BLF Kronos X6/X5 GB - Group Buy now closed.

My lights were stuck there from 1/30/2016 - 2/3/2016. I didn’t receive any notification until 2/4 and then it was delivered. Its the Blackhole of the USPS. Prepare to wait a few days. Have patience.

To the GB powers that be: I’ve bought lights in the EE X6 group buy, the A6, and now the Kronos set. It occurs to me, there has been a lot of complaining as well as a lot of love, but I think it’s fair to say each GB has been increasingly successful. The goals have been better reached, and the greatness of each light has escalated as well. At least it seems that way to me. So, I again say thanks, and hope everyone involved is proud, and encouraged. Things are skyrocketing, don’t you think?

I think the lighted tailcap adds a lot to these lights in terms of the ‘excitement factor.’ I was considering them without it, sure, really nice, but not as nice. Great innovation!

Yep, things are definitely getting better with each group buy. I absolutely love these new light cannons. Cheers :beer:

Just had a interesting idea on the quad…

X5 Ti w/Cu pill :Sp

AW man that’s sick as well as a huge hole in my pocket

One of mine is staying in configuration mode. Trying to get it back to factory default. Let it blink 8 times and cut off during the shutter. Turn back on and it’s still in configuration mode. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for the video Dale, helps a lot.

How long are you waiting after cutting it off during the shutter? It takes a couple of seconds for that switch-off to register, and some of the lights seems to be longer than others.

At least 4 or 5 seconds, as much as several minutes, have tried it 6 or 8 times.

Go back and Turn off mode memory.
It is coming back onto the last mode used, config.

From the factory it was in configuration mode. After letting it sit for about 20 minutes, it’s now has 3 modes, low, med, high. Tried the 16 half clicks to enter configuration mode, nothing happens, just goes through the 3 levels and never goes into config mode.

0805 is the correct size to use. I used a 10K 0603 because I happened to have a bunch of spare. The smaller one fits fine. I think with the 10K, it's still a little too bright.

southland - I'm not sure how that can happen, being stuck in config mode. Maybe TK can chime in.

Funny you say this as I was wanting to suggest the same thing.

It would probably cost as much as the set by itself, but, I would pay…

muggle mode

zoom zoom has one that is stuck in muggle mode, and I have 1 that is stuck too.

I received my third and last ss/cu set yesterday and also an AL set. Ss/cu set is immaculate. Same for the AL set.

I just gotta say after handling these for a couple days now I'm more and more impressed with the quality and craftsmanship in these lights. It's obvious that a great amount of knowledge, thought and refinement went into these lights.

Everyone involved did a great job on these and I hope it continues.

The only thing that needs improvement are the clips. I would have preferred the ss x6 to just be clipless only because of the weight and the AL x6 clip to be much larger like sized for a 1 3/4 in belt and of deep carry design. And of course fix the bend issue oF the X5 design.

The clips should be a super easy fix for manker and I hope they eventually offer some better ones.

BTW my favorite is the AL X5.

Or III…

My aluminum set should be in this afternoon, woot!

I’m looking forward to being able to carry the X5 around, I don’t want to ding up my nice copper X5 too much, I’ll probably use it around the house.

Said a guy on the Budget Light Forum, haha.

I think it’s crazy that you guys managed to pull this together for the price we paid, I was about ready to scratch build a 14500 copper light out of plumbing parts. Then again, nice hard ano aluminum is pretty sweet too, and for what, 23 bucks a light or so? AWESOME. And not so heavy…

Tks tom and emarkd, right now I’m so busy though I dont have time to do mods, the immediate “solution” was sticking it upside-down in a toilet paper roll as a holder…she doesn’t like that either, but for now when I ask her would she rather see the light, its staying :wink:
