Hey guys, new to the forum. I have occasionally visited over the years (when checking lights, I try to see if there is a review on here due to the comprehensive information in the reviews)
So, I got the itch to want a new light. I have been using a chinese light for the past 4 years, not even on the fleabay anymore, i think they had claimed 2klm at that time. From what i can tell, i believe it is an old T6?
I am powering it with two IMREN 5500mah 22a/60a 26650 cells. The unit still works fantastic for most uses, however it is getting there the light flickers now and then which is annoying and i would love more light too.
So the question falls down to, what would a recommended upgrade be? If possible i would like something that can still use my 26650 cells, or possibly reuse my current chassis (it uses 20mm PCB’s)

On another note, i was looking at the Rofis MR70 CREE XHP70.2 as well as Sofirn SP33 V3 last night.
I have a convoy L6 the runs off a pair of 26650’s and it’s an absolute beast. I love it. Another option would be the sofirn SP70. It’s a similarly sized light built around the same emitter as the L6.
I got the SP70 in June this year- salivated over it while the batteries charged up the first day. Then after running it I realized how spoiled I was to own a Q8 which does what I need for that level of throw. The SP70 is just so BIG (as the L6). It’s now my LARGEST shelf queen
But if I had a pair of 26650s laying around and wanted a decent smaller light- I do really like my SP33 V3 in the 5k model (currently out of stock four months now sadly). But the 6.5k version (in stock at sofirnlight.com) I also have is a great outdoor light with decent throw. Lots of comments on it’s step down management being “uneven” and poorly regulated, but I’m not a turbo user (for more than 30 seconds anyway)… and so in (my) real world it does it for me AND love the ramping on the V3 too.
