It’s a 6x for $35 and comes with 3 26650’s and a charger.
I like the 6x for modding. It’s a decent size reflector for 6. It’s going to get 6 de-domed MXL U2’s that I have laying around on noctigons and two of the 5amp 3x IO drivers. (Lightmalls has them 5 for $32) I’ll run it with the Sony 50a 26650’s.
The batteries and charger will be good enough for some of my single 26650 lights.
I also bought one non-flashlight deal for my wife. It’s a dual core JXD android emulator game console for $59 it’s a steal and a great bribe for me spending this much on lights. They usually sell for about $89 on sale.
I have never had a credit card either, but I have a debit card with buyer protection on it from my credit union. I can transfer money on-line from my saving account onto the account with the card. I got it for when I go on vacation and need to rent a car or whatnot. I also use it to pay my bills on-line and it has frequent flyer miles, so once a year I get a free ticket out of it too. I’m sending my wife back to see her family in Monterey California this year. Last year I went to Fairbanks Alaska to visit one of my Army buddies. We have a disabled son so one of us has to stay home with him.
I love my credit union. I won’t use a regular bank and I haven’t paid a cent in interest to anyone in over 20 years.
Here we can get a credit card ($7 yearly fee), and it’s 0% interest because it’s pre-paid. No fee to move funds to it, no service fee’s to use it, etc! Totally free all around except the $7 yearly fee. So when you go to buy something online, just transfer the exact amount to it (happens instantly), then voila. Super secure and great way to have a credit card.
The SST-90 emitter will put out more lumens but it can’t touch the XM-L2 for throw. And now with copper stars you can push the amps up so high that it’s . With a de-domed XM-L2 you will still get around 1500 lumens vs 2500 and about 6 times the throw (Kcd).
It’s a fairly simply mod and makes a huge difference for the better. I have modded ZY-T08’s with the same driver that is in the T90 and with a de-domed XM-L2 it smokes the stock T-90. I can’t see any point in lugging around a huge light like the T90 unless it really throws and it doesn’t do that well with the SST-90.
I do look for SST-90 and SST-50 hosts though because they are generally designed for good heatsinking because the SST emitters produce a ton of heat.
