KronoReview: Eagle Eye X6R

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
218

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

220

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

222

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

223

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

224

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

225

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…

226

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

227

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

228

There back on aliexpress

229

Damn, Banggood need to offer this light again : (

230

You can buy it from AliExpress :

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

232

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.

233

XP-G3 sounds best! :slight_smile:

234

Well if you want less lumens… :wink:

235

I changed one to a XP-L HI gave it a real nice beam profile. I don’t have it any more though, I lend it to my father and never got it back.
I have been trying for a long time to give him a flashlight but he always returned them. On this he likes the beam profile, tint, dual switches and build in charger.The charger works very good but I put in a protected NCR18650B just to be safe.

236

Dont have an account there, i dont want to open to much accounts for such websites.

237

I’ve got another one of these lights on order, so I figured I should update my X6R-specific driver to latest and greatest.

I present the TripleStack X6R
