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?
DIPSTIX I just got mine today and I have the same exact problem. I ordered 2 by mistake and both have the same exact donut hole. Is there any kind of fix or am I screwed? I have no idea what causes these donut holes
Mikadoo.
As he said. Donut discernable at 3 to 4 mtrs. S’cuse me.
Who would be using such a light at that distance?.
I wouldn’t be worrying myself about it too much in my mind.
Those screen shots show a real nice Strong, broad throwing beam.
A torch for under veh, work. I’d have thought a person would be using a strong spreader. Not thrower.
You going in front of beam. I think you’d be working , just a little. In your own light.
Surely a headlight would be better. with other one for moving around.
Just thinking.
That S70s is more than any I have at present. (SkyRay King XM-L2 x 9. 4 x 18650 Can. With a XM-L Headlamp for close work.
methink’s. It’ll be my next lamp hey.
If I didn’t live in Aust, I’d by one from you. But mail would be more than lamp itself. Bummer.
Macka I just got this light this morning. I do not drive so I did not buy it for under vehicle work. I haven’t had a chance to shine it around at night. From what I could see in the hot spot, the hole was only getting bigger and bigger. I am no expert at all when it comes to flashlights. I always ask someone for help via email or private message.
I have one for sale if you know anyone that would like one.
I use these bigger lights for out in the woods hiking and spotting. Animals like deer, raccoon etc…
Finding neighbors dogs and cats. My neighbors try using cell phone flashlights to find their pets lol.
