Due to the arrival of the new little half cells (26350) I did some shuffling around between a couple of Convoy lights.
I had the L6 with XHP-70 and a 2 cell tube for 2 26650’s and a tactical ring, the stock light with an output bump to some 4600 lumens. I also already had an L2 with XP-L and Bistro driver, single 26650 cell tube. So today I got busy and did some swapping and modifications such that the L6 now has a single cell length tube with 2 of the 26350 cells, the tail cap is off my L2 and has been bored to allow an 26700 cell to fit, perfect for working with 2 26350’s.
So now the L6 with it’s larger head has the appearance of the L2 in short form. Love it!
Then I modified an LD-2 driver for the L-2 light, put an E4 1D XHP-35 in it with the 2 cell tube from the L6 so it holds 4 of the 26350 cells. These little cells are 2000mAh in capacity, so now the 12V emitter is taking some 2.8A and I’ll still have close to an hour run time and great throw, but considerably more lumens over the XP-L in this light. I have all 6 of the short cells on the charger now so I can get some readings.
Pretty neat that my big Convoy is now the small one and my small Convoy is now the big one. lol Confusing though, I know. lol
Edit: The charged 26350’s did a tail current of 3.13A to the XHP-35 E4 1D HD emitter for 2986 lumens and 170.25Kcd at over 800M throw, I’ll take it!
