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 isnāt 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 $10 cheaper and throws little further (has more lux).
Nice beamshots :+1:
Best to show it:
It was very unstable, itās much improved now.
now it can stand firmly. :+1:
Button must be recessed quite a lot more to cut to this extent.
Yeah, but i cut away the thingy inside the switch boot, you know, that cylindrical piece of rubber that pushes on the switch.
I used a ā1288ā size Omten in stead of the tall stock forward clicky.
It fits well actually.
Which is why I would like to see this with stainless steel front bezel.
Build quality. I own both. S70s came with a donut hole in the center of the beam.
OP whatās the 360+ flashlight you were comparing it to?
Should of done some beam shot comparison with it
I donāt detect a doughnut hole at any distance from a wall or outdoors, and the build quality on mine is excellent.
I donāt have a s70s I have a s70 though I only see the donut hole on a wall within 3-4 meters after that all is well. My only reason for preferring the l6 over a s70 is the turbo step down. The l6 doesnāt step down. On my job when I use a light sometimes I have to lay it down and go in front of the beam to work. When the turbo steps down after 3 mins itās aggravating get back up from under a trailer or something to bump it back up. I guess I could switch the drivers. But the l6 wins in my book only because of that. I still use my s70 and would like to swap the cool led for a warm one eventually. The original s70 didnāt have a warm led.
Iām a adult most people buying a 50$ plus flashlight is a adult. I get the turbo step downs but Iāll step it down when I need to. I either swap drivers in lights if it canāt be disabled or wonāt 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 Iād 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. Sācuse me.
Who would be using such a light at that distance?.
I wouldnāt 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. Iād have thought a person would be using a strong spreader. Not thrower.
You going in front of beam. I think youād 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.
methinkās. Itāll be my next lamp hey.
If I didnāt live in Aust, Iād 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 havenāt 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 etcā¦
Finding neighbors dogs and cats. My neighbors try using cell phone flashlights to find their pets lol.
Lets see some pictures of the doughnut hole.
For those looking to get a lens cap. These OpTech lens caps work great. This is the āMiniā size.
