What do you think about this 6x xm-l flashlight?

Have you seen this flashlight before? I am a bit “loose” on multi led XML flashlights.

It seems that the dropin is “screw-in” type. It has 5 modes, and seems to be able to use 2 or 3 18650/26650

It says it has a 74mm bezel. But how hard is it really driven is always the question…

If it used 26650 batteries, I likely would have purchased it.

It says that it can use 2 or 3 18650 OR 26650. It includes adaptors for using 18650… No more info

Great, another light I’m going to drool over and not be able to get :frowning:

Ooh nice!! waiting for the other discount retailers to drop prices. If Aliexpress gets a batch… look out!! Looks brand new though, google searching only hit the DX site.

It does clearly show pics of 26650 sized body tube + cell adapters. I get a little nervous when lights start to pull more than 1.5C. I would be surprised if a light this size pulls more than 25-30W, the heatsink doesn’t look big enough to dissipate 6-XML at more than ~1.25-1.5A. 30W thats a lot of power from a boost converter and 2x18650. The DC board has to boost 7.2V up to ~19V, while sustaining wattage as the cells deplete. Assuming the LEDs are series wired, just like all the others in this category.

Looks like its constructed just like the Trustfires… with the LED array attached to one half of the chamber and the driver board mounted down below onto the lower half. I’m guessing theres a pair of wires delivering power and connecting the two halves, hidden from view. 6xLEDs in a bezel thats almost the same diamater as the TR-X100… should throw out a tighter beam than the TR-J12/18.

This seems to be the same light with different name at DD. Only $64.79 with coupon retailmenot10off.

Looks interesting, but I'm not sure about how well driven this is.

Edit: @kramer5150: Would you want to take one for the team? :)

I just might… but not from DX or DD, too much bad voodoo with those sellers. Waiting for retailers like aliexpress, Tmart or easylightbuy.

I take it nobody ever purchased one of these?

Definitely a 26650 light. That is one large torch! If it had only 3 or 4 emitters in that head it’d be a decent thrower. Lots of potential with a driver swap as I see it.

I have seen these advertised as 40 watts ? Are those Chinese watts ? ….

this light should be getting more hits…no ones interested??

Well there's a report on club DX forum where OP says he got 150 minutes of runtime off 3 * 26650 4000 mAh batteries so the drive current is pretty low it would seem.

150 mins is quite long a run time. My TF X100 averages just a wee bit 1 hour with 3 x Trustfire 26650s. :slight_smile:

It it drops to $50 shipped, you can consider modding it with 2 x DRY drivers. :slight_smile: That’s 5000 lumens OTF. But it’d be hard on the 26650s.
