I did look for about 2 minutes and found that one:

http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/318973967-LED-Tactical-Flashlight-wholesalers.html

Looks pretty similar to the light in that link on the first page.
Although its just as expensive as the one arcmania sold.

Great Job, detective IMSabbel:
One of the pictures shows an image lower left corner, it looks like one of the image that he used in X6 thread.

Wow, right now I am thinking of sending a thank you note to McGizmo, Data, Milky, Tranquility Base, Photonfanatic, Mac, Peter, Henry, everyone at Surefire and many other custom modders and builders for their WORK and HONESTY....

Oh, perhaps I just did. Thank you all!!

Yes, see link below, the Weiken LED technology Inc. got to be the original Mfg.
It's most likely he OEMed the two models & renamed them X6 & X6 canon respectively.
The X6 fooled a bunch of people but the X6 Cannon was not successful, perhaps, things already stated smelling fishy?


Compare the image on the Wkled site:

He didn't even take his own photo, just cropped the OEM mfg. photo instead.

OMFG

LiteFlux... I thought people knew this...

Well, yeah, that was pretty obvious from the start. I thought you had some new information.

First time I saw it I thought, "weird, a re-engineered, rebranded Liteflux, wonder why it costs so much". Then of course the masses stated how it was a limited run and super special etc...

It was definitely an improved model. Just not limited nor worth double a Liteflux price.

That is what I like to see in a situation like this...some positiveness. I always give a person the benefit of the doubt. As I type I am waiting for a PM from MJ to see if he will make me one with a high cri led.

I will continue to support him unless it is disclosed that he had sex with the Taiwanese contractor.

Seriously though this is a sad day on CPF!

Dad0f6,

They are sold out everywhere, but I can sell you my sample, Pre-Pay for $888, that's a lucky number!
Hurry, the price will go up soon & I can not guarantee future availability, as it's a limited run!

I'll guarantee you Christmas delivery, but I can't promise which christmas
Once you send PP, please do not attempt to contact me, as I am an extremely busy person

So Glenn7 stated at the end of THIS thread that the X6 was indeed a custom light designed by MJ, not a host. For some reason, I feel the need for him (Glenn7) to chime in here. He was VERY involved in that sale thread, much more than MJ himself......I would like for him to verify where he was getting his information from.

Over the years, this kind of thing has happened to a number of respected builders.

Ya, history certainly does repeat itself. I don't know his lights very well but I didn't have a very good feeling about the x6 and anything after that.

Seriously, many thanks to DM51, Greta, and all the folks that nip these kinds of things in the bud!!!

From the sound of that thread, Glenn was just repeating what he was told by Mike. I would have done the same had I been in contact with a member that I trusted like I trusted MJ. I don't think there is anything there, but Glenn can of course speak for himself. I know my dealings with him would not point to the slightlest inkling of impropriety.

Glenn could have been played, especially if he had good responses from Arc over the years, these sort of things do happen when a distributor of a product caught his supplier red handed in selling the same raw materials to a competitor for less:green:
