KEYGOS CREE XM-LT6

Here's a shot up the street about 150yds.

Wow, those are pretty long exposure shots. 3 seconds at f2.8 ISO 200.

My shots are like 0.2seconds f2.8 ISO 400. LOL!

I took this from the U80 review thread: http://www.shenzhen-wholesale.com/high-power-cree-xml-t6-led-aluminum-flashlight_sku4481.html?cPath=1_20 $20.95 plus shipping

And this is also supposed to be the same thing? http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafire-wf-950l-xm-lt6-5-mode-800-lumen-white-led-memory-flashlight-1-x-18650-1-x-17670-91135

It seems like Ultrafire offers the same flashlight under two completely different model numbers.

Is the keygos a rebrand of the UF u80? looks identical.

Yep or a perfect clone.

So has anyone else got this light yet? I was anxious to see what you guys think of it.

Still waiting for mine, probably it will arrive early next week.

Sounds good. That's still my favorite flashlight I have I think. Let me know what you think. Don't forget the beam shot pictures.

Of course, Pending beamshot comparison against my RQ(xm-l), Skyline 1 and X9.

This light has the promise to become my favorite and probably my hiking light. Of course that will be decided once I got it.

It might be, or might not be. The tailcap and body tone looks different from the pictures above. The U80 has even nicer HA than UF-980L, none of the machine marks visible.....actually on par with say a Solarforce MPP-1 or Dereelight DBS.

I'll weigh that light with a battery installed on my digital scale and tell you what it weighs.

6oz is all it weighs. Talk about light. That's battery and all. No other light this small will beat it that I know of.

And I would bet money this Keygos light will put out the exact same amount of light as the higher priced Ultrafire one.

A lot of lights with 40mm reflectors and driven at 2.5-2.8A current unregulated (very standard and typical for this range of single cell budget light) would be around the same. There is nothing special about the U80, C8, Keygos, under the various guises of Uniquefire, Supfire/Uranusfire/Trustfire MRV clones etc.... This range of lights has been extremely well tested. I actually have 6 types of this range of lights.

Great, looking forward to my Keygos.

BTW, you do know that there is a C8 SST-90 right? However that is pretty expensive (65 bucks), so i guess nobody even wants to buy and try modding. It sounds stupid too even with LiMn or Panasonic NCR18650CH (10 amps no sweat at all and does > 2Ah) coz it is single cell....but who am i to say, I have 4pcs of "12-15 amps" DD light. LOL!

The lumen specs on ebay/dealextreme are actually what we affectionately call "chinese lumens". There is nothing wrong with that. For the "12-15 amps" light which is only 150mm long, that would be approx 7000 chinese lumens. Laughing

But there might be a 3 cell SST-90 coming. It could be only 55mm reflector...so well not too much hope. 75mm would be really nice!

If you want to dabble in the throw arena and stay in the sub $30 range, try the HS-802. That one gets about 35-40k lux @ 1m, nearly double of your light.

The best 150mm long thrower would be the Dereelight DBS XR-E aspheric, and yes it is not cheap but it's still sub $100. They have the 1.5A pill now, if the heatsink is done correctly it should be comfortably over 70k. The DEFT is not available now, if not the high-output version may interest you. 150k!

This might interest you. (remember I told you that your pictures are 3 seconds exposure, well the stuff inside this thread is 1 second or "3X dimmer")

Funny, I just mentioned that the other day in another thread discussing these particular lights. You never hear about the SST-90 version. Probably because it's unnecessarily expensive for a light that is already bright for a dang good price.

Also, thank you for answering my question about his exposure time. I was wondering about that and searching for it but couldn't come up with anything. Three seconds does seem quite long. Do we have a standard for the "official" reviews done on this site for camera settings? That would help keep things consistent and reliable.

Well all I can say is this light in those pictures will do the exact same thing live and in person. I had that camera set on nite mode. But if you guys like I will take some more at a faster shutter speed when I can.

I think it's funny when some guys take pictures to share and others start analyzing the shutter speed. Heck buy you one and post pictures for yourself. You won't see me studying the pictures and trying to break down some molecular structure or something. You guys have too much time on your hands that do that. LOL!

I didn't mean anything negative. It just helps to know the shutter speed because that can make a big difference in how to interpret the output. It's not just petty analyzing. It's actually an important criteria to know if we're basing our purchases off of beam shots. But we appreciate all the photo's you provided. I still think I might get one because of the low price ;)
