Rear clickie is a reverse clickie. GITD rear rubber cover. 3 levels, low, medium and high. When the light is shut off for more than 50 seconds the light always turns on medium. Does not memorize last setting when shut off. Levels are medium, low then high. Just half press to get to the other levels. Very easy to press to change the levels.

_______________________________________


In the lux readings and beam shots I choose the Xeno E06 V5 2xAA XP-G R5 vs the Klarus ST20 2AA XP-G R5 because both are 2AA lights and both have OP reflectors.

I used my Meterman LM631 and took the lux readings within a minute of starting the lights. I used Energizer Rechargeable 2500mAH Nimh Batteries fully charged in both lights.


Xeno E06 V5 2xAA XP-G R5, Low- 100 lux @ 1 meter

Xeno E06 V5 2xAA XP-G R5, Medium - 1050 lux @ 1 meter

Xeno E06 V5 2xAA XP-G R5, High - 3580 lux @ 1 meter


Klarus ST20 2AA XP-G R5, High - 2150 lux @ 1 meter

I have always been wanting the Xeno E06 V5 when I first saw it. I'm glad Tactical HID is the first to carry this model.

Xeno IMO makes some good quality lights.

Excellent machining. Has square threads. Threads are smooth and the double o-rings cames lubed.

The Type III Hard Anodize is excellent. Color matches between body parts and no flaws.

The module comes out very easy and comes apart very easy, good for you modders out there.

The beam tint is white. The beam very smooth.

The 2 lanyards are a nice touch. I like the longer lanyard.

An extra rear switch is included.

There is a warranty card printed on the Instructions. Xeno calls it a Qualification Card. It has a stamp from the QC Inspector. Warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase.

Anti-roll knurling on the head and also a rubber ant-roll device near the end of the battery tube, It has a flat spot but the light does not need to put in the flat spot due to the anti-roll knurling on the head.

The only con I could find is I wish the Xeno E06 V5 would memorize it's last setting when shut off.

Erns, great review as usual, very informative and consistent with past ones.

One question (request), will we ever get to see your flashlight collection :D?
