KronoReview: Eagle Eye X6R

I’m not sure but I hope they continue to produce this light as it’s one of my favs

Ordered one a week or so ago in the Ali store. Also happened in the past that the store was empty, so try to check in a week or so, it’s such a fine and cheap light it must live on.

Probably just in between production runs.

I'm planning on doing a X6R triple with the copper heat sink I got from nitro. I as well love this light, recommended it. I'm so-so confident in the built-in charging circuit though from others reported problems, but if it fails, it's pretty isolated from the driver, so not a big loss.

I’m making a triple 219C with a twist with my X6R

They are on holiday from 22 Jan - 20 Feb. There will be no shipment during this period. Probably that was why most vendors temporary halt their sales for Eagle Eye.

Just popped up at Fasttech

it's one-mode though and not using XP-L HI. Otherwise, I'd be all friggin' over it!

Thanks everyone, yeah they’ll be back, just got nervous because I gifted my X6R before I got one for myself!

Joe, I’d say the 1 mode spec is a typo - (the norm for fasttech) Also the X6R never came with XPL-HI

I don’t remember seeing any X6R with an XP-L HI.

I didn’t notice the modes though. I think it might be a typo, as it also says the max output is 350ma.

edit: I guess I just sound like a mockingbird…

Highly interested in seeing that, please post about it when you do!

I don't think FT wants to sell these - 1 mode and 350 lumens max. We will never see GearBest under spec a flashlight .

There back on aliexpress

Damn, Banggood need to offer this light again : (

You can buy it from AliExpress :

I just don’t need another XM-L2 light. A newer emitter would revive this light easily.

XM-L2 may seem “old news” but it’s still the best performing emitter in its class, unless you want an HI for throw or the smaller XP-G3.

XP-G3 sounds best! :slight_smile:

Well if you want less lumens… :wink:
