Repackaged: Eagle Eye X6 host kit w/BLF box $15.99.

The tiny switch in the EE X6 had me step back and settle for only one of these in my collection.
It may even get gifted as it is not anything that wow’s me or the missus.
True budget light and BLF branded for the GB… okay, that’s worth something, but as a $15.50 host? Nah!

I would be wiling to bet that many people are still going to jump on this host. They are just not available but from only two vendors. After many seeing what Dale and company keeps accomplishing with X6 many are going to want a host just to modify the hell out of and play with.

Funny how at the beginning of the GB many were screaming host, host, host and willing to spend the $15 on it. :) I am betting that many of them, and even more that purchased complete X6-SE's are going to buy them.

What he says…

Neal has confirmed that this host kit comes with the AR lens….nice!

Im looking into haveing some copper heatsinks made for this host around 5-50 if anyone is enterested once done ?

+1

I would be interested in a few. Price would be determining factor in quantity. Keep us posted.

OH HELLS YEAH!

Host kit…and some of those triple or quad DTP boards…booyah!

Very very very nice and sub $20…I see many a special build with these in the near future…heck just the basics will make it one heck of a good daily driver!

and to the guy making the custom heatsinks…I’m in for at least 1, maybe 2!

Great news!! It would be nice to have the BLF logo in the host as well…

I’ve been waiting so long for my X6 that I’m no longer interested in the finished light, so when it arrives I’ll use it as a host instead. :~

That totally makes the deal for me! Thanks Krono and Neal for this addition! I ordered one ($14.49 with BLF coupon)

Hey! no silicon switch cap??? Now I have to use up one of my 50 spare ones ;-)

Seems like you would have a lot of interest in a copper or even AL heat sink

What about the screws and tapped holes, included?

OK ..Now i want a 18350 version of it ...and a triple nichia .

i could may be do a run of each ? copper and aluminum, If im doing triples or quad builds i like copper better

I confirmed that host DOES come with tapped holes and screws. :slight_smile:

thx krono.

While it’s not in the other pictures or the component list, the final picture shows a switch boot. Can you confirm that a switch boot is included? Thanks for posting this kronological!

I’m quite sure that it is…look at the pics on BG’s website, shows it in back of tailcap.

Ok, I got the host kit in and I am VERY unhappy. This is how it was packaged:

Everything tossed loose in a bag, the whole thing was rattling inside the package wen I picked it up from the postman. Just watch the reflector directly in contact with the clip and you know what I mean :Angry:

This was the content of the package. NO LENS IS INCLUDED AT ALL!!! And note just one little screw, why would that be?

Ah, one screw is because there's just one screwhole (???????????) And look at that reflector! The X6 has one of the best reflectors I have ever seen, unless of course if it is scratched like this :Angry:

Banggood, I know that this was not an expensive host, but you ruined it before shipping: get your packaging sorted!!!!!

Soooo, now on to getting the replacement done, contact BG, get them to understand my problem, try again, and again, reject their proposed solution because it is way insufficient, etc., etc., etc., :Tired:
