I got a MTG2 just waiting for a L2 as soon as Simon releases it.
As for the XHP70, Kai Domain has answered our prayers. I’m waiting on Kai Domain to get back with me with the price of this flashlight in a host form. Chuck the extension in to your parts bin and assemble this bad boy with the XHP70 with the tint of your choice and zener modded fet driver. When KD gets back with me, they’ll tell me what size the driver is. If it’s 26mm, RMM has got us covered.
I don’t have practical experience with the L2, but if I look at the size of the reflector one should hit 250kcd. I’m excited! I’ve been looking for for a bigger brother (26650) version of the Convoy C8. I’ve eventually settled on the Yezl Y3, which has the advantage of the side switch, but, I think the L2 might be a clean, good replacement for the Y3. I believe it will be more expensive though, but, the quality should also be better. I’m all for quality…
This thing is comparable in weight and size to the Jax X6 hunter.
Specification:
Product name: JAX X6 Hunter Flashlight Shell
Material: Aluminum Alloy
Color: black
Weight: 682G (without battery,LED and driver)
Size:240mm x 74mm x 35mm(length x head x tail diameter)
Thats a really nice looking light! Is there a review somewhere of this light?
I hope they sell it as a host with a decent price so I can mod it myself with a XHP-70.
Looks like that light has a good quality, unfortunately way too expensive for a host…
Based on what Simon told me I’d guess about a month before we hear or see anything on the new L2 but I asked him if he can give us an update. Any updated info I receive will be posted here. Based on what he said it is a new design so while I’m sure it will be similar to the old L2 this is a new design.
Larger head, side e-switch and rear switch would be nice. USB charging would suck for a big light. I like things more Spartan. Less flashy bling that could go wrong.
I doubt Simon will put USB charging in it. The reason you he has them is he has slapped his logo on the BD series of small flashlights already being produced by a OEM and used by Dipper and ThorFire. After reviewing 2 BD lights myself, It’s a feature that I wouldn’t use unless it was for a glove box light that can be topped off with my cigarette outlet USB charger. They would be good for gift giving along with a protected cell for those of the unwashed masses.
I think the head will be the same. I asked Simon if he would share any more details. All I got back was that the size will be the same as the last version but he’s making it “more beautiful”. He’s playing it close to the vest this time; probably a good idea knowing how many copycats are in China waiting to pounce!
I like the idea of an e-switch on that one. I mentioned Jub’s comment to Simon. I doub’t he’ll change his design now but who knows. Maybe he already has an e-switch planned for it. :bigsmile:
