It might be working this time, I have a different reference number and this one looks right. May be Im not used to the site and was doing something wrong.
Edit: Seems it was my mistake, its working as expected now.
Well, since I have one (and one more on order), I have done a few mods over time, and my loyalty is at the BLF community, I guess I can do a small review one of these days :-)
It is of similar quality as the Convoys and Eagle Eye's, but this model is a bit different, so if you like the style: yes you want one. The finish is great, everything fits well and comes apart easily, there's no unpleasant surprises like hollow pills and such, there's a good heat path from led to pill to body, the body has enough meat in the right places that the heat can spread well, without the light having a fat head the reflector throws noticably better than the tube style lights, with a distinct hotspot, the switch is not too tiny, the driver is 17mm (a familiar one, same as in the Eagle Eye flashlights: high PWM, good mode spacing), stock the output of the XM-L is 600 lumens.
I'd say it has everything to easily make a fine pocket rocket of it, and that is my plan with one of them :-)
I will post a short picture-review tonight (have to go coffee-drinking around the corner with the family now -life is tough-)
Interesting. Seems like so far the SupFire brand has had a good level, consistent quality, and is typically a nice platform for modding. I've seen or heard nothing of any degrading of quality or consistency, and they've been around for a while. Impressions below:
The C8 T6:
head style and basic size appears to match up well to the SupFire L6, and the L6 has a true standard C8 pill, though with a raised top. I'm thinking the C8 T6 will have the same pill as the L6, not sure though, but if it does, can be replaced with a brass one like I did with the L6 (Post #1: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/26046)
simple typical 5 mode (ugh) but should have a good mode memory like the L6
The A6:
looks like a nice quality 18650 EDC
I'd go by djozz's recommendation for sure - seems to be typical SupFire quality - nothing really special or outstanding, but solid value, quality parts and build, nice and moddable
So from the picture it’s an aluminum pill — the silvery metal part that has threads and screws into the head — but I don’t see the two dimples (like you can see in the C8 picture) so how does it unscrew?
Got my 3 SupFires today (post #52), all in excellent condition, packed well, all are working well. The threads were dry, so lubed them up with Nyogel and that was it. The F3-L2 zoomie is pretty darn nice for $12, and with an XM-L2. I just modded up a UF T6-875, comparing side by side, the F3-L2 is much shorter, can tailstand, no mode memory but reset to high in like 1 sec, and has a flood width that match's the 875 which is pretty good because the 875 is the widest I have. Also, it appears to be perfectly focused when zoomed in for max distance - can see all the XM-L2 bumps clearly. It appears the optic match's the 875's in width too. The C8 is classic SupFire styling, overall quality looks good, and the A6 is a nice little light too, nice clean beam pattern. Not too crazy the A6 and C8 can't tailstand because of bumped out buttons, but I'll see if it's fixable.
Dang - now I'm look'n at these: dhgate-5-xml-u2-supfire-l1 and dhgate-supfire-x6 - Oh boy... The X6 is a classic 2 cell thrower and seems to match up to a STL-V6 well, but cheaper, and it's a SupFire.
Thanks Tom E. I’ve got a friend who really likes zoomies but doesn’t appreciate the aesthetics/size of any of the 18650 pocket zoomies on the market. The large [ineffectively finned] heads, the fluted bodies, etc really just don’t sit well with him (or me!). The only pocket sized 18650 zoomie that ever satisfied him was the EDI-T P4… which is pitifuly weak by today’s standards (and he’s misplaced it anyway). Sounds like the F3-L2 is a good option in terms of aesthetics and power. The head is still much larger than his old EDI-T, but I think this is the closest thing to that light that I’ll see any time soon.
