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

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:

1. Chicagox

2. Gords1001

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

2. Gords1001

A friend ‘needs’ one of these as well……

So, four more candidates, and according to ric, a group buy is on.

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:

Apex ST6 uses 7135x6 driver. We have no tools to test the PWM for the moment, but 7135 driver is very common and stable.

Though the reflector is SMO, the beam is very nice, no rings around the hotspot.

Build quality is very nice too, surely worth 40+usd. So Group buy price 25usd worth every penny.:slight_smile:

Ric, I live in the united kingdom, fancy flashlights won’t accept my post code, it tells me a zip code should be numeric, I don’t have a zip code just a post code. Can you help? I’m ready to pull the trigger but an obstinate web system seems to be stopping me.

I’ve never ordered of cnqualitygoods before so not sure if I’d be able to buy this there either :frowning:

They certainly ship to the UK - I got the DQG through the group buy some time ago. I seem to remember that if you put all your address in the one field, including the postcode, it will be OK. Just ignore the zip code field.

Cool, I’ll give that a go. Thanks :bigsmile:

Jobs a good ’un, went through fine.

For anyone in the UK interested, it worked out at £16.51. My letter box is about to become the most watched thing in the UK…… :bigsmile:

That is soooo tempting, just £16.51! I wish you hadn’t posted the cost in GBP !!!
