That would be the best of all solutions, stunning and practical.
You guys are going to have make it happen.
The only thing that would make that better is if the head was made to fit the 32mm triples without a spacer.
^ +1…
Will there be a spacer for the SS X6 to take a 32mm triple?
After looking at the photo in the first post closer, it is obviously Photoshoped. They still look good though.
ToyKeeper:Well, if we can work out the details, there’s still a chance of making the heat sink section out of copper on the stainless steel version. This way you’d get good thermal properties in addition to the nearly-indestructible steel body.
I can’t promise anything, but doing it that way would be pretty cool. Some lights already do this, like the Sinner Ti XC; can you imagine what it would be like to have this on the X6?

Copper finned section on SS is the plan
Stainless and copper? Wow!!! If that could happen with Wight’s driver with your firm ware TK, that could be the best light of 2016!! Might be tough to pull off though. The possibility is making my head swim. Each group buy just keeps getting better and better. With cooperative manufacturers, the future is very bright indeed. My hat is off to all the people involved in the latest group buys, where we have input in the design since Krono’s first Eagle Eye X6-SE GB. One last thought though, these new style group buys are product projects which are going to take time to get to the finish line. They are NOT the old style group buys where you buy a preexisting light for cheap. These new style group buys are going to take time, if you want a light that is right. You can’t rush perfection. Cheers to the BLF teams who make this happen, and cheers to the manufacturers who work with us, and cheers to all the buyers whose money spins the gears!!!
mizjif:I would LOVE a Cu version in 18650 size one day :heart_eyes:
So would I. Is there any chance this could happen?
Perhaps…on v3…perhaps :bigsmile:
Maybe towards the end of this project, the XP-L Hi’s will be more readily available. Just saying
XP-L HI?
I’m sure that Olight has a Large order in, so Cree will just have to Make More… For US!
I hope…

Copperhead: chuckhov:I’m not buying into the SS/CU set specifically because of the Stainless Steel X6.
I’d prefer that option too. The thermal properties of SS scare me a little.

This is the kind of option I’m hoping for too, if it works well to radiate the heat? Not exactly keen on a SS light running at such high A, I’ll probably be likely to burn up the LED…
The copper version is so awesome.
I’m wishing that the copper leftover (if any!) will be sold as host only.
compression:Do you think the 14500 lights will also function in lesser capacity with AA?
Nope, we don’t have any suitable boost drivers. However, you could get or make a boost driver and swap it out.
With an AA battery, the light won’t even turn on. That’s not enough voltage to power up the driver, much less the LED.
With a 14500 cell, it should be able to pump out as much light as the cell can handle. I’m not sure how much this will be, but I’d guess about 1000 lumens with a decent cell.
Thanks. I just picked up some Windyfire 14500s and am anxious to put them to work. 1000 lumens from a light that size is obscene.
Just curious about AA more than anything.
BLF ROCKS!
May increase list?
I want number 111

I’m in for a SS/Cu NW set. This is great! Thanks for making this happen. 8)

Good Day Krono,
Do NOT do that, or I will be even more broke (if that is even possible).
Seriously though, that will be AWESOME.
Thank you Very Much,
George
Financially insolvent thanks to Krono & his team.

Seriously? That's because of the better heat dissipating properties of copper vs stainless steel, right?
I am in for the stainless steel & copper set. If you're taking emitter preferences, mine are:
- neutral white in the 5000K temp range
- XP-L high intensity emitter
That copper 14500 would do well paired up with my floody SC52w as a secondary EDC.
ooh ooh ooh!
I just saw pics of an X6v2 SS with Cu. Absolutely *** gorgeous!!
I just can't upload anything right now - dunno why. Have to wait for the others to become available after work but when you guys see them the SS/Cu list is going to go crazy!
Bugs, that’s CRUEL!
Of course, I already know what it looks like as I’ve had 5 lights custom made with that combination. (Well, Ti not SS on 2 as well as 1 in SS and 2 other variations, but you know…)
In in for Copper NW
Dale - That is not half as bad as me having to clean all of the slobber of my desk after I saw the pics
This two-tone X6v2 can easily double as a shelf queen or "a beat 'em up everyday" EDC. Polish it up and it is a shelf queen again!
Ti is nice..no question..but Ti also lacks that pretty hue from the nickel that stainless has.
This is GB is truly is going to be what the definition of epic is:
- Wight's driver - proven and zener moddable
- TK's UI - proven
- X6v2 in stainless with copper (never a SS X6 before)
- Proportionately downsized X6 known as K6 for 14500
- K6 inn 100% copper (only available on a few custom lights FOR MORE THAN COST OF SS/Cu set)
- 18350 battery tube (after this GB) **should fit all X6's
- 18650 extensions for 2x and 3x 18650 (for the crazy people that like MTG2's and XHP's :) :) ) ** should fit all X6's
