New Thorfire S70S vs Convoy L6 discussion

Awesome work!! thanks.

we talking 70 deg Celsius here right ?

Nice work, thanks!

Both lights are very good for me.

Yes
50Ā°C is about the max for metal to be held, maybe 55Ā°C for those used to heat or ā€œtoughā€ hands, 70Ā°C feels burning hot and might cause burns on skin

One thing you didnā€™t mention, but is important, is how the lights operate.

The old S70 used to function just like the L6, which is on and off from the tail switch and the side switch changed modes.

The new S70s no longer turns on with the tail switch. Itā€™s more of a lockout now. You turn it on as well as change modes with the side switch.

So for people who are on the fence about which to get, keep that in mind. The L6 has the forward clicky and you can blink it, tactical style. The S70s canā€™t, but you CAN hold it more comfortably in the middle of the light with one hand and turn it on and off.

So the new user interface has its proā€™s and cons.

Oh yeah, the S70s is currently on sale for about $40. :wink:

Or $27.95 for new AE customers making their first purchase using the AE app :wink:

Thatā€™s too good of a deal to turn down, although Iā€™m only seeing $2 off, not $13 off like youā€™re getting.

Currently S70 is on a win side: great price, better finnish, better oxidation and it has a carrying strap: something crusial for a light that big
Plus, a spare glass ( other spares too) and a illuminated button, also crusial for a side button based light

The one thing that Thorfire should improove is their customer support- simply there is none.

SImon on the other hand is quite helpful.

The clear L6 looks awful, but thats a matter of personal taste

Tint options, Convoy is awesome in that department :+1:

Agree, for new app users 50% of a Convoy L6 this is could be a hard situation for Simon.
But he has loyal fans and gives great support so I am sure he worries little to none :slight_smile:

how do you get it for $28

From what I understand you have to be a new AE member making a first purchase using the AE app.

IDK, been using the app for too long of a time
probably, make AE account -> install app -> login app -> add S70S from this store in cat -> check coupons or when you tap ā€œbuy nowā€ check if price is reduced.

Real good price on the s70s. But with the tint options, spare driver I ordered and the nice matte anodizing the L6 is still the best choice for me.

Thats the last think L2/L6 should be proud of
After a month in your hands it wont be that lovely, and it will fell of the edges, speaking of personal exp ofcā€¦ but yes, at first it looks great

Since i orders hosts alot there was a time last year ( a month or 2) the oxidation was better and a bit different, i dunno why Simon didnt continue using it, my personal C8s and L2 are with that kind and they hold

Iā€™m a new customer but couldnā€™t get the price below $40.50, which isnā€™t worth it at this point as I already have an L6 and MT03

Are you using the app?

sure am! the only discount I see is a $2 one.

Well deals and discounts canā€™t be expected to run endless :wink:
Seems you missed out this time but surely new lights will come up :slight_smile:

LOL, thatā€™s fine by me, I just thought Iā€™m a moron and wasnā€™t doing something right.
To be honest, the last thing in the world I need is another flashlight, but for some strange reason, I canā€™t stop myself from buying them when itā€™s a bargain! lol
