Thanks for the review.

I might have missed it, but do you know if it steps down in Turbo? Is it basically the X6-SE driver? Would be nice if Turbo didn’t step down as it’s only 2.8amps.

I will test it, but I don’t think it will step down. That was only on the X6-SE…but I will confirm and get back to you.

There is NO turbo step-down.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this.

Thanks for the great review. I noticed this on BG and was wondering about it.
A few dumb questions I’m sure: (I have no experience with charging lights and haven’t really researched any with USB port)

Is the charging cord micro USB, the same as used for charging an android phone / tablet?

What kind of charger did you use to recharge in 2.5 - 3 hrs.? Wall charger? 1A or 2A? Or plugged into a PC USB port?

They provide perfectly spaced modes in THIS light. ;( * cry *

Yes…exactly the same.

It was a 1 amp wall charger.

Thanks, great then it should charge with a car lighter plug adapter too.

I may have missed this in the review or somewhere in the thread, how is the output of this compared to a BLF SE X6?

When I hold a BLF SE X6 it seems my thumb is resting right where that side switch is located on the X6R.

A group buy would be good if it pulls more amps than the BLF Edition X6.
Have you compared them side by side to see which is brighter?
No turbo timer is awesome.

[jhalb]

Its too bad they did away with the deep cut cooling fins.
That was my favorite feature.

A group buy would be good

I received my one today and I am more than happy with it.
From what I can see it is powered by 8x7135 chips to give 2.8a. Start stacking people

Nice pics there CV…glad you are happy with it.

I just use my iphone6 for photos

[WhitedragonBC]

After disassembling it, how waterproof do you think the USB connector and side switch are?

[Caleb-v]

the usb plug is a serious plug i think that would be good.
the switch seems good also but i can’t say for sure. i must say overall build quality is second to none.

[Caleb-v]

on another note i compared it next to a blf x6 and it is brighter and pulls 500ma more

Thank you. That’s the answer I’ve been waiting for.

Also:
Your x6R is from Banggood?
Is your x6R the 1A or 3C?
What tint # is the BLF x6 that you compared it to?
Is that BLF x6 stock or modded in any way?

Many thanks for the review Krono.
Does anyone know if there is any coupon code available?

I am holding off for the Groupbuy Luckysun D80. But if this new X6R was around the same price, I would have to take both!
If you could PM me that would be fantastic.

I will ask Neal for a smokin’ deal/coupon code for the X6R.

Great review, Krono! Fantastic that it uses 7135 chips. Do you think there is enough room in the pill to stack at least one extra layer of chips onto it?
