7 T6 XML led squeezed in 2.185" bezel is no good. It's not wide enough. Initially I thought it was seller has made a mistake on the specs, therefore I sent a message to ask if it was true! I'm very interesting to this light & now have to wait reviews to make my decision.
Just got my today
the head is 70mm not 55mm (J12 62cm)
much less power consumption than J12 in all 5 modes even with 2 more XM-L
5 minutes on high not even warm (J12 getting quite hot in 5 minutes)
brighter with 3 cells
shorter than J12
pretty much the same brightness as J12 (on high)

Can you get a reading at the tail and see how much power it uses?
Thanks for the information!

Measured or by eye?
Back to topic: When I get my 7 x XM-L light, I won’t give it to my kids (them being 16- and 18 y.o.). Anything this powerful, especially as a multi-cell light, is not a kid’s toy!
You seriously are over-parenting your kids - I’m 17 myself and my parents don’t mind my little collection of lights, never did (or even thought of doing) any silly stuff with them, such as blinding people, car drivers etc.

I think you missed my point. :)
They are not flashaholics (at least not yet) and not interested in checking / matching cell voltages. Giving them a multi cell light would simply be too dangerous.
Edit: Let me rephrase: Giving a multi cell light to anyone not interested in checking voltages would be too dangerous. (IMHO)

Well, I’m pretty sure I know better what people of my age are like than ones who are way above my age
Also that wasn't a parenting advice ;)

Ok. Thanks!
I always get strange results from my equipment like 5.95A from J12 with 2 cells on high, so my reading is not reliable.
Hey oatmanutd, can you also tell me how the retailer shipped it, was it in a box and then placed in a plastic shipping envelope, did it arrive in perfect condition or was there any damage to it. What is your general impressions of the light? Thanks.
Some of the users on the German forum posted a 1.5A draw at tailcap! So it isn't very bright. But of course, he might have a lemon
I got mine today and I am quite disappointed. The Trustfire TR-J12 is clearly brighter.
The Dry and the TR-J12 have about the same brightness. The TR-J12 has the bigger spot and is visibly brighter than the Keygos.
If you have to decide for one light, then buy the Trustfire or the Dry (or both) but not the Keygos unless you want to
change the driver anyway.
Good to have you here, lumenhunter.

That's very disappointing to hear to say the least. I suppose the only thing to do is figure out if a better driver can be installed in it, and assuming it's also able to deal with greater heat generation. Since I've been looking to purchase my first 26650 capable light, I'd say the Trustfire TR-J12 is the way to go.
Thanks LumenHunter for chiming in.
Anyone else get one of these and\or do some testing? Can't live up to their claims, but I'm interested nonetheless. Ordered a Trustfire TR-J12, more trustworthy :-p Still..
Hi
Got my TR-J12 today. Compared it against the Keygos x7. Both with fresh eagletac 3x 18650 3100mah.
The spill is wider on the Tr J12 and equally as bright. The hotspot is slightly brighter on the Tr-J12 and similar in size.
I like the TR J12 more now. The claimed Keygos 8500 lumens is a let down compared to the trustfire 4500 lumen.
You don't need both, the Trustfire will do.
Hope this helps.
