about that X6...

That should be almost 4A to the emitter. Lux in and of itself doens't necessarily tell the whole story, as it's only a measure of throw, not output.

I can tell you, for sure it wasn't that bright what they advertise

My WF-1300L blows it away clearly

Nope. Lux is simply a measure of the quantity of energy on a given area. 1 lux is 1 lumen per square metre. It is not distance dependent, hence a throw measurement is a number of lux at a given distance.

In a lightbox where the intent is to integrate all the output, you get a number of lux which is the "averaged out" number of lumens per square metre under those conditions.

If the box is calibrated to absolute units then you can read lumens directly off the integrating device. This is harder than it seems.
