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. 
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.
Oh, I know what you mean. I got 17.3 amps. It heats up super quick. I try to ramp down Narsil just until I see the output reduce a little bit and keep it there. It’s probably 5 to 7 amps if I had to guess. Then I use full power just for testing or for distance use. That’s more practical since I use it a lot as a work light.
Your l6 can turn on/off using side switch? Mine only changes modes.
Jason is running Narsil in his, same as me - modded, see his sig line.
NarsilM v1.1 will have a configurable ramping max, so you don't have to go to full FET on ramping, but dbl click to turbo goes full max. We did this for the GT Buck driver, and I incorporated it for general use with FET or 7135, FET+1, FET+1+n drivers as well.
I’m using ToyKeeper’s ramping with the side switch functional in my L6. Old, I guess, but very nice all the same.
Yep. Ever since I got my L6 I found the rear switch awkward. I’m so used to Maglites for the last 20 years, the 2D cell size. You can hold them behind the head and it’s balanced really well. You can also slip it in your back pocket very easily with that grip.
So I set off in search of a way to use the side switch for on/off. Kaidomain has a version of the FX30 driver that let’s you use the side switch for power. I put a description in my L6 thread. The stock FX30 driver only uses the side switch to switch modes. Convoy uses their own firmware on the FX30 driver and kept it similar, but added better mode spacing and a few other tweaks.
Then I swapped to the Texas Avenger driver with Narsil. Man I love that ramping and the power of a FET is awesome!
If you can do basic soldering, you can order a new driver and install it. It’s pretty easy. But if your not able to do that then you’ll need to pay someone to put it together for you.
I just recently found out Vinh of Sky Lumen was offering his version of the L6. He uses a fet driver custom made by Richard over at Mountain Electronics.
