Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

Hmmmm……… seems I missed that one. :person_facepalming:
KB, you have 36 of them. :open_mouth:
Could I please borrow that Yellow Sharpie, if the time ever comes to take notes that is? :wink:

Is it just the photographer in me or shouldn’t Kawi have much better lighting than that? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey man that’s my 3300k-3500k?
LED lighting in my kitchen, I’m trying to get with the program here, don’t the colors just POP! :person_facepalming: :+1:

Lithium Ion battery discussion should certainly continue but we’ve spun out long enough for this thread haven’t we?
It would probably help more people if it were moved over to a thread dedicate to the topic like the Lithium-ion battery safety 101 thread.

I totally agree…. we have surely spun out enough. :+1:

Only reason I wrote what I did above was because one contestant suggested the debate take place here in this thread.

Personally, I just wish for the discussion to continue. And as far as I am concerned also, a dedicated thread would be the way to go to actually get to the real truth of the matter. :slight_smile:

That's great results! I further updated my black L6 mod to an SMO and a P2 1C, and now getting 6,700 @start, 6,250 @30 secs, and 149 kcd taken at 5m. I measured 11.45A tail (Clamp meter).

I knew I couldn't match your results because I think you did some machining for the MCPCB and could use 18 AWG wires, I think I recall. I'm still using a SinkPAD MCPCB.

Still, with Narsil ramping, TA's triple w/SIR800DP, and 62 uA parasitic drain, it's a nice setup. The SMO & P2 1C mod bumped it up by about 500 lumens, and from 132 to 149 kcd.

Couldn’t remember exactly what it did so I charged up the pair of Basen’s (4.21V) and ran it through the box… 20,700 on the meter for 7141.5 lumens (start). This is TK’s ramping firmware with an SIR800DP FET.

The cells were down to 3.85V when I pulled em to charge and it was still making 5745 lumens.

5745 out 3.85v what the , I been away for two long , what kinda light is this you speak of ?

Nice work Tom! I really want to experience an L6 with Narsil. Checked your PM inbox lately? :zipper_mouth_face:

It’s a modified Convoy L6, using a Zener modded FET driver.

Not working for the other versions apparently - Silver N2 3A :frowning:

I’ve bitten the bullet finally and ordered an L6. So I need some batteries. The BG Keeppower ones mentioned for the L6 aren’t shown in stock; will these fit?

Failing that is there anything else suitable from the same seller?

You’re all right kirman, no harm no foul. :wink: Sometimes someone will come into the forum, perhaps with certain insider knowledge, perhaps not, and start pushing that information with zero background, which is misleading. It always pays to establish credibility first so people know or have a better idea if credibility is there. No matter to me, I’ve built far too many lights to be swayed by a newcomer with abrupt information. :D[/quote

Thanks DB Custom, I appreciate it . :slight_smile:

Thanks J-Dub74 :beer:

I’m fairly new here and I’ve found this forum to be second to none. I learn something new everyday, it’s always fun and just about everyone on here is decent and willing to help out.

Got an L6 last night! Can’t wait to try it out!

Anyone able to offer me advice on the above? Or anything else - the seller’s just gone on holiday, so it won’t link the full range he has but there seemed to be a few Basen’s etc.

My Keepower measure 67.65mm Max Pulse: 30amp Max Constant 20amp.

Pretty much any 26650 that doesn’t have “fire” in the name will work fine with the L6. I like the LK’s personally, hard to beat the bang for the buck. I do also have some keep powers though and they work fine as well. Since the L6 is regulated it doesn’t really matter which cell you use, the output will be the same. At least until the batteries get low.

Basens work perfect with the L6 .

Cool, thanks. I remember seeing something about size issues (70mm max?) so I wanted to check first.
