I hate that low voltage protect, it kicks in much earlier and this light flickers so much…… some times the low protection kicks even with fresh batteries :person_facepalming:
That forward clicky I don’t like, but is ok for me. I’ve tried to fix it tightening those retaining rings, but with no success :confounded:
As a newbie, thanks to lurking around here, my favorite is the BLF A6 3D with some DC-Fix (thx Boaz). This light works great for nightly walks with a huge output, a super floody beam, and at a budget price.
I remember picking this light (black L6) out of the box for the first time (last year) thinking that it’s impossible that such awesome machining, feel, and stealthy matte finish can be bought for about $60. It’s amazing alright.
Convoy L6 was my light of the year 2016. :sunglasses:
I’m curious why so many rave about the Convoy L6. Not saying it is a bad light in ANY way…in fact i dont even have it to compare.
Compared to Thorfire S70S, it doesnt throw quite as far, both are 26650 lights and Thorfire is at least $10 cheaper (almost $20, depending on the website).
Is the machining and quality that much different/better on the Convoy?
I have the Thorfire myself and love it, just wondering what the difference is.
Convoy is a little more well known than Thorfire from what I’ve seen. The reputation for Convoy’s quality and value is well known. The L6 is easily modded, and in it’s stock form it already comes with bypassed springs.

I may be a bit biased though, considering I was involved in these to various degrees and have my code on all of them. As for stuff I didn’t make, my favorites are mostly a bit older. In chronological order:
