I agree UGH! :person_facepalming:
I liked the looks of the 1st gen better, I think that smooth SS bezel with the knurling below is the main reason I liked it so much.
Iāve been in contact with them was trying to get a hold of a 1st gen x7 for a host, he did mention this, and it was suppose to be out back in September, thought it would look like the old one but with usb charging added.
Kind of a bummer. Now if they would put XHP50 inside theyād have something. :smiling_imp:
If anyone has an old one (1st gen) they want to sell please PM me.
I am in the same boat, I have a triple spacer for the X7 but never got an X7 to use it in.
I could also sell the triple spacer if someone wanted it.
It can fit X6 with small OD sanding, and with 95% probability it will be able to fit X7R.
That is good to hear, I already have 4 triple x6ās so no need for more of those lol.
Hopefully it will fit the X7R as well, I want to use a boost driver with it and the 26650 will work better.
I like my X6R and my X7ās not sure I am a fan of the new X7R. Looking forward to the first review.
Iām somewhat interested in this X7Rā¦ but am a bit worried about the UIā¦
If i understand correctly, you have to use two long press to shut off the light???
Where did you hear this?
From BG X7R product page:
Reading this again it is unclear whether a long press will ācloseā the light or enter moon modeā¦
Now iām guessing that a long press from off goes to moon, and a long press from on always shuts off the light?
This looks right.
From off, a single click turns it on as well as cycles through the 3 modes, low, med and high. Dbl click for turbo. Then a long press from off goes to moonlight.
Iāve seen other lights that you could only access moon from off.
and on my CW and NW versions, from Moonlight, you canāt access any other levels except to long press and turn the light off
This UI seems a tad odd, but itās not the only one i guess. Iāll probably give it a tryā¦
Iām thinking this light could be given away to ānon flashlights addictedā persons, considering the 26650 capacity and the onboard usb charging. Somehow the X2R big brother.
Yes to all points. I might get one for āhouseā use and get rid of the old maglights.
I canāt seem to find Eagle Eye site anymore on Aliexpress. The Actual site seems āemptyā?
I just wanted to check how much they sell it on their siteā¦
Iāve seen this happen with them before ā¦ a few times actually, but they always came back. From what I can tell he does this when heās away.
The ācontact nowā link still works you could message him and ask, heās been pretty good at communication, usually replies within a couple of days.
They havenāt came back from Chinese New Year yet. Some stores will remove items when the business is closed, and some stores will just change the price of everything to $9,999.
Wow, I just reread this thread and itās mostly about the X7. There are no reviews of the X7R. Did everyone forget about this light?
I havenāt heard anything about the X9 either.
I asked some time ago about the X7R, he has no plans on selling it on Aliexpress.
I believe iāve seen a BG code/coupon for the X7R not long ago - it may be the reason i checked this thread actuallyā¦ but canāt find it again. :person_facepalming:
Edit: i just checked a review and discovered the beam is quite āthrowyā with a very bright hotspotā¦ Not what i had in mind for a light to gift away. And the 3sec long press to access moon from off or to shut down from on seems too long to me. Mode memory is also a bad point. I should have checked earlier before getting excited with this 26650/usb light.
It takes 3 seconds to turn it off or just to get out of moon mode?
