Review: Digital Projector LED Spotlight Cree T6

Double wow!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Hi Richie!

Yeah actually I did see your mod already, but I don’t know how did you charge your cells without taking the cells out everytime when you want to recharge it? Do you fix a charging board inside?

Hi Bibihang, at this point I have the light dismantled in order to try upgrading it with a more powerful driver which will also require additional cooling. So I haven’t had a chance to figure out a better way to recharge the 18650 cells while still in the light. As soon as I make some headway, I’ll be sure to post about it. :wink:

110k cd is quite nice for 50 bucks! I believe the LX1010B reads a wee bit more optimistic, we can safely put it as 100k cd. :slight_smile: It could have been driven better as you can see from both the pure spill + ceiling bounce with the light meter, the difference is unmistakable (though you said you measured 3A + at the LED, not sure what happened there). If you do mod it, i think 150k cd is doable.

I think i’ll pull the trigger and get that 19.5cm diameter light, and see what happens. 71 bucks shipped to here in SG.

I think, i will “open” the reflector and as heatsink i will use THIS

Andi, whatever you end up trying, please take a few interior shots so we can see the install. I’m really into giving my mtg2 LED a try in this reflector to see how the beam is. I’m still working on a few ideas to deal with the extra heat involved using a 3.5a driver and the mtg2. I’ll keep you all posted as I progress with it.

WOW nice tight beam! Is this like a best budget thrower but a really huge one?

Well, it’s a well made light and throws well, but moderately driven. So heat it’s a problem and the lead acid 4v battery is 7500mAh, so you get very long run times. One of mine I’m in the process of upgrading the XML to an MT-G2, and a more powerful driver. It’s going to take a while to get all the parts. But when complete, I’ll post about it.

I noticed they’ve sold 9 of these lights since I’ve posted about it. Has anyone from this forum purchased one and received it?

Mine don´t pass the customs. :_(

Sorry to hear that. I’d like to know why they refused it. Maybe they thought it had Li-ion cells in it or that an X-ray showed it had the battery installed.

Man, I hate hearing about stories like that! |( … and it isnt my package. I hope this works out for you Andi.

Problem was the implemented battery…no Manual/Type of battery, Signs, and so on.

Thx for your condolence.

I just noticed this light last night and instantly thought MG-T2. How is your MG-T2 mod going?

I ordered one from this vendor. $30 and maybe includes another flashlight with it. Don’t know the vendor, but decided to risk it.

EDIT: Looking at the 8the picture in the bottom section, it appears that the pill/reflector design may have changed.

Well, the vendor refused to ship me the light in the above link because the light is so heavy. So I ordered one for $44. Hopefully, this vendor will ship it. I really want to MG-T2 one of these.

I’ve ordered one of these - to be delivered to UK. So far I’m still waiting.

Hi pdh and welcome to the forum.

The light has some potential, but I wouldn't have purchased mine if I could turn back the clock. I started a thread here. I still do intend to finish mine and am hoping for a surprise.

If the vendor has not shipped yet, you can probably still cancel the order. I have before with Ali with good success. I just select "accidentally purchased the wrong item" or something to that effect. If you do purchase the light, I look forward to hearing how it goes for you. I still have high hopes for mine. I just wish it had a more sturdy and shinier reflector.

It’s a nice looking light, but it isn’t a mod friendly light. I think mine needs a battery replacement already too.

Hi, I liked the original images of the spot beam you posted. I’m not that interested in modifying it at present, just having the tight beam will probably do what I need. However it may end up being powered from the 12v supply in my 4x4, with suitable voltage regulator.

Thanks, I liked the design a lot. It looks special projector to me.
