EXPIRED - Convoy L4 Tactical XM-L2 U2-1A ------- $24.55 Shipped -------(user choice of tint for $1- $1.50 extra)

Hello,

i want to order this nice torch, but i always had cool white leds before and i hesitate a bit between the different tint options…any advice ?

Was wondering about t6-3B…i would like something natural…

Thank for your advices. H)

Go for the 4* or 5* range and thank me later. 8)

3* looks like snow white (or “pure” white) and is ok for general use, where cool white in the 1* or 0* range look blueish or purplish, but 4* and 5* range are warmer and somewhat “vanilla-ish” (lol) which is pleasant and a very noticeably warmer than cool white LEDs, it renders skin tones and foliage better and gives greater depth perception, at the expense of very little luminosity.

I ordered mine on April 4 and is on it’s way from BG. It seems that they bumped up the price and give you the 28% discount. I used the same code and it worked out to be the same price.

It is too bad that I missed Simon’s promo for the L4 for $5.

If it’s true, it’s not a good way to make business…. :~

I wonder exactly how warm the T6-4C is. I actually like the tint of my SRK T6 when I was comparing it with one of my XM-L2 U2-1A flashlights. Was putting both at a bush last night, and the SRK has noticeably better looking colors. I do know that I bought some high CRI XM-L2's a while back and man is the warm color uglyyyyy. I'm definitely more of a cool white/neutral white person

4c will be a neutral tint. I’ve got a few 3c lights and they are okay. I tend to prefer pure cool white 1A and mostly stay away from 5+. A good 1A has no bluish or purple hue to it, just cool pure white awesomeness. :slight_smile:

Where you tend to see cool white with purple/blue hue is in cheapo budget lights where they use cheap emitters to save on costs.

There are a lot of pics showing beamshots of different tints; don’t have time to look em’ up though, sorry.

How do you get it to 24.45? i get 30 including shipping…with the code.

Edit, NVM!

Just put the coupon code in the coupon code box on the right side. You might have to click down on the coupon code box for it to open up.

Edit: Oops... Typing on the phone is so slow. Sorry just seen you figured it out!

dang it… still fighting it… should I ? btw 1700+ lumen coming from this light is amazing :weary:

DayLighter, do it man. GB fell through, so this is as good as it gets.

Also please tell me how to get 1700+ lumens so I can order what I need before the light gets here!

Get 2, your 2000th post giveaway is coming up soon. (hint, hint.)

interesting light - good price and good tints

Blfdemigod you have to pm Tom E for details :smiley:

after reading the review i am sold

ordered t6 4c

Guys I need some input, this vs the new XinTD V5 XM-L2? Can’t afford both right now. :weary:

Follow your heart, which I'm pretty sure is saying the Convoy L4!

is the switch on the rear to turn the light on and off, while the side switch is for changing modes only?

Tough call. I have a Tangsfire C8 with the East-092 driver and a Convoy L4. They are really similar lights. The hotspot on my C8 is a tiny bit smaller, but the overall spill beam width is exactly the same.
Pointing both lights across the room towards my light meter (I’m too lazy to measure the distance) the C8 reads 3500 Lux, the L4 reads 5500 Lux. I can not see that difference. The tighter hotspot on the C8 seems slightly brighter to my eyes. Maybe because the C8 is a cooler emitter.
The side switch on the L4 is not waterproof. It is water resistant, but not waterproof. The C8 should be much more water resistant that the L4.
The big difference is the user interface. I like dual switch lights. Every time I turn on the light, it will be in the same mode. I can turn it on and off as fast as I want and it won’t change modes or go into some weird super disco strobe mode.
If I could only get one, it would be the L4.

Yes. Rear switch can only turn on and off. Side switch can only change modes when the light is on.

I forgot- there’s one other big difference between the C8 type lights and the L4. The L4 has a buck, or boost/buck driver. I know it’s a buck driver because it can run on one cell or two and it has no PWM. I’m not sure if it is a boost driver though. Haven’t had time to test that.
