Here is just one example of our individual āwants & needsā.
Personally I āwantā 5350K to 5700K. And anything below 5000K & I do not buy. Just another example of āindividual wants & needsā.
No right or wrong in either exampleā¦ just individual preference. No way on earth to cater to each individual āBLF preferenceā. No way at allā¦ā¦
But againā¦ā¦ on ādecisionsā that were made months ago. Stick with them unless there are compelling reasons to change. Thenā¦.If those ācompelling reasonsā do happen, discuss them openly. DO NOT try to sneak them into the narrative.
As an example, I obviously havenāt built a lot of lights, but I can see how easy it is to cut off an 1/8ā of threaded tube and run it into the head as a retaining ring, bingo, problem solved. No redesign necessary. There, that wasnāt so hard, was it?
Yea the compelling reason here is money lol. It may be an extra few weeks wait on the LEDs after a few delays already. Peoples heads are on the chopping block lol.
Isnāt it fairly easy to swap the led to whatever color you want?
I was goofing around with some junk leds so I decided to swap their mcpcb. I used my cheap hot air station. It was much easier than I thought. Now I can do reflows.
She says they had success in finding the 5350-5700K leds. I donāt know if it will delay anything or not. She sounded like they got lucky and found a supplier in Hong Kong.
The 21700 should fit āunofficiallyā. The manual will only say 18650 and 26650, though.
It is too late to add a retaining ring to the design. The first batch (for us at BLF) will not have any glue on the driver. I donāt know about later batches. Maybe eventually they will glue in the drivers.
Iām wondering if it might be better if later batches only used a tiny bit of weak glue on the battery tube with nothing on the driver. This should secure the driver in place, but might be easier for the enthusiast to loosen. IDK, just a thought.
Wish convoy was building this light, we would have tint choices up the wazoo! Anything over 5k is poop, 4k perfect. My sofirn Q8 is great for showing off, the oringin BLFQ8 is far superior in tint and real useage. Any humidity in the air renders the Sofirn Q8 as useless.
yeah i agree, its awful quiet on the convoy front, we have got an updated c8+ but still no l6+ wonder whyā¦ guess the l6 sells still and is good enough for most people looking for a budget friendly light that does over 3000+ lumens on turbo and not breaking your wallet.
This is nothing more than your opinion & preference.
Here is mineā¦. 4000K sux. Most anything under 4700K is pure crapā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦yeah pure crap, as far as I am concerned.
And again, this is nothing more than my preference & opinion.
But the CCT of this light was decided months ago to be between 5350K & 5700K.
To gripe & whine about that now is nothing less than stupid.
And the builder of this light, Sofirn; was decided from the start.
To gripe & whine about that now is worse than stupid.
Donāt like it, donāt buy it. Plenty of people willā¦ā¦
Convoy made XHP70.2 version L6 with SMO reflector on Aliexpress. I think driver is the same or a little boosted. Factory claims 4300 lumens. I hope this SP70 will be much brighter
