Has anyone reviewed this 12 XML light?
I like the even distribution of leds, unlike the ultrafire here New King Kong Challenge UltraFire 12T6 13800-Lumen. Hope somebody tries it soon.
Would be interested to hear about this one too.
It looks much better than the other 12 led mutant, much nicer reflector. Only 7200 lumens that 600 per led, I thought that Chinese lights got about 1800 per. Maybe Chinese lumens and real lumen ratio getting closer. If it put out a real 4k it’ll be great.
Fasttech lists the tailcap current at 4.5A. With 12 LEDs your only getting 375ma per led.
I would say that your lucky if you get 2500 lumens.
Its likely wired 4p 3s or something like that
4.5 amps with 3 or 4 26650’s in series that’s a bit of wattage we can multiple that 0.375 amps by 3 or 4. Looking at about 56 to 75 watts at even 75% efficiency its 3.5 to 4.7 watts each.
Does this come in black, or dark gray like the TrustFire X6? I could have sworn i’v seen a torch that was almost identical with a slightly larger head with multiple LEDs.
Got one, It’s decent. bright as is, about 3300 lumens. Needs more bright. Seems like it can handle the heat too. Review inbound.
Seems to be wired 6S2P, but haven’t gone under the reflector yet.
I love my TrustFire J18. I want to know how the TrustFire AK90 compares with 5 extra LEDs.
I dont have that model, but I have a Trustfire 12x that they were calling AK48 on some sites (looks like the Ultrafire one pictured in the thread above in the link). Its considerably brighter than the J18, I love it for forest hikes at night. But, for flashlight hotrodders: its definitely under driven. However with 12 LEDs…so what really, it still produces a ton of light 
I’ve been using this light for a day or two now; what a beast. I thought the UF T90 SST90 light was big, but this one is bigger. The head, body and length (in 4x26650 mode) are all bigger. I question the usefulness of this light as it ships. It should be at least 6000 lm stock, otherwise the J18 is a better choice because of size. Even a modded J12 would give it a run.
Now, I never planned on getting this light to leave it stock. I want to get as close as I can to 3A/emitter. Might not run for very long, but it should be bright. J)
let us know when your able to do this cus i would def. be interested too.
i dont think theres a driver out for a 12x xml though right?
i have the older model ak47 with 9x xml modded by richie that does 6000 lumens heheh
My black AK90 just came in, and shes a beauty! And to answer my own question…
AK90 is much brighter! Slightly smaller and tighter hot spot. Spill is also slightly smaller than J18, but still brighter. One thing that I noticed immediately was the AK90 output had a much cooler light, where as the J18 was more warm/neutral.
I cant stand those odd colored torches. It it would have been nice if it came in the same dark gray as the X6… but the matte black is still beautiful.
