Review: Convoy L6 (XHP70, 2x26650)

Great pictures! I’m really excited to get mine with the same tint. I ordered a few days ago.

Great review, and very nice pictures well done here is a couple for you :beer: :beer:

Awesome pics! Thanks for the review. I love that beamshot pic.

Nice review

Thanks

So good low mode and no branding, two big advantages!

Awesome review. You covered everything very well. Those pictures through the haze are epic.

I placed and order a few days ago and am anxiously awaiting it. I chose the same tint as you and based on your observations I think I made the right choice.

Thanks.

Thanks for the thorough review! :+1:

The OP mentioned a suggestion that a diffuser would be handy. As an interesting solution when i was car camping and had to bring my cpap, i also had a gallon jug of distilled water. You can see where this is going, snug that very bright light up against the side of the milk jug and it makes a terrific diffuser! it lit up the entire camp site with an almost eerie warm white glow. I realize not very hand if you are back packing but…

Great review!!! Thank you…… :+1:
I just ordered one from GB. :wink:

Great review and pictures. I have the 5000K version coming hopefully next week.

Nice review and great beamshots!
I have the exact same one in the mail right now.

I have used a milk jug as well and noticed than for some reason even a cool white light looks like it’s a warm white when diffused by the milk jug. It makes for a great lantern.

Nice review and thanks for the pics!

Very nice review!
I’m glad you like the L6. I’ve been to busy to do much posting ore reading on BLF lately but in the next few weeks I’ll be back in full swing. Well done and much appreciated. :+1:

Extra beam shot!

The trees in the distance are 220m from the Convoy L6 and camera. The light is positioned just above the camera lens.
Objects 220m away are clearly illuminated in the hotspot, and the light is easily useable at this distance for picking out large animals, etc. I’m sure it can ‘usefully’ illuminate much further but this is the furthest I could test. The light has a great combination of flood and throw.

I will note that to the human eye, the colours in the beam look far more saturated than in this photo.

Very nice beam shot! Thanks. :+1:

Thanks! Very nice light and review!

Does anyone know what the current draw is in the various modes?

It is in the original post in this thread!

Right you are! I have no idea how I missed them.

Interesting review. What this means is that there is no thermal step down in turbo. Does he work until he dies?
