The whistle of F6S works all the time. It is much better than F6. Did you try it?
All the time I mean F6.
As I mentioned below, I bought 2 of them for a gift, but given the quality they did not reach their purpose. Now I do not need them either.
The problem is only in the whistle…
Can someone confirm F6S is better than F6? Can post some pictures for side by side comparison? Thanks.
Pictures won’t show if anything is better, just if they are different. You won’t know the S model is better until you blow on it.
Yes, i wish to see the difference that result in improvement on f6s.
Needs to be lighter. It is ridiculously heavy for its size.
( yes, I know it is brass- but feels like lead)
Brass is heavy, unless they use aluminum, else it won’t be light.
I recently received both the F6 and F6S. Do you still want comparison pictures?
Id like to see them side by side if you don’t mind
In these pictures, the older, and now obsolete, F6 will be on the left. The new F6s will be on the right.
The new light is a bit longer in the whistle area. The old one required high velocity to make sound. The new one requires less velocity and is a bit easier to get sound from.
You can see that the new one has a black centering ring.
The different batteries.
Here you can see the new one has a slightly bent charging circuit board. The micro usb plug can still fit, but it’s a bit harder to line it up.
The new one also had a little deformation on the thread above the usb cutout. This added extra resistance turning it on and off. I took a knife and straightened that section of thread. It was an easy fix.
Charging circuits.
Drivers. (This last picture might be flipped, as I see the dates look backwards)
Functionally they are the same. Same brightness in all 3 levels. The new one had a slightly darker blue reflection on the anti-reflection coated lens.
Thanks wasn’t expecting that much detail
