Wondering why 3 cells? Would make it quite long and difficult to deal with, especially in a car scenario. No need for 3 cells for a 6V set-up and 3 cells won’t quite do it for a 12V set-up, so it seems odd to me why you’d ask for that particular arrangement.
Yes, easy enough to add a single extension tube to the 2-cell original tube, or use a single tube like on the L2 and add 2 more cells. Lot of ways to go about it, just not sure why.
And L7 Scott? Really? Wouldn’t it be an L6+ or something since it’s still the L6 head just a longer running configuration (assuming a buck driver)
Ah, but, before y’all go and get all excited about your dreamed up visions becoming reality please remember that Convoy is a small company with limited resources for developing driver technology. What may seem simple to us, with DEL and MEM and TK on our side, is simply not feasible to Simon. We can dream up all kinds of possibilities, that doesn’t mean he’ll be able to implement any of them. Convoy makes great lights, Simon is a perfectionist and a flashlight enthusiast himself, if he can he will, but don’t expect him to be able to work miracles as he simply doesn’t have the manpower to pull off what some of the large companies have been doing lately.
I’m sure he’s already working on what he can do, there’s a new C8+ just announced for example.
It’s so easy for someone to announce “new edition type L6” but it has no merit.
Hm weird i dont get it, if there is help in getting good drivers in a flashlight from experts in here why not use it? i understand u cant compared them to the larger companies but i dont think anyone in here does that. I agree that i would be interesting to know if something brighter then l6 will see the day of light someday? i dont know how much work had to be done to start the development of the l6 for example before it was posted here?
I would be interested in a maglite sized light (2 or 3 x 26650) with a ramping UI.I’m not too concerned with it being super bright but a long runtime would be good.
Please,don’t misunderstand me,the thread i’ve opened is just a “speaking out loud”, but was wondering if there were many more just like me, and i never said that Simon needs to be the one to improve the L6, but before upgrading a realatively medium head with more power,i would like a totally improved head ,bigger 50% maybe and tuned up with 3x26650 - maybe a poll wouldn’t be to bad
I like the physical size of the L6 just as it is. Maybe update to 70.2, SMO and higher amp driver?
Make the light turn on/off from side switch. This makes it easier to control.
Lighted side switch is also easy to do.
That raw finished L2 prototype is awesome. I’d like to see the L6 use that. I’d definitely buy that even if everything else inside was old. I would just mod it up. Lol
