L2 Cobalt Blue (more beautiful) 
I hope Simon will offer the options of both SMO or OP reflector, so that people can assemble the light based on their own preference (whether using XP-L HI or XHP emitters), best of both world I guess.
And perhaps the reflector hole can be made to fit the XHP 70 LED, that would be even better especially in this increasingly more competitive flashlight market. Just as much as I am aware of, while Simon does produce some high quality lights he has yet to come out with something which is really powerful to stand out from the crowds, and I can see this Convoy L2 has the potential to become one, because it can already accepted two 26650 batteries, and if Simon produces an extension tube for it then it can even take more batteries if one wishes. With the right driver (high current of course) it will definitely produce some massive sheer lumens and throw!
20mm for the pill opening is also a bit small for most buck drivers. It should have at least 21mm in diameter for the drivers, and not only that, the depth of the pill is also very important and it should allow 11mm of driver’s height if not more.
Last but not least Simon should start to employ DTP copper board in his lights, because a lot of upcoming (medium range) Chinese lights have started using DTP copper board already. Not only this won’t be adding a lot of cost to his products, but it will also give his products a lot more potential and competitiveness, seriously.
All the above requests will not cost Simon a hell of a works to do anyway I believe. He just need to do some minor modifications on his existing L2, that’s it!
I love my Convoy S2+, the floodiness is awesome, the tint lovely. It gets used like 4-5 times per week as bed side lamp. I am not a big fan of the driver though 
Simon could do with something like the TK driver on the BLF A6 
E-switch would be very nice… Yikes, we need to make sure we don’t upset Simon with all the requests! Maybe we suddenly get NOTHING!
.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - Don’t want to upset Simon!
Simon said that he was going to bring back the L2, not introduce an entirely different light:-)
OTOH - Feedback on what the market is thinking is very valuable. I can think of some real Dogs (in other brands) that were introduced that nobody wanted, that fell flat on their face right out of the gate, never to be seen again. - ‘They’ really should come here and ask us first
Simon - I’m very pleased that you are bringing the L2 back! - But, if I could have just ONE thing different, please let it be a XP-L HI option.
Oh! - And a Side E-Switch, of course ………………………. :evil:
Thank you,
-Chuck
Nailed it, this is exactly why people do market surveys!
Okay I passed the most common group ideas for the L2 along to Simon. No, we aren’t making him mad but I think he is pretty much done with this version . This is how he responded:
“Thanks for your suggestion and all good for DIY (modding). This batch of L2 is one transitional version. I will consider all your suggestion in next batch”
He also included a small low-res picture of the new version. Looks pretty beefy!
Hopefully better pictures and information will follow but he’s probably going to hold back on releasing too much info until it’s ready to sell in his store. I’ll certainly keep you all as informed as I am. Unless I’m sworn to secrecy of course…
New L2 + BLF FET Driver + XP-L HI = :heart_eyes:
I don’t know how to set up custom group buys, but if I did, that’s the one I would try to set up.
Looks very nice!
But, it is just single cell? That would be a drawback imo. (was planning to make a L2 with a MT-G2 with 2x26650 :P)
Still, a very nice looking light with potential.
Hmmm… Earlier you said: “All I got back was that the size will be the same as the last version but he’s making it “more beautiful”.
So I assume it’s still a 2 cell light, with the option to use 1 cell.
But can you ask if it is indeed 2 cell?
Is that what the now-to-come L2 will look like? Or the next version?
Looks pretty badass and made for 26650.
Will buy.
Hmmm, hope it has a 68mm (courui) or bigger reflector?
Well, if we take the battery-tube as 30mm the head is around 60mm
If it’s a single 26650, hope there’s an available extension tube.
+1 :party:
Dude, Simon, pretty sweet styling. :bigsmile: Nice tac-cool feel.
I like the body knurling and the cutouts in the head fin section, they should work as anti-roll too.
No side button visible. Was really hoping for that. :_(
I am LOVING that beefed up exterior!!! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
Yeah, 60mm, it would be pretty close to the K40M reflector, 62mm and that’s a beauty! It is very cool looking, you got to have it, I got to gave it, it’s a CONVOY!!! :heart_eyes:
The head of the K40M is 76.2mm. - No way is the head of the Convoy L2 that big.
Thanks,
-Chuck
Yeah, I know a lot of people were hoping for a side switch but keep in mind he did say this is just the first rendition of the resurrected L2 and that he said he will consider all our suggestions for the next version. He didn’t get our suggestions until after he’d already pretty much completed his design. When I first got the picture I asked him why he did away with the stainless bezel. The more I look at it I don’t think I’d want stainless on this one. It looks more aggressive/menacing without the added bling of stainless. I think this one is going to be really cool. Keep in mind Simon will always consider our suggestions but he makes the decisions. While we all want our ideas to come to life, he is the craftsman here and he is no pushover. If he doesn’t like an idea, he just won’t do it. This is part of his personality and I believe very closely tied to why his lights are so good. He doesn’t compromise unless he is 100% on board with an idea. He has his employees and trusted manufacturers but the decisions are all his. No purchasing department that could shortcut a quality component to save a few cents or pocket a little on the side. This devotion to his business is why Convoy quality is so consistent and why I chose to support him. He may tell us “no” once in a while but he is setting the bar high for Chinese businesspeople. I wish more would follow that example. And I spun out again… I tend to ramble in case you haven’t noticed. 
In closing… Bring on the L2! 
Yep the reflector is 62mm. So a 60mm reflector could be possible in the Convoy? You don’t need 13mm or 6.5mm per side to retain a reflector? The Courui head is 76mm and the reflector is 68mm. The JAX X6 head is 74mm with a 62mm reflector, and is way over built for that reflector. So much so you could use it as a Mace, Club or a Hammer and never hurt it!
