Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

I ordered liitokala 26650 from AliExpress official store… They shipped it on July 4… I am still waiting for them. I will update…

thanks, I’ll get a second L6 in clear that is for sure, waiting on a good deal.

True i kinda like 26650 lights in ergonomics compared to 18650 lights, the 26650 tube is nicer to grip.

Went hiking on trails below the Griffith Observatory. The flashlights were so bright that a police helicopter noticed it, flew over, and shined their spotlight at us. The flashlight was brighter. Although to be fair, the helicopter was pretty far away.



That must’ve made for one confused pilot :smiley:

Perhaps they were more concerned with who was polluting the dark skies in the vicinity of the Observatory….

Good one. It’s powerful, but I don’t think it’s powerful enough to actually pollute the skies. Lol

Flashlight<City

Also, the griffith observatory has a ton of lights at the actual observatory itself that are brighter than a couple of flashlights. We were on the trails in the park, farther away from the observatory.

The light pollution from Los Angeles is pretty bad and the observatory is in the center of that albeit on the top of a mountain.

Where would be a good place to sell my L6? I have three of them, two silver, one black. Used only a couple of times for a very short time and all look brand new? I am from BC Canada.

Looking for some guidance everyone….

I owe a mate a big favour so I was thinking of gifting him either An L6 or the TF S70/S now that there are a few good prices on offer on these babies.

He has acreage so I think he’ll get a lot of use out of this format

So my question is can either of these lights run with 2 18650s because I know he has Panasonic NCR18650Bs (protected) ?

If they do, I guess I’ll have to get him some of those plastic do da’s to put on the 18650s so they won’t rattle

Sorry if it’s already been covered in here but I can’t find it

Ps. Still Loving my clear L6

Thanks all

Yeah, they will both work with 18650. The L6 needs cells under 70mm, though.

If he has the Evva brand protected versions, they are 69.5mm. So those should work. If it’s a different brand, you’ll need to measure as different companies add slightly different protection circuits.

If you do have some cells too long you can unscrew the battery tube from thd head one or 2 turns to get some extra length.

And you need spacers. Simon sells those.

Thanks JasonWW and Jack
I should have said this but I will try a few different 18650s in mine but it’s just that I don’t have those do da’s but tomorrow I’ll dig around the shed for something that fits , and report back

I have been running my L6 exclusively on 18650 with printed battery sleeve/adapter, i couldn’t be bother to buy additional 26650 so i just 18650 that i have plenty but if runtime is important you should get 26650 as they are bigger in capacity.

I am getting my convoy l6 modded with xhp70.2 FET driver… should I use shockli or liitokala?

Shockli might be too fat?

I’m running Shockli 5500 in any of my 3 L6’s, 1 orig black or 2 clears. Little close fit in one of the clears but still works. You’ll need a solder blob or magnets.

On L6 with TA driver I’m getting 4800 lux @ 5 meter for approx 120,000 cd. (4.15v)

Sorry don’t have liitokala to compare against. But definitely an upgrade to Keeppower Protected.

Is this with SMO or OP reflector?
XHP70 or XHP70.2?
Dome on or sliced off?

I think a better way to compare the batteries would be to measure the amp draw at the tail cap.

What is the Shokli length?

I have 26650 series connector coming from the jaxman… I forget to mention that.

According from the blf, liitokala battery works best with the FET driver…

Add some wire bypasses so you don’t melt the springs.

Shockli 5500 mAh
Diameter: 26.7mm
Height: 65.3mm
