Hi,
I want to build a Convoy L2 with the following specs:
1) 2x26650 (or 2x21700 in carbon tube as spacers)
2) 200kcd+, with some spill
3) 1 mode
4) Momentary
What LED emitter (XPL HI, SST-40 shaved dome, etc.), copper pill, and what driver should I use? Any information, especially on components, are welcome.
I’m just using this Convoy L2 with 2 cells, so I want the most out of it, without hurting the LED. Can I expect 200kcd flat until the batteries drain, without the LED getting damaged?
For ages, my EDC was a 1-mode ~1.4A ’502. On, off, done.
I got 2 L2s, box queens. Hardly ever used ’em. Wellp, aside from testing (not DOA) and playing around one night, they’re back in the boxes snoozing. Forget the W30, I don’t really have the “need” for even an L2. Nice lights, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a niche light to me.
My nightstand Cometa can zoom The Bat Signal if I want it, got a P30, C8T, and now GTmini if I want… when would I “need” that little bit more throw like from an L2?
So… I got ’em, but ain’t really familiar with ’em. Bone-stock, no mods.
