I just noticed that myself, I didn’t use solder paste…it looks like the thermal paste that was under the stock mcpcb. I’ll have to take her back apart and clean it.
I still haven’t decided if I will buy this one. I really want it but I also have the S70… And I don’t really have a use for it so it’s purely for collection.
I’ve been ready to put an order in for the L6 for a while, and I’ve been keeping up with this thread as much as possible. But I have a few questions that I haven’t found answers to yet.
Questions for you guys:
Has anyone received a NW L6 and verified that a direct thermal path MCPCB comes stock?
If I wanted to throw in a new driver (like a FET), what do you guys recommend that will still work with the side switch.
KawiBoy1428 is an artist. No doubt about it. Unfortunately on your question about the DTP board he is one of three test pilots that did not receive a stock L6 with a DTP board. Simon put a lot of effort into resolving that quickly and to my knowledge (per Simon) only three were shipped without a DTP board. One to me, one to Dale and one to KawiBoy.
Based on everything I know of Convoy and Simon’s work I can confidently say that your light will have a true DTP board. Bait-and-switch is something you will not see with Convoy. If you or anyone gets an L6 without a DTP MCPCB please let me know.
Myself, I agree. I’m still a “new guy” but I have learned to appreciate Convoy products. They keep getting better and better. Very dedicated and dependable company.

Has me thinking about a 22mm MTN-MAX 1A-6A Buck Driver - 5V-18V
12v X 4 amps = 48 watts
A 4s L6 wouldn’t be so hard for me I will soon have two extensions and a 2X ring tube.
Not sure if a 6v/12v SinkPad and/or L6 is up for that much though.
Speaking of that mcpcb the good people of SinkPad sent me a gerber file.
I’d have to go with the 4S 26500 just to help keep the length down as much as possible. Is this going to be using a XHP35-HI? I had been wondering what that led would do in these bigger lights.
