MX25L3Cvn KIT AKA The 6X - Best of 2014

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

Got my flashlight (XPG2 PDTc version with extra thermal pad cooling) the day before christmas and have tested it for a few days now so here are my comments.
It definitely packs a very powerful punch for it size, clearly the best I know of!!
I would say it has a perfekt mix of throw and flod for midrange to long use (size and focus of the beam makes it less useful
on closer range, but again thats not what its made for ;-)).
Easily 400m useful range (maybe 500 too) in real life testing sofar and that with a big useful spot, very impressive indeed!!
Build quality (both from Eagtac and mods by Vin) is superb, so you get what your paying for.

My one small complaint is about tint that I have to say feels quite to very green on the 2 lowest settings, however it feels very nice at the 2 highest settings in real use. Worth noting is that we have snow right now so green is easily spotted when everythings white and it believe it would be less of a problem without snow.

In Sweden flashlights are actually called "ficklampa" (meaning pocketlight) and this one does fit in my winterjacket pocket, maybe the most powerful "pocketlight" out there?
I would say size is ok to carry in a big pocket but the weight is definitely a bit on the heavy side for a pocket though (100grams less or more would be great).


Vin, no dubble tailcaps or bezels in my box either unfortunately.
 
Glad to see you back! I missed seeing your posts around here. :) Hope things improved since then!
 
I never get tired of playing with it... I think it out throws my truck hi beams!
 
For those of you who have experience with this light and have the thermal pad cooling I have a question for you. I have the Nichia stock version of this light and was thinking of getting the thermal pads for additional heat-sinking. If any of you had to guess, how long could I have the light on for in turbo mode before needing to turn down the output? Again this is without a current boost, just with additional thermal pad cooling.

Thanks

Found u on blade forum yesterday ☺
Lol you'll find me on blade forums a lot!

Ive become fascinated with balisongs. I have a few flipping videos on YouTube

Still love me some photons though!!!

This light in particular is bringing back the bug.
 
Re: The Biggest Release of 2014! Yes it's an absolute must have! ;-)

How many lumen is the lowest level on this?
 
Anyone have any guesses or estimates of lumens with the XP-L? It seems like it must be in the 5,000 range compared to the 3,500 XP-G.

Vinh, is it possible to get a quick size comparison photo of this and a TN36 when they arrive?
