Convoy L2 XHP50.2 K2-1C outdoor performance

Based on some reviews I read, the stock Convoy L2 with XPL-Hi is supposed to have a throw of somewhere around 700+ meters. (120+ kcd??)

Any idea how many meters throw would the Convoy L2 with XHP50.2 do?

I estimate around the same throw as XP-L HI version but more spill and bigger spot. But soon I will get mine from Simon and I will make some measurements.

Driver manufacturer sent me a xhp35 driver sample to me , but it only outputs 1000mA.
I think it’s big enough, Limited by size,i want apply xhp35 in L6 host with 2A xhp35 driver.

i’m sorry ,i dont have seperate head

70kcd, about 530m

Wait a few days and I will measure the new XHP50.2 version and add it to my tables.
The XP-L HI L2 done 141700 cd
XM-L2 done 71750 cd
I think the XHP50.2 will make around 100000 cd

That would be really great !

You want to make a L6 with a XHP35 using a boost driver running at 2amps i think that would be a popular light. You should have a big enough driver diameter to get enough power out of the driver without issues driver will still run hot but should be manageable.

Other option would be a buck driver using 4 26350 cells that would give over 1 hour run time on highest output and you would not have to modify the battery tube. I think this would be a niche item because not many people have 26350s but you could bundle them as a package.

I have a crappy light i bought from Aliexpress its got a similiar size reflector to the L2 and i put a buck driver in it with a XHP50.2 resistor modded the driver its around 9amps now. I sliced the dome on the XHP50.2 the beam pattern is really good. Throw is good better than my stock L6 and S70 and output is similiar.

Simon was closer than me to numbers. :smiley:
I just measured the new XHP50.2 4000K L2 and got this:
1829 lumens and 49200 cd
It has more spill than XP-L HI and XM-L2 version. It lights up the surrounding area much better. Soon I will upload the video I made.

everydaysurvivalgear, have you measured the actual emitter amperage after your resistor mod to the driver? Just curious what that 9A reading you listed is doing for the emitter…

Convoy’s my favorite. My next light will be a L2. I don’t need it, but you know how that is. I run hounds. (no animals harmed). I usually carry an S2 and a C8. I use as little light as I can to get through the woods, then a light with throw to find what they’ve treed, or at least see eyes through lots of foliage. Could somebody please explain how to choose between a L2 XHP35, XHP50.2 or XPH70.2 , or maybe something else. I want most throw and narrowest beam.
Forgive me if this is easily searchable. My old computer with dial up is a mess.

You can’t buy XHP35 or XHP70.2 L2 yet. You only can choose XP-L HI, XM-L2 and XHP50.2.
For most throw choose XP-L HI version or wait a few months because Simon want to release XHP35 HI version.

In my experience with modding the L2, the XP-L HI will give the most throw even over the XHP-35. Sufficient to say though, the XHP-35 comes close and gives more total output in the process. Significantly more light.

I have a machined finish L2 with XHP-35 HI using a prototype boost driver and it really seriously rocks. :smiley: (~2300 lumens? Edit: From notes, 2246 lumens at 266.75Kcd for 1033M throw) Run time on a single high discharge 26650 is similar to what a pushed XP-L HI will draw, the extra lumens come in very handy. I also have a black L2 with extension tubes and 4 26350 cells utilizing a tweaked LED4POWER driver to run the XHP-35 at a maximum, it too does a very good job and run time is sufficient for me. I do like the short configuration of the L2 the most though and the machined finish light is just exceptional, jewelry grade. :heart_eyes: Thanks Simon! :+1:

Edit: FWIW a sliced and diced SST-40 also rocks the L2. Just saying… (careful, this one has bond wires!)

Edit: To add, a modified L2 with XHP-70.2 also impresses, just not so much in the throw department. I built one for my Bro-in-Law that he loves, something in the 7000 lumens range. He’s a hunter and uses it regularly, fights my nephew over it all the time! lol

Hi Simon, any updates for the XHP35 type light?

Another question, will the L2 XHP50.2 run on 1 cell, or do you need 2 cells?

Regards, P.

i’m waiting for the driver

L2 XHP50.2 must run on 2pcs cells

Hi Simon, do you possibly have some update ?

H1-A driver makes it possible with a single cell. Available in LHT Flashlight Store and its sister shop Kaidomain. I have one running inside a super modified SK98, using additional stacked R100 + R330 + R330 sense resistors for up to ≈4.20A of output current without issues (using an additional 47µF output capacitor too).

Cheers ^:)

driver for XHP35 HI?
i got the sample ,
i will get suitable gasket soon
