Anyone got experience with these?

My L6 arrived this week :slight_smile:

Since the Black and gold Liitokala 26650’s still didnt arrive, and some laptop pulls do the job, but i dont trust my current measurements (20 cm standard hirschmann measuring wire, gave 2,6 A and dropped quickly to 2,4 and lower)

I thought, lets try these, since the efest is out of stock, and they can deliver fast to me

I suppose certain cells can draw the same amps, but do so with different levels of voltage sag. That 20700 you mention probably does 18.7 amps, but at a higher voltage so that’s why you see the higher lumen output.

This is a variable I had not thought of. This new dimension is very interesting.

JasonWW in case you didn’t see this HKJ tests for Shockli

Thanks.

Very nice performance. I wonder what kind of amp draw you’d get from the Shockli in an L6 with a fet driver with the 70.2?

Hi all,

Has anyone done a direct comparison type test of Convoys copper mcpcbs vs like sinkpad or noctigon? They seem very good, I’m just wandering if there is anything to be gained from one board to another. I see here in this pic there is some kind of a mask over the center pad…

We had some really heavy fog roll in Saturday night. Heavy fog looks amazing in the beam of a high powered light. :sunglasses:
I set my L6 on the patio and took a few pictures. You could see the water vapor swirling in the air like a micro-snowstorm.

I also had my Q8 prototype near the door so that one had to come out to play too.

Fun in the fog. :slight_smile:

Very nice pictures j-dub!

anyone know where to get a translucent tailcap for Convoy L6?

Simon of course. He has the side switch cover as well.

Thanks, i will ask Simon.

Or banggood or kaidomain. you need to look for 16mm diameter.

thanks.

I think Simon is the only one with the translucent side switch if you wanted that.

He will give you a couple for free, just pay for shipping. Or if you buy something from his store, he will toss them in for free. He’s a good guy.

yeah he answered my PM earlier today, he offered me both translucent switches for convoy L6 i am going to order S2+ desert tan from him.

I finally got my convoy l6 in xhp70.2… very nice light, and heavy too…hot spot is big. The side switch is disabled… only tail switch…

Why would you only want tail switch operation? It’s very awkward to hold like that.

I find it much better to hold in the middle of the light and turn on/off, etc… using the side switch.

Well tailswitch is cheaper… according from the skylumen, tailswitch l6 is $150. Sideswitch is $170…

I got my l6 testing sample for $120… so I am happy with that… skylumen said this l6 is tough mod… it put out 6500 lumen and 135k lux…

My Black L6 is now doing 8,230 lumens @30 secs, and 195 kcd, with a XHP70.2 P2 3B, running NarsilM. At turn on, it does 9,100 lumens. It gets quite hot @30 seconds of course...

The side switch works great with smooth ramping.

That’s impressive lumens. I wish I had a lumen box/tube to measure mine.

Out of curiosity, what cells are you using and what amperage are you pulling?

Two LK's at 4.20V, one solder topped. Amps measured was 17.9A. Ideally, best if run with higher resistance cells - just too much amps, too much heat.
