Modded Eagle Eye X6 Shootout!

Is it just me or the image #6 and #7 is the same?

They are the same.

Sorry about that, fixed image 7 with the proper image. I was tired and easily confused. That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it! :stuck_out_tongue:

When I laid out the lights and numbered them with a piece of tape so I could keep it all straight I did so based on what I thought they put out. A couple of these are new builds, so I missed the order of power. In presenting them here, I wanted to go up in lumens so I flipped the order on a couple. Messed up on that last one, really was tired and getting lost in it all! It turns into quite a chore doing 8 lights and writing it up! lol

Then I went back and took pics of each ones reflector/optic so it’d be easy to visualize what the differences were and relate that to the output. Had to then upload and add those. You’d think that with 90 lights I’d be getting good at this by now! The memory issue really is that bad, I can forget in less time than I can memorize and I lose track of what I was doing. Sucks getting old and being flashaholically challenged. :bigsmile:

A tip for those on a computer… I like to click each image and open them in new windows then move between em and see the differences. This lets the full detail of what is different come “shining” through. :wink: These are sized at 1600x1200.

Don't worry, we forgive you. :)

...

Once.

...

Just once. :evil:

Great achievement Dale. Very nice job.

Regards

Great lights. Thanks for the beamshots!

These are amazing Dale…thanks for sharing your results!

Nice comparisons between too much light and too much light :bigsmile:

Is that a 621 optic in #5 Don’t think there is a 507 quad
All very nice but the BTU shocker is just plain RYdiculous

Great job Dale!
Your flashlights are like a John Force Top Fuel funny car.
Just WOW

I take that as high praise, as these lights put that John Force smile on your face. :bigsmile:

The new quad optic is a Ledil C12285-S in 34mm spot.

all those x6’s are really something else. u hold the record for brightest x6’s thats for sure. that x6 with the custom tube and xhp70 is incredible. nice looking beam also. great job there!
and that shocker needs a name, it really do deserve one haha. man , it musta been reflex or something, cus when i got to that beam shot, i squinted my eyes like it was real life. hahah

thanks for the time you took to show us these great pictures and of your masterpieces!

So it’s shorter than cute-3/4 but taller than gt4?

You are right Scott, thanks for noticing that, i was curious if it was the same hight as the cute-4.
The C12285_ANGIE-S is 10,67 mm + 1,45mm & the cute-4 ss is 15mm + 1,5mm.

As far as i can see the GT4 is shorter than the C12285_ANGIE-S

Another thing i noticed in the data sheet is the C12285_ANGIE-S
support a lot of different led’s

LED Viewing Angle Beam efficiency cd/lm
Z5 sim: 10 Spot sim: 92 % sim: 19.000 -
LUXEON H50-2 sim: 16 Spot sim: 93 % sim: 8.000 -
Oslon SSL 150 10 deg Spot 94 % 17.000 -
XP-E 11 deg Spot 91 % 14.700 -
Oslon SSL 80 12 deg Spot 93 % 11.000 -
Oslon Square EC 14 deg Spot 94 % 8.300 -
XP-G 15 deg Spot 93 % 8.020 -
LUXEON T 15 deg Spot 93 % 7.600 -
LUXEON TX 15 deg Spot 92 % 8.100 -

So it is not 11 degrees on a xp-g emitter but 15 degrees, so i guess even a little more from the bigger xp-l led.

I like that each TIR is clear of the other, with the CUTE-4 they’re merged. I like that too, and might try it for a similar but different build. :wink:

This Angie is 10.7mm tall, pretty much between the GT4 and CUTE-4, with individual TIR diameters about double that of a Carclo quad that is also shorter.

Could you measure how deep & wide the opening for the led’s are in the angie?
On the cute-4 they are rather shallow, so i am a bit worried that the XP-L’s with domes still on will destructively dedome themselves.

The CUTE-4 opening for the led’s are ~5,05mm wide & ~2,70mm deep.

Interesting that the Angie TIR’s don’t merge, i hadn’t noticed that.

A crazy idea, do you think 4 XHP50 with one of these quad optics & a 2xbattery mod, would have a higher output than your XHP70 with the 2xbattery & Minnie M reflector.

They should be good for about 2000 lumens each
at least x 4…….could get pretty bright :smiley:

Could burn your hand in like 5 seconds too….

I’m amazed at how hot just 1 XHP50 gets on 4amps

LOL :smiley: yeah, but thats what the different levels & the switch are there for :wink:

And at 4A it is upwards about 2700-3000 lumens so………that would be pretty bright x4……… :wink:

The one I had at 4 amps was in a p60 (admittedly, not the best thermal transfer) Solarforce host, and it unsoldered an emitter wire from the Noctigon in about 7 seconds.

Even in a bigger host (F13 head with DST battery tube) the head is too hot to touch after about 30 seconds. I had it running for a little over a minute without problems, but then when I turned it off and laid it down on the floor it actually melted some of our cheap carpet.

edit: By no means should that stop anyone else from trying an XHP50 quad in an X6, but I won’t be doing it

At just 9 mm the GT3/4 is simply too short to focus well and is small dome only without mods. The Angie beam looks slightly broader than cute-3 so I wonder how the Angie would compare to a cute-4. That extra 4+ mm is a nice space saver.
