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

He replied with:“will sell host”.
So it will eventually be available as a host.

Great news, thanks… This may just become a winner! Lets hope for the best :slight_smile:

I don’t have practical experience with the L2, but if I look at the size of the reflector one should hit 250kcd. I’m excited! I’ve been looking for for a bigger brother (26650) version of the Convoy C8. I’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. I’m all for quality…

This thing is comparable in weight and size to the Jax X6 hunter.
Specification:
Product name: JAX X6 Hunter Flashlight Shell
Material: Aluminum Alloy
Color: black
Weight: 682G (without battery,LED and driver)
Size:240mm x 74mm x 35mm(length x head x tail diameter)

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 host…

This thread is going OT, as nice as that other light may be…

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+

“t took a month setup time for the Blue S2+”

Yeah, and that’s just changing the Ano.

A total resurrection from the dead will take longer…

Any changes that will be made will make it even longer yet…

I just wasn’t into budget lights it’s first incarnation, so it wasn’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,

Based on what Simon told me I’d guess about a month before we hear or see anything on the new L2 but I asked him if he can give us an update. Any updated info I receive will be posted here. Based on what he said it is a new design so while I’m sure it will be similar to the old L2 this is a new design.

Whoever is in contact with Simon, could you please ask if he has revised the driver cavity and the size of the MCPCB it accepts??

Yes. I will. Contact with Simon is tricky but I will do my best and I will pass have passed on your question.

Well he’s not exactly giving out detailed drawings but “Simon says”

about the L2 flashlight
pcb size 20*1.6mm
driver size 17mm

:slight_smile:

I hope it does not have integrated charging… just complicates modding. I see many of the new lights from Simon has it.

+1 to the NO Charging!

I fear that, because of the unwashed masses this will be the wave of the future :frowning:

Thanks,

MT-G2 and no integrated charging, please :slight_smile:

Larger head, side e-switch and rear switch would be nice. USB charging would suck for a big light. I like things more Spartan. Less flashy bling that could go wrong.

I doubt Simon will put USB charging in it. The reason you he has them is he has slapped his logo on the BD series of small flashlights already being produced by a OEM and used by Dipper and ThorFire. After reviewing 2 BD lights myself, It’s a feature that I wouldn’t use unless it was for a glove box light that can be topped off with my cigarette outlet USB charger. They would be good for gift giving along with a protected cell for those of the unwashed masses.

I think the head will be the same. I asked Simon if he would share any more details. All I got back was that the size will be the same as the last version but he’s making it “more beautiful”. :slight_smile: He’s playing it close to the vest this time; probably a good idea knowing how many copycats are in China waiting to pounce!

I like the idea of an e-switch on that one. I mentioned Jub’s comment to Simon. I doub’t he’ll change his design now but who knows. Maybe he already has an e-switch planned for it. :bigsmile:

Can’t wait! This might just be a Great light… I hope Simon gets it right.

Simon,

Please, Pretty Please give us a Side E-Switch and a Rear Clicky!

Oh! - And Please let the XP-L HI be an option for sure!

Thanks!
-Chuck

I vote side E-Switch only!
Just be sure it has very low parasitic drain and give it anodized threads for those who want to lock it out. No need to add extra length with a tail switch imho.
