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
I like the idea of more batteries, but not the length. I would like to see the tin can concept with 4 x 18650 like the M6, a large heatsink and a target of 8000 lumens.
I personally wouldn’t be too interested in a fatter-head L6, or a 3-cell L6. There’s several larger-head lights already on the market, and I kinda think the current L6 host is about perfect, really well balanced and a great size for a car/nightstand/front door light. In fact mine lives by the front door. And several (many?) of us have already made some of the mods y’all are suggesting too — mine’s an XHP70.2 with a 3-channel TA driver with a version of NarsilM I customized for better turn-on control (tail switch power comes on in high unless you’re holding the side switch - then it comes on in moonlight). Zener mod for 2x26650 power. Its a great light, and if Convoy offered that for those who don’t want to build it themselves, you should all jump on it. Or just buy an L6 and build it yourself.
