Poor comparison . . .hit them at the same time to see the delta . . .I have both and that is how you would compare them . . .duh . . . .
Would you be able to tell me what type of battery this takes? I know the HL-5X takes 18650s, but what would the 6X take?
I have the hl5x ive had it a few years its a great light its getting a new paint job today and hopefully i can find the hl6x in town today
FYI, the HL 6 doesn't have the X name on it. With Streamlight, the X usually means its a dual (or more) fuel.
The HL 5X has the X because it can take the rechargeable AND the CR 123a. The HL 6 only takes the rechargeables. They might release an X version of the 6 in the future.
Thanks for the comparison. Do these lights really not step-down in the highest mode? All flashlights I own usually step-down in like a minute or less.
