KronoReview: Eagle Eye X6R

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
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

238

Dang, you got the latest stuff on there as well. Boy, your TripleStack started a trend. I gotta add support for them in Narsil.

239

I just got these boards in. Looks like R3 is the 4.7, and R4 and R5 for the FET, so think we got everything covered.

I'd like to triplestack, triple-led an X6R, just dunno when i can get to it all.

PD - have you done anything yet with this driver?

240

I have one in hand, and it looks really good. I just got my X6R and heatsink delivered, just waiting for emitters, optic, and mcpcb to get here before I start work

241

Ohh, cool! I got a triple MCPCB and optic, but not sure what LED's to use... Think'n XPL HI's or V6 3D's.

242

I’m going to dedome some V5 3A’s

243

PD, Did you order the one that you linked above from FastTech? the ’single mode 350 lm” model?

I’ve got a friend looking for a light with built in charging, and this is high on the list.
