Richard at mtnelectronics.com can probably fix you up with the 32mm Noctigon and the emitters already on it, he’ll also have the CUTE-3 optic from Ledil, I think. The spacer/heat sink will come from Nitro here on the forum.
The 32mm Noctigon will have to be sanded or filed down a little to fit in the pill of the X6, the center will need to be drilled out (the middle emitter thermal pad) for the wires to come through. That’s about it. Boom! ~3000 lumens. (give or take depending on some variables)
The X6 itself can be found at BangGood or directly through the manufacturer on AliExpress.
Total should be in the $50 range, with an FET+1 driver running the show. (Richard also has these or you can swap the driver from a BLF Special A6)
they came but not useable out of the bag you have to get rubber rings for it first this is kinda boring if you get half stuff how much rubber rings in bulk cost ?? ? charge more but supply a ready to sue product not make one go out and buy stupid rubber rings and waste time value for 1000 times worth the rings
Aren’t there just about always extra o-rings included with the light when you get it? I have bags and bags of o-rings and lanyards from X6’s that I’ve modified… aren’t you also taking off the stock tube and putting the shorty on? Remove the o-rings from the stock tube, put them on the shorty, bingo! Good to go…
I was just getting ready to ask if anybody had received theirs yet. I’m ignorant. Does one need an O-ring on each end of the tube? It won’t work without it? When one gets new light how many extra O-rings usually come with it,1? I do recall reading recently that these hosts are lacking them. Quite an over/undersight if u ask me, sup wit dat?
We’re talking tubes here, not hosts. So yeah, while it’s still an oversight it’s not a big deal since you’ll be replacing an existing tube that actually does have o-rings on it. They interchange in about 2 seconds.
Good deal Jack-bkk, we can all breathe easier now. Whew!
Received 3 BLF A6 short tubes 2 days ago. Quality looks great. Fits my A6s nicely. The only thing I haven’t done yet is pull out my 18350s and test to make sure they complete the circuit.
Just to confirm, there are no o-rings. I just slapped on extras that I have.
Also received my red and blue short tubes.
Thanks for putting this together. Great product, great price and great times.
Yes, a couple of days ago. Fit and color are fine and I’m running E-fest 18350’s at the moment. This makes the light more pocket friendly, especially when sitting. As mentioned, no O-rings (didn’t expect any) so I used extras that came with the A6.
I ordered one of each and they both work and are the correct length to contact the brass retaining rings without sticking out and showing a gap. They came last week.
go figure. How do some get theirs that much quicker than others? I ordered at first mention. I’m in the Golden State as well. Would have been nice to get em last week, or even this week. Rant over.
