KronoReview: Eagle Eye X6R

Hi,

I have scanned through another thread ( Code now public! BLF A6 FET+7135 Light. Short 18350 tubes and Unanodized Lights Available ) and was wondering if kronological (excellent review, BTW), bugsy36 , ToyKeeper and others could help to clarify a few things.

I cannot find a website for Eagle Eye - are they a Banggood private label that modifies products by Manker?

I am looking for a USB rechargeable flashlight for my Mum that costs around £20 GBP including a battery, and this is my line of thinking:

- 1 x 10180:

- DQG Hobi with microUSB adapter: too fiddly

  • CooYoo Quantum SS / Stainless Steel: actually seems to be a little cheaper through EverBuying than GearBest, even when the Group Buy promo code is taken into account (although I notice that both sites, and DealsMachine, are operated by HICHINA ZHICHENG TECHNOLOGY LTD.)
    The Quantum would be the cheapest option. However, from time-to-time, she might require a brighter output than this can provide.

- 3 x 18650:

  • Jin Heng JKK18 and JKK35: too dear

- 1 x 18650:

- Fenix CL25R lantern: too dear

- Nitecore HC90 headlamp: too dear

- Fenix UC30 and above: too dear

- Nitecore MH10 and above: too dear

  • Eagle Eye X6R (bare unit, with a Sanyo / Panasonic NCR18650GA 3.6V 3500mAh bought separately): I have found the -£4.56 GBP code elsewhere, and when this is included the X6R seems to offer slightly better value than the Manker Rambler, which itself seems better value than the XTAR RC1 Darkwalker.

Thanks,

Nick
