Yes, Maxtoch’s are great. :+1:
I had a Sniper and really liked it. I sold it when the first Shooter 2X group buy came along. It has a dedomed XM-L2 U4 1A emitter, and puts out about 1500 lumens and 360k lux on maximum. It’s no longer available with this emitter.
The latest Shooter 2X uses an XHP70.2, so it’s brighter and floodier. It also supports 20700 as well as 18650 cells, and does 3800 lumens on maximum. I’m not sure what the lux readings are.
Here’s a link to Maxtoch’s AliExpress product page. Note that the ‘color’ options are different bundle options with charger, holster, and cells.
BLF user ‘robo819’ has specs and a nice video about the latest version here.
This thread has some beamshot comparisons of the two versions I mentioned.
