I just retested the STL-V2 and the X6 and the X6 throws further… I have a tower that’s 600 feet away and the X6 lights it up. It wasn’t dark enough the first time I tested them. I’m very happy now!!
That’s okay then, thanks for the pics. They bettered my understanding of the X6
When I get mine I’m going to test the crap out of it. Get every single piece of information out of it. Then we can decide if it’s good enough for everyone to get
Well my thoughts are that it’s big, bright and has adequate fins to cool it at 9 amps.
I’ll test out everything in it’s stock 6.5 amp form while I wait for everything else to arrive, then after I mod it I’ll test it again.
What’s a rattle can finish? When you say beacon mode is the only mode, you mean that every few seconds is flashes?
And saying ‘X6 is the bomb’ means that the x6 is good. I am confused as to what you are trying to say.
I have had the X6 for eighteen months now and still love it. It is very bright, throws great and has great flood too. The build quality is outstanding and the metal-work is the best I have seen - even compared with the SureFire UB3T! Saying that would probably be considered sacrilege over on CPF where anything **Fire other than SureFire seems to be regarded as outright junk. No doubt this USED to be somewhat true and maybe still is in some cases, but not with the X6. The X6 is a great light and it is NOT a copy of some other light.
It would be good to see more TrustFire lights of the X6 quality. I don’t think the X100 is in that league.
It is also worth looking at the reviews of the X6 on DX where there did appear to be some early problems (now long overcome) and the review by FX-32 here. Also, for those who may not know, a spare parts set can be had from Manafont and DX has spare reflectors and switches.
