Digilight Review

I ordered the 1000XC and the T6. I received my order last night.

I'll talk about the 1000XC first. For $17.95, it's not a bad deal. But it is no Surefire. Not even close. I'd take a Surefire G2 over the 1000XC any day. The 1000XC produces light similar to a 4D-cell Maglite. It is bright, but the beam quality is poor. The 1000XC is solidly built like a Maglite too. Overall, I kinda think of it as a shrunken down 4D-cell Maglite. The 1000XC has no lockout, which is a minus in my book. The included holster is serviceable, but not easy to draw from.

Not sure how the 1000XC compares to the Cyclops, but if you're interested in a cheap light, the Cyclops is cheaper.

On to the T6. The T6 is a wonderful light. Very much a Surefire clone. Solid construction. The beam quality is just as beautiful as a that of a Surefire. The lense assembly looks almost identical to a Surefire P60 lense assembly(60 lumens). The brightness is very similar to a Surefire P60 lense, with the T6's lense somewhat brighter in the middle(rated 70 lumens).

There is still some question in my mind as to how "Shock-Isolated" the lamp assembly is. It is mounted on a spring and there is an O-ring protecting it on the front side... however Surefire adds an additional spongy-type ring on the front side of their weapon lights. I also kinda wish it had a lockout feature.

The "Waterproof Spare Battery Case" is a thing of beauty. Very nice item.

Overall I think the T6 a great light and is a great deal for a weaponlight, but I haven't taken it out to the range yet, so time will tell how it holds up.

Good report.

What if any were the shipping charges on your order?

Nice. For those looking for a flashlight, I have found this site to be very helpful. Does anyone else know of any others?
