FandyFire STL-V6

Are you sure that Jetbeam BC40 has a stronger throw than TK35? Did you test the TK35? Thanks for your news.

Is it just me or is the fandyfire stl-v6 the same as the trustfire t1? http://www.lightmalls.com/trustfire-t1-cree-xml-t6-1600lm-hight-brightness-long-range-torch-light-2-x-18650

Yes. The BC40 I had though had a smooth reflector. On the op ones it may not be the case.

No that has a smaller head and reflector, but is a good light

It looks like it. May be it is the same :)

I have a Trustfire TR-1600 that is just like that one. It won't touch the STL-V2 or STL-V6.

What do you mean?

Guys,

I'll put it to you like this. And Rick tried to tell me about a year ago. I didn't listen to him at first. I just kept on buying other XM-L throwers.

Take my word on it. Rick and I have most of all the good and higher priced XM-L throwers. And none of them for the money spent will beat the SkyRay STL-V2 or FandyFire STL-V6. That includes the Olight M3X, Crelant 7G5, Fenix TK41, Olight SR51, ThruNite Catapult V3, Sunwayman T40CS, or Sunwayman V60C. Heck even the Uniquefire UF-V2 for the money is a very nice light. But the FandyFire STL-V6 I have is probably in my top 3 XM-L throwers.

And remember I said for the money above.

I never said it would out throw the Crelant 7G5 so don't ask.

I love throwers and I can't find any way to justify getting another one because of the performance and price of my Skyray STL-V2. Really if you just need one thrower get this and you are done. If I ever see a good deal on this light I'll probably pick up another one just because it's too good to pass up.

The FandyFire STL-V6 is 9 and 3/8" in length and weighs only 12oz with 2 18650 batteries.

Thanks Brad... It was hard to believe what the FandyFire STL-V6 could do against $100+ lights so I bought the SkyRay STL-V2 for $10.00 more and they are the exact same light and these boys can throw with the best of of them!!!!

Rick,

Any light as I have already told you on the phone last week that gives the M3X all it wants and then some at 100yds to where I have trouble as you know when I was telling you the better thrower is one bad light. You can buy almost 3 of the FandyFire STL-V6 for what you pay for 1 M3X. And if the M3X does out throw it it is by maybe just a little bit.

I have just known there are the new barreties: LC Protected 18650 Rechargeable 3.7V "3600mAh" Li-ion Batteries

Can I use them with FandyFire STL-V6 or ... which battery can I use?

That's what I kept trying to tell you. It is so close that your looking at them for a long time trying to pick a winner.

I use TrustFire 2400 18650, or Hi-Max 2600 18650.

Those "3600" mah 18650s are rip offs. They are overrated and a 3100 mah battery would have much more capacity. With those you would be lucky to get 1000 mah out of them.

And with TrustFire Protected 18650 3.7V True 2400mAh ... how many mah can I get?

Those are generally closer to the rating. Probably 2200-2400 if you get genuine. I am in no ways an expert though.

A general rule of thumb is any 18650 with over 3100 mah capacity is a rip off.
