Convoy L2...Guess who's back???

LOL Yeah, it looks like Iā€™m his rep at the moment. The time difference and language barrier both slow progress down a bit but I love BLF and have a lot of respect for the quality products he makes. Once I realized that Simon is Convoy I just wouldnā€™t leave him alone. :bigsmile: The result of me hounding him so much is I finally seem to have his ear and Iā€™ve made it clear how much BLF respects him and wants more of his products. From what Iā€™ve seen itā€™s not just about sales for him. Heā€™s a flashlight geek just like us. Itā€™s not like he forgot about us but he too has a personal life and has had some things to deal with in the last year that doesnā€™t allow him time to post here or advance the Convoy product line as much as he would like too. He had to put family first which I absolutely respect. The fact that he slowed Convoy down to take care of his daughter is just one more reason to support him. It says a lot about his core values and as we see in his products, he doesnā€™t cut corners. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m doing this. BLF is a great group of people that step up to help each other. Often for no reason other than to show respect for the community and appreciation for those who have helped along the way. The Old Lumens situation that evolved into the DB Custom situation is a perfect example. That whole thing made me so happy to be a part even if a small one. I canā€™t mod lights (yet) and I donā€™t have a store but I sure can talk! Too much sometimes. Iā€™m afraid keeping things short and to the point is NOT my strong point in case you havenā€™t noticed. :smiley: Simon says (love saying that) things are looking up and next year should bring more exciting new products.

That is good news!

Letā€™s see, which do I do first, MT-G2 or XHP70? :smiley:

I hope the L2 has a larger and deeper reflector!

I want the Convoy L2.2 to dwarf the Jax X6 Hunter.

+1 and please tell him so. This merits respect.

I hope it has a OP reflector option for those of us that want to use a XHP50 or XHP70.

Or he can ship the host Banggood style. By the time the light arrives at your door, it will have a ghetto OP finish on the reflector. :smiley:

Hope heā€™ll have it as a hostā€¦

Is Simon going to give us a XP-L HI option?

Thanks for your efforts!

He said to me that (atleast) the first batch has a smooth reflector.
(Exact words where ā€œjust normal version for xml2 this batchā€)
Iā€™ll ask if he will sell it as a host.

I had a Convoy L2 back previously and if there is one thing I really hope Simon has changed it is the size of the driver cavity and I hope he has allowed for a 32mm MCPCB! They were a massive let down on the last light and just made it difficult to work with.

Nice. This light was only available for a short while after I started this "hobby" and for a while it was the one to get.

I got a MTG2 just waiting for a L2 as soon as Simon releases it.

As for the XHP70, Kai Domain has answered our prayers. Iā€™m waiting on Kai Domain to get back with me with the price of this flashlight in a host form. Chuck the extension in to your parts bin and assemble this bad boy with the XHP70 with the tint of your choice and zener modded fet driver. When KD gets back with me, theyā€™ll tell me what size the driver is. If itā€™s 26mm, RMM has got us covered.

He replied with:ā€œwill sell hostā€.
So it will eventually be available as a host.

Great news, thanksā€¦ This may just become a winner! Lets hope for the best :slight_smile:

I donā€™t have practical experience with the L2, but if I look at the size of the reflector one should hit 250kcd. Iā€™m excited! Iā€™ve been looking for for a bigger brother (26650) version of the Convoy C8. Iā€™ve eventually settled on the Yezl Y3, which has the advantage of the side switch, but, I think the L2 might be a clean, good replacement for the Y3. I believe it will be more expensive though, but, the quality should also be better. Iā€™m all for qualityā€¦

This thing is comparable in weight and size to the Jax X6 hunter.

Thats a really nice looking light! Is there a review somewhere of this light?
I hope they sell it as a host with a decent price so I can mod it myself with a XHP-70.

Looks like that light has a good quality, unfortunately way too expensive for a hostā€¦

This thread is going OT, as nice as that other light may beā€¦

Anyone know how long it will be before the 2nd coming of the L2?

Thanks,

It took a month setup time for the Blue S2+

ā€œt took a month setup time for the Blue S2+ā€

Yeah, and thatā€™s just changing the Ano.

A total resurrection from the dead will take longerā€¦

Any changes that will be made will make it even longer yetā€¦

I just wasnā€™t into budget lights itā€™s first incarnation, so it wasnā€™t on my radar.

Looks to be a really nice light, but I do hope that it has some kind of upscale driver, not something like the S2+ has.

Thanks,
-Chuck
