Anyone have any review on the trustfire X8 XML-T6 :



Dunno will get true 1000lumen and probably 40,000lux similar to Eagetac m3c4 -xml...
Worry me: The built quality & the advertised figures..So far no youtube review I can find on this except the SST90 Trustfire X6

My latest Collections:



1) Trustfire X8 XML-T6 bin- Rated 1000 Lumen. Actual Tested & reviewed here.. http://budgetlightforum.com/node/2373 21,600 lux & 1350lumen@4M..so high
2) Spoilt Aurora Q5 bin - Good thrower but narrow beam (~ 200lumen)
3) Lumintop TD15 - R5 bin - Rated 420Lumen - Great overall & much better than Aurora for sure
4) Fenix P3D Q5 bin - My very first...~ 180lumen
5) Romisen RC C3 - Got in Shenzhen and later found out Dealxtreme selling cheaper than Shenzhen..althouth I nego kaw-kaw sigh. - lumen ~ 100

BTW, just a friendly reminder although I saw lotsa trading happening to this discussion thread.

No advert allowed here hor..There is a trading zone for this purposes

NVM, just a reminder only..Me also not a mod at this hobby section..haha..Anyway due to lack of real interest in this thread....temp..me also closing one eye liao haha. & so far no report on advert here.

Haha bcos of GPS, I met lotsa Outdoors kakis and during few of the GPS gathering years ago, I got poisoned and been collecting flashlights thereafter..but not to the extreme-lah

Boyz, after getting the Trustfire X8...really din expect it to be so high quality & so bright..In future, probably getting a much powerfull SST90 bin ..2000 lumen here I come liao

Pure white. whiter than Lumintop TD15 and suprisingly can throw abit further than TD15. and overall much brighter than Lumitop TD15 by 1.75X based on my rough estimation ..

I din buy from Dealextreme but from Shenzhenwhoseller..cheaper there but basic unit without charger & batteries Only ~US$37 nia but after adding the battery & postage...price almost similar to Dealxtreme liao..I pay via paypal which is tagged to my CC

If you google, yes you can find those 18650 NiMh battery although rare compare to LiIon. But those NiMh battery only 1.2V only wor compare to 3.6V on 18650..It will not be bright enough for current bright flashy

Wah tempting to go too...Jusco EQuine Park? But only free after 10:30pm on Friday nite

I have tried TK35 but only for a while. Too bad I hv not compare it side by side with my trustfire X8.

From the unfair comparison, TK35 is not really a thrower but it's flood. but the colour is more to orange green rather than pure white.
Trustfire have a small super bright mid-focus and bright spill and therefore, throw very far.

You can find the review between TK35 & trustfire X8 here...from what I see, TK35 having an edge.

Honestly for AUD120, there are many kights that are brighter than 200Lumen. Go for those wth CREE R5 (>300lumen)or XML-T6 - (>700lumen)

I bought ultrafire years ago..It din last long & not water-proof. Lucky dealxtreme provide warranty claim otherwise total lost liao haha

You can get it in LYN street mart, lelong & even Mudah..the same person haha..operating inside Subang square

Added on August 6, 2011, 6:57 amLong time ago & I can't remembered liao. warranty claimed & replaced wth aurora..also forgotten what model dy but using Cree Q5 bin. C8 = XML-T6? If yes good buy but the only worry bcos of the quality.. looks good but do check whether water-proof or not and battery can really support the led..

Yeah same body as C8..That's the replacement for spoilt ultrafire years ago. ..I think I topped up xtra US$10-US$15 to get a better than ultrafire light.. It's a thrower wth narrow beam ..well can throw very far but bcos it's too focus, it can't even beat Fenix P3D interm of flood. & thus not bright enuf for close area. Actualy not really spoil but the glass broke and later i fopund that it was not water proof too..damn..Trustfire is super duper tough & heavy light...yes it's water-proof for sure haha...Got it for ~ US$59 inc of 2 rechargeable Li-ion trustfire 18500 batteries...Super duper bright for sure and lumen reviewed and confirmed >1000 lumen ...Almost similar to Trustfir X6 wth SST90 bin check here:



If C8 having R5, should be similar to my lumintop TD15 R5. not bad actually bcos R5 can throw abit further compare wth XML-T6 but still not as bright as Trustfire X8..BTW, that lumintop more expensive than Trustfire X8!...On your C8, check the o-ring covering the glass The aurora that I hv do not have any o-ring near the glass area and thus, Not water-proof!

My EDCs. Xeno E03 just arrived Today together wth 4 rechargeable Trustfire Li-ion 3.7V batteries (Intend to sell 1 pair of it - excess dy)

Well, the LD01 running on rechargeable 3.7V can max >220Lumen super bright & much brighter than Fenix P3D QR5 bin that i sold.
and this latest Xeno E03 wth XML-T6 bin rated max 430 lumen i.e higher than my Lumintop TD15 and running only wth 1 14500 (AA) li-ion battery There are lotsa review tested this exceeding 500 lumen Well, after comparing wth Lumintop, Lumintop is very focus wth large spill but this E03 more flooding light. Ceiling bounce, Xeno win but on throw, Lumitop still better.




Abit of this Xeno E03

Buy direct lor

Bumping this dying thread. It's been more than a year I did not visit this thread..so quiet.. Seems like this hobby not so active. Well, I almost semi retire since my last purchased of Trustfire X8, Xeno E03, Lumintop TD15, and Fenix LD01.. ALmost complete from big gun to tiny keychain mosnter LD01

Only recently just to kill boredom and I found the technology of LED taking another leap. Previously one of the brightest LED in 2010-2011 - Trustfire X8 at 1000lumen.. already bypassed wth so many LEDs that can shined even brighter...now >8000lumen

The one I'm eyeeing for is the Trustfire TR-J18 - 8000lumen but looking at the size of my current X8...Instead of looking for that giant size, probably smaller but capable of shining >2000 lumen such as skyray king or even Nitecore Tiny Monster

Damn...just as about to retire and now the technology going further

The cheap RM10 pasar malam police flashlite will not shine as bright of less than 10-20 lumen. They are using those cap ayam LED emitter of 1w to 3w and you really need to compare wth expensive lights using CREE emitters.. If I tell you even my 1000lumen Trustfire X8 shine brighter than my car headlamp you tak-kan percaya Well it's true.. Even my Tiny Fenix LD01 on Li-Ion battery can shined >100lumen output - 10X more than those pasar malam flashlite

Uhh The Brightside forum? Dead also Unless candlepower or budgetlight? Anyway.. Eyeing on the 2650 Fenix TK75 too the brightest currently by them.. but not cheap..Well much more reliable & better build quality than those Chinamade cheap Trustfire or ultrafire for sure.. but less juice

LD01 if using normal AAA -1.5V can only shined max 70+ lumen but once you change to Li-Ion battery wth 3.7V can go higher than 140lumen Doubed the performance of AAA. However very hot after a while and battery will drained off faster than AAA...Nice keychain EDC. I always used it in Pasar Malam and shiok comparing wth those Police Pasar malam RM10 flashlite.. The seller..sure at my tiny light overperforming some of their even bigger Police
