Modded Eagle Eye X6 Shootout!

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

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.

Actually Scott, shining the two of em (CUTE-3 and Angie) from about 24’ in the house the Angie has about a 2’ smaller hot spot. The Angie covers an 8’ wall at 24’ while the CUTE-3 has an overlap of a foot or more on floor and ceiling at the same distance.

I used the copper heat sink from the triple plus 4.3mm 6.4mm more copper for the Angie. Lot of copper under those 4 emitters! Feels nice and solid in the hand too. It’s enough my favorite that I added 4 Trits to it and it’s in my pocket. :wink:

wasn’t there a triple XP-L that makes 4000 lumens?
where does that fit in the awesomeness range?
:bigsmile:

I think someone put blinders on it and took it to the moon. :stuck_out_tongue:

Same lens as 5 when I sent it out, but the most potent one I’ve built to date for reason’s unknown to me. There seems to be some variance in the XP-L’s being shipped and you got the hottest one’s I’ve seen so far.

I am confused :~ siata94 talks about the triple you sent him, but you say it is the same lens as 5, that has a quad?

So how hot do they run?

I meant 4, sorry. It’s the CUTE-3 10754 intended for the Intematix emitter.

HOT! A 30 second step down is almost too long.

Ok, that makes sense :slight_smile: could it be that siata94 is triple with V6 XP-L’s?

That would explain the variance of the different XP-L you are talking about, because the difference between your #4 at 3771 lumens and if i add 7% i get 4034 lumens and that would match an higher flux bin.
