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.
There is a discussion about whether it really is a good idea. I potted mine with heatsink compound and it still kicks down after 2-3 minutes on high. I personally am fine with it as this light does not need to be used on high constantly.
I bought mine from Rey @ Aliexpress and for $1.50 you get a spare lens, o’rings and switch. Mine was $89.90 shipped DHL and I got it in 2 days!!! He also did an excellent job packing it. Rey is very quick on shipping your orders also…
Pron! Flashlight pron that is. What a great light. Every owner opinion I remember seeing is about how nice it is build and how well it performs in both flood and throw. Some wanted more throw but that does not stop them saying it is a very good value light. Congratulations to you rikr. I am a little bit green right now ;-) because I've always been partial to that model myself. And now it is outstanding value for money since they have come below 100 $.
I am still on the fence about it though since I would probably mod it and that seems like a lot of money for a mod host. But that is just me...
