The best dog walking light will vary by person but there are a lot of options. At the top of my list would be an L6 / S70s if you want something you can knock someone over the head with if needed. The Q8 is also a great option for this.
In smaller packages an X6 or X7 triple makes for a great overall light with some good output.

Just updated my MT07 with a XHP70.2 (same P2 3B), but from KD. I did make resistor mods, but had somewhat disappointing results with updated to a XHP70 P2 1C - now I'm not even sure it is what I thought it was....
Anyways, the results:
7,480 lumens @start, 7,280 lumens @30 secs, 198 kcd at 5m (890 meters)
Before on the XHP70 I got:
5,710 lumens @start, 5,250 lumens @30 secs, 140 kcd at 5m (748 meters)
Significant gains. The boost in throw is very encouraging. The MT07 has an OP, but it's a big head for sure at 86 mm, and 72.5 mm I.D. Sorry, didn't measure amps.

with a 2000lm gain and 60.000cd I wouldn’t be disappointed :money_mouth_face:

I’m a bit lost in all that led’s
Can I put this 70.2 in Convoy L6 without modification?
Or if not what should I mod?

If your using the stock driver this 70.2 would fit just fine.
If your using a FET driver, then it may pull excessive amps.

Thank you so much!
I’m using driver from Kaidomain, but it’s almost the same as original, only different firmware.

Also did resistor mod, added R100 resistor.
Got to order 70.2 then
It should be great in L6 with SMO reflector I have

Did you get the driver that has the 3 modes plus standby?

Yes you can!
can you dedome it too?
I don’t know about removing the dome, but you can easily slice it off.

Digikey has the XHP70.2 in stock now.

Has anyone sliced the dome off one of these yet?
I’m curious if the color gets warmer, how much output you lose and if it still has the yellow corona.

So far everyone that’s shaved the dome on one of these ‘new phosphor’ emitters has gotten reduced intensity and lumen output.
I think ONE person managed to dedome one? Can’t remember for sure.

How hard are they to reflow? Would the P2 bin 1A be big improvement to a stock Acebeam K60?

Member MEM was able to truly dedome the xpg3 and other new emitters. But it was his trade secret and he’s been absent from here for 8-9 months.
With driver mod, there should be a similar improvement as on the MT07: Haikelite MT07 mods. - #18 by Tom_E

DTP by the looks of it.
You can see the round cornered rectangular thermal slug stick through the dielectric layer.
