Anyone have both? (U2 3C & T6 4C) Wondering if there is a difference in output / amp draw and would like to hear some feedback between the two tints in this light from someone who has both.
I’ve read where the LED type was changed during production to a newer version causing less than anticipated current & output, was that the case for all 3 LED versions?
Does the older T6 version have higher amp draw than newer the U2? I know usually T6 is dimmer than U2 but is it true in this light?
Or if the difference in output is negligible is this 4C so much better a tint that it’s worth the slight loss of output?
I tried going through a lot of the 4700 posts here but found no feedback on 4C vs 3C in this light. Also can’t find any reviews yet on the any of the BLF version X6.
I going to buy this light from Banggood and I’m on the fence between the T6 4C or U2 3C and hoping to hear some feedback to help me decide. I have other 3C lights that I love the tint much better than any CW, but I currently have no 4C lights.
I don’t know if this will help, but I have the CW and the WW, but no NW. The WW is at least as bright as the CW, maybe a little brighter, with a beautiful warm tint. I highly recommend it.
It's yellow like an Incan for sure. I have other WW's, the BLF SE is the warmest 4C i've seen. A pleasant departure from Cool whites and Neutrals for sure.
I think it does pull more current because of the vf of the older emitters. I agree with Streamer, it is warm like an incan, a very bright one. It is yellow warm though, if that makes sense, not orange super warm. It is really a great tint, with better outdoor color rendition than the CW, and it looks awesome in the rain too, as B42 said above.
I must say, I was a little hesitant when I ordered this light. I have the WW one. I have been hunting over the last 2 weeks since I got it, and I find it always in my pocket. It’s light, small size, fits great in the hand, and easily lights up everything at 250 yards. I’d take this over a c8 any day of the week. The WW is an awesome tint too. Grass is green at night, deer blood is red, colors are what they should be. Nothing is bleached or greyed out like when using a CW. I could do without the moonlight mode but oh well…I may swap the driver out for a two mode high-low.
Don’t know how stale this thread is getting now, it must be a mammoth to try and read with well over 4000 posts. But I can highly recommend de-doming the CW X6.
If anyone is interested in the results, or modded X6’s in general, please have a look here and contribute. Thanks
Excellent! Let us know how you like them, and how you feel they compare. I keep wondering whether I should get a NW as well, but money is tight, and I am saving for another group buy.
I am starting to realize how much i dislike the AR coatings blue greenish cast i get on my 3C, do anyone know where i can buy a good quality lens in the right size without AR?
I spent a lot of screen time on here deciding to get these, going through many of the various threads and posts.
I’ll post back here after I receive and test them, hopefully that wont be too long a wait as I used the $1.99 Priority Direct Mail shipping option (10-15 days) as opposed to the Free Air Parcel Register (7-20 days) Hope I did the right thing, I figured there’s no way I’d see it in 7 days with the free shipping anyway.
I’ve also signed on for 2 other upcoming BLF SE lights, the Eagle Eye BLF A6 in NW, and the LuckySun BLF D80, also in NW.
I don’t have any BLF SE lights in my collection and made no flashlight purchases last year, so I’m starting out the year in BLF style with several BLF SE lights. I’m also plunging into the world of custom building/modding this year as well. We’ll see how that goes “Jumping into the xxxFire” so to speak!
I noticed yesterday the CW version has been removed from the options (it was there on Monday) I also confirmed via PM with Banggood they now only have the 4C and 3C in stock.
There has been speculation that this model may become a production light, however the CW was not listed as back-order nor is there any restocking date.
As someone reported in an earlier post, you can still get the CW (as well as the WW & NW) at Tmart. Tmart BLF X6 Flashlights leading one to believe they are going to be a production light, however there has been some question as to whether they are genuine or if the internals are idenical to the Bangood version. Group Buy：$23.99 of BLF Special Edition X6 We shall see when BLF Tmart X6 buyers provide us the feedback.
I think you are going to be very happy with them. They are much higher quality than most other budget lights, and are a really great deal. Honestly, they make a lot of other lights feel really cheap and insubstantial.
Pure and simple !!! Recieved the Eagle Eye X6 U2-1A, not the BLF 4C as ordered. Plain white box, and no SKU or any lable. Light exibits flashing modes as normal for EE X6. Has the Eagle Eye logo and name on flashlight, and not BLF. Wrong light………period………
Turned out so so. Do like the light and not sorry to have the EE version. After the 30% off it was a couple dollars less than the best price I can find.
Turned out to be $15.50 and it’s easier than sending it back. Willing to bet tmart still made money at this price.
Still awaiting the BLF X6 from banggood. Hope they don’t make same mistake. I think they are shipped from the manufacturer. Will my BLF X6 come directly from Eagle Eye and turn out to be EE X6? Here’s to hoping not.
That changes everything, that means tmart didn’t have any x6-se’s at all.
EDIT
Now i see it, you wrote it in the subject line
Am i the only one who almost never read the “subject” on a persons post in side a thread, it feels like it is something like 95% just the repeated first line of the post so my mind just filters out that extra noise.
Yeah, because this is news in the whole EE X6-SE GB story
Thanks for taking the chance & reporting about it, now we know that if not anyone else come forward & report differently, that tmark in this case is scammers.
