APEX ST6 Stainless Steel CREE XM-L T6 600-Lumen 1x18650 3-mode Flashlight

It could be very hot on high mode in minutes!

It won’t, SS doesn’t conduct heat well

Lots of good questions. Nice looking light!

NW option will be available soon.

CW is ready for ship.

Thanks
RIC

Can you put a 3T6 in the ST6?

If the group buy is in august and nw, I’m in, I love the look of that, as said, a stainless tail cap boot in the brass tail cap would make it perfect.

Looks very nice, I especially like the brass heatsink section. Seems well thought out and I was surprised at the relatively low price point. You’d probably move a few of these over on CPF at almost twice the price…

Any plans for an OP reflector?

I’m in for a GB.

List:

1) Chicago X

I’m In if there’s a NW Tint and with Laser Engraved name/Logo. :smiley:

List :- :cowboy_hat_face:

I have to have one, if nw is not available i’ll just do an emitter/ld-25 driver swaop in due course :cowboy_hat_face:

LIST:

1. Chicago X - 2 torches

Please please please hold off till august……

Toni will only see this as a blunt _ing object if I order it this month….

I gave a SS 503B to a friend about three months ago (Giggly-giggly “stainless, me wants! Shiney! Me give!!!”). Although I told him to best use an incandescent bulb for the time being, he insisted on an XM-L dropin (yes, with stomping feet and everything) - so, I got him a SF three-mode XM-L as well. Funny how grown-up men in their late 30s can be, sometimes.

surprisingly, the stainless torch does get hot within minutes, actually.

even more surprisingly, the dropin and emitter have both hold up quite well, so far.

Personally, I’d bore out the head as much as possible, then press in a copper sleeve with a conical bore; for a snug press-fit of the dropin.

Conclusion: While SS might not be the greatest choice for a heatsink, I guess it is still better than, let’s say, composite plastic.

I’M In for X2.

PWM? If it becomes available with an OP reflector and high frequency PWM then I’d be in.

Ld-25 driver, bye bye pwm…. :bigsmile:

Yes I’ve just built something with one, no there is not any pwm, or blinkies, yes I very very much like it. :bigsmile:
