It tail stands horribly…
Mine fell over and i dented the bezel and chipped the lens.
So i cut off the bits on the tail cap, it’s much better now, but i had to recess the switch of course.
For the rest, still loving mine. 
Such a big head heavy light should not tail stand, they drop easy and hard
How does it compare to a L6? the beam shape?
I do not own an L6.
I’m unable to compare the two.
For me it tail-stands fairly well. Much better than I expected it to. It is heavy on the head though, so I do agree that tail-standing isn’t something that it really excels at.
Haha well I thougt all Blf members had a L6
What did you cut off? I thought that tail cap is tail stand able?
L6 blows it away by comparison
In what way?
The S70S is $10 cheaper and throws little further (has more lux).
Nice beamshots :+1:
Best to show it:
It was very unstable, it’s much improved now.
now it can stand firmly. :+1:
Button must be recessed quite a lot more to cut to this extent.
Yeah, but i cut away the thingy inside the switch boot, you know, that cylindrical piece of rubber that pushes on the switch.
I used a ‘1288’ size Omten in stead of the tall stock forward clicky.
It fits well actually.
Which is why I would like to see this with stainless steel front bezel.
Build quality. I own both. S70s came with a donut hole in the center of the beam.
OP what’s the 360+ flashlight you were comparing it to?
Should of done some beam shot comparison with it
I don’t detect a doughnut hole at any distance from a wall or outdoors, and the build quality on mine is excellent.
I don’t have a s70s I have a s70 though I only see the donut hole on a wall within 3-4 meters after that all is well. My only reason for preferring the l6 over a s70 is the turbo step down. The l6 doesn’t step down. On my job when I use a light sometimes I have to lay it down and go in front of the beam to work. When the turbo steps down after 3 mins it’s aggravating get back up from under a trailer or something to bump it back up. I guess I could switch the drivers. But the l6 wins in my book only because of that. I still use my s70 and would like to swap the cool led for a warm one eventually. The original s70 didn’t have a warm led.
I’m a adult most people buying a 50$ plus flashlight is a adult. I get the turbo step downs but I’ll step it down when I need to. I either swap drivers in lights if it can’t be disabled or won’t purchase a light with a step down. I would like to see more manufscters go to a 10-15 minute turbo step down. When I turn a light on turbo obviously I need the light if I wanted a step down I’d use high mode. When you need turbo you need it. At least I do
I think there were quite a few improvements from the S70 to the S70S
Is the beam tighter on the S70s? is it longer trowing?
