The M6 has triple Cree XM-L2 T6 3C LEDs which pull around 20 amps on turbo.
Yes, the E17As certainly are special and the Optisolis 6500K is currently (as far as I know) the highest CRI LED available.

My top 5 at the moment would probably be (in no particular order):
1) Lumintop GT94vn - just a beast and a great combination of flood and throw.
2) Bobralight SC64c/w - it’s hard for me to choose the emitter 219b sw35, sw45k or XHP35 HI 90+ CRI. All beautiful in their own way, but if I had to choose the HI 90+ CRI for it’s versatility.
3) Noctigon K9.3 - 219b sw35 primaries and SST20 deep red secondaries. It is my go to house light at night.
4) Acebeam X80GTvn - a wall of light that’s unforgiving. Perfect for ceiling or all bounce photography indoors. People forget the importance of lighting and it’s hard to get with group shots.
5) Noctigon K1 w2 blue - it’s just a different beast. I prefer over the SBT90, the W1 green and w2 red. It’s just special.
*Almost made the cut D18 sw35, KR1vn SBT90 and Acebeam L35.
What a setup! and your honerable mentions had me looking at acebeam L35's for an hour yesterday thank you very much lol!
i didn't realize how dangerous this thread would be for me. seeing all of these awesome lights! yikes!
jon_slider and Geuzzz - can you help a neophyte by naming the lights in your photos? thanks!
From left to right:
Olight S mini ti (modded with 7a XML2)
Eagletac D25C ti (modded with sst20 3000k and BLF A6 driver)
Jetbeam TCR1 ti (modded to triple 219b SW35)
Acebeam TK16 copper (modded with 219b SW30)
these 4 are so nice!
I definitely have a new FLF list to share, it may take me until midnight where I'll 5 minutes again but I'll post it!
5 plus one … just in case.
You like green lights
I want to keep em all ! But this is what I played with this week .
Emisar D4V2
Emisar DT8
Nightwatch NSX3
Noctigon K9.3
WT90
Awesome setup! Id keep them lol
Damn, cant disagree with this hah. DT8 and WT90 are 2 of my top "lights of the year" candidates
OK, so I almost feel like i am cheating because now i am posting some lights that after more thought i should've posted last week (cough cough K75 cough..) So i feel like it is ok if this list changes week to week. I definitely meant to include this Convoy and forgot about it because it doesn't sit with all of my other lights. the M21a with cslpm1 is the best bang for buck light of any i own. ok, here it is:
Emisar DT8 - xpl-hi 4000k 5D
Convoy M21a - CSLPM1, 6amp driver
Acebeam K75 - yes!
Noctigon KR1 - sft40 (the BEST setup! Perfect beam)
Skilhunt M300 - xhp35 HI 4000k, Hi CRI (so awesome, i got this week, and i already know I will never sell it. Really surprised me). Thanks to members Mpblitt and ID30209 for making this light the way it is and helping it find me hah.
Zebralight H603c - my most used light. Mainly used during hobbyist activities and modding.
Zebralight SC64w HI - excellent all-round EDC light.
Modded Emisar D4V1. I like this one, because it works well, is unique, and is special because I modded it myself.
Jetbeam TCR-01 - beautiful titanium light with great interface and look.
Lumintop FWAA Ti-Cu with 4000K SST20. For when I’m the mood for something smaller.
Note: My “favorite lights” list changes frequently, depending on my mood or what I just got. It’s entirely likely I would have a different answer next week.
Quite easy, I only have 5.
- Sofirn SP40
- Convoy S21B with KW CULPM1.TG
- Convoy S11 with GT FC40
- Convoy S2 + with 219B
Nice!
Nice! I need to see a pic of that D4V1 !
Here you go. This is how it looks now:
Oh yeah. It also has a steel bezel and the body tube is from a D4v2.
Here are a few pictures from when I was modding it. Initial builds had a taller switch, but I was able to flatten it some through further modding. Here is an early version:
First attempt. Using a cut down lighted tailcap board. This only had 2 aux leds in it:
I wasn’t happy with how unbalanced the switch light looked coming from just 2 LEDs. So I redid the aux board around the switch. The new one is entirely scratchbuilt. I used a thin sheet of plastic, super-glued each led into position, and then connected them all up using a conductive ink pen. Much better:
The metal switch button is actually just an aluminum disk glued onto a piece of translucent silicone. I then glued the silicone so that it completely covered and sealed the switch opening. Finally for the switch rim I glued on a filed down chrome-plated brass finishing washer.
Nice job ! That looks cool !
Very nice mod Firelight2!
