You have it right, if I remember I’ll take a tail cap current reading tonight.
Same here, although “only” 2 weeks and not THAT long ago… 
It’s bloody awesome! That detailed enough for you? 
To be honest, I haven’t received any 14500 batteries yet, but the bigger brother is fantastic, and I have no doubts about the little one being just as good. I hope the batteries I’ve ordered is good enough though, the X6 is pulling 5 amps…
Maybe I was lucky, but mine are pristine and look gorgeous. Love the lighted tail cap and the interface. Amazing flashlights for the money imho.
Anybody interested in my BLF X6 SS? Serial number 341. a little too heavy for me so I am posting it for sale here. Comes with everything and was only turned on once.
You can pay me via Paypal via family / Square Cash (Square cash is better). PM me if interested.
DNA. Video evidence. Nice.
They told me they couldn’t ship until I closed the claim due to a “system limitation”.
I said no.
Now they say they are out of stock but will ship soon and ask me to close my claim after getting a tracking number.
I just said no.
They sent me another defective A6 tube, the wrong batteries (button top Samsung instead of flat) and a poorly packed second BLF set with cosmetic box damage. I have responded on their system and have no response yet.
Not sure why I should start trusting Banggood now.
Indeed!!

When they say they will refund or resend it seems OK. Just make screenshot. You got to give them some space.
Disagree. I always give sellers the benefit of the doubt, but once you open a Paypal dispute never close it until the dispute is totally resolved. Paypal themselves say this.
Well you could be right, but my only experience with a Paypal claim (I now n=1) they (Paypal)let me hanging with no way to do what they wanted, I would have lost it and when gearbest (not a vendor I have the highest trust in) agreed on my terms but asked me to close the claim first I gladly did, Paypals methode would have made me lose it and gearbest came through.
The problem with the X5/X6 set is that refund is not making anything right, we want the set, thus people with damaged parts want a new part, no refund can help there.
EDIT and in this case, BG asked to close the refund once they gave the tracking number, a fair resolution I think.
What date did you order those? What date did they ship?
Trying to figure out if they solved a warehouse problem and if so as as of what date.
I dunno. I’m uncomfortable closing the claim till I have a non defective tailcap in hand.
I’m just going to take a guess… approximately 3.76V at 0.50mA. Based on your estimated voltage so far and the voltage-to-mA curve I measured months ago.
Scrumpypaul,
No one has done a review of the aluminum set. Feature by feature, they are basically the same as the SS/Cu set. The only differences are:
- AL set can physically lock out the flashlight by twisting the tailcap.
- AL set is lighter in weight.
- There was some discussion as to which set sheds heat better: The AL set because the anodized finish radiates heat better or the SS/Cu set because of greater mass/heat conductivity to hand.
- One of the sets differed in the type of reflector being screwed in (I can’t remember which one).
- Complaints on QC of smooth reflectors seemed to be more prevalent in the SS/Cu versions (but that may simply be because the the AL versions came out later and people tend not to post issues that have already been discussed).
- The stock SS/Cu sets might be slighter brighter than the AL sets because of better electrical conductivity of the barrel (based on one user report).
- Generally speaking, the hard anodized finish of the AL set is in more pristine condition than the occasionally machine marred/scratched/dented SS/CU sets.
So, keeping in mind these small differences, you can find all that you need to about the AL set by looking at a review of the SS/CU set: A first look at the BLF/Kronos Limited Edition X6/X5 SS & Cu Boxd Set
Just bought 2 sets, looking forward to them!
Two questions though: Can someone confirm both lights have low voltage protection? The Bistro code seems to support it, just wanted to make sure.
Question two: is the X5 able to run on a AA as well? Or is the voltage provided simply too low? Will get an 14500 anyway, but just curiosity
+1,000,000,000 
Yes, Both have LVP.
No, the X5 doesnt run on AA

Ordered Jan 20, shipped Jan 30th.
Regarding LVP, I thought there was some discussion before about this. I believe the discussion concluded that the LVP would not stop the vampire draw from the UI and lit tail light, so an unprotected battery could (theoretically) be completely drained if the user left the flashlight unused for a long period of time.
Someone, please correct me if my recollection is incorrect.
You are correct.
The tail light can drain the cell far enough to damage it. It can go down to at least 2.2V or 2.3V, possibly farther, and cell damage starts around 2.5V-ish.
Are any copper ones still available?
