Fandyfire STL-V6( skyray thrower clone) substitute for only $26?

Actually I was eyeing this one too, but I think the host is of similar design, but the DX version is much smaller. 58mm head compared to the X6’s 80mm head

I meant the actually wires which go to the led die. I completely destroyed them when I lifted off the dome.

The uf-x6s seems to have a very similar, if not the exact reflector, as the stl-v6. I’m not sure if the 58mm listed on the site is fully accurate.

Head is only 58mm, V2 is 62. 5 mode where as V2 is only 3 and not nearly as bright but
does have a slightly smaller hot spot. I have been waiting for someone to come up
with a good 2cell driver to mod this and a couple of others I have. Yes I did get it to go
with my X6 but was a bit disappointed with it. Pretty good for the money but not quite
the quality overall of the V2. Hope this helps.

Wow the X6 is big. I love it! Thanks for the pictures mazdahatch, they were great :slight_smile:

One other small thing with the quality of the UF-X6S was if you look at the front you will
notice that the cut-outs on the bezel are all uneven which annoyed me. Or maybe I’m just fussy.

Nothing compares to visual aids… That’s a perfect pic.

the smaller X6S and light to its right are almost clone copies of a Surefire M3lT…
I never realized how small and the overall shape is nearly identical…
I have an X6 on its way. Its a beast in size…Hopefully a driver swap will bring out its
potential…Nice pics

On the up side, it does have a glass lens and an aluminium reflector but the pill
does not contact much of the body at all. There is at least a 1mm gap between the
pill and body with minimal contact top and bottom. At the very least it probably be have to
wrapped like a P60 to be driven any harder.




Well that is quite the letdown…I thought this light looked promising but as always, price dictates….

I really appreciate the response mazda96hatch. I guess DX’s measurements are correct after all. I’m disappointed this light can’t match the stl-v2.

What made you doubt DX’s measurements in the first place, if I may ask?

I assume it is because people thought they were the same/similar hosts. Therefore the head diameter should have been the same.

DX isn’t always 100% accurate and the two lights seemed very similar in dimension. I have ordered the Small Sun ZY-T13, and considering it is only $24, I hope it is at least somewhat comparable to the FandyFire.

Welcome to the addiction, TrakTuned!

Doesn't help at all :bigsmile: (still waiting for my X6 to arrive...)

Congrats on the buy, the T13 is an excellent light for the price.

All you need is a single 0.5ohm resistor mod for it to reach or surpass STL-V6.

By the way, you do know your STL-V6 emitter is easily replaceable, right? A T6 star is only about $4 shipped on Dinodirect.

+1

Replacing the emitter is easy and cheap

Its pretty easy probably takes longer to trar the light down then replace the led

Does this X6s work well or at all with 1 cell? I mean, does it keep a constant current same as 2 cell (~1A)?
