Based on the reviews of Pilotdog68 on here and kj75 on CPF, I think two big improvements the L6 can have over the s70 is the ability to have quicker mode changes and a lower low. Something down in the 5-10 lumen range would be great and maybe a hidden moonlight for an extended runtime.
Can’t wait …
how much longer?
Patience my friend, patience. :face_with_monocle:

No seriously, how long? O:-) Just kidding of course, Simon's health and personal life goes before the L6. I hope everything will be alright.

LOL. It’s unfortunate just how true this can be… >:-/
I know… I’m right there with you. I am just now and s-l-o-w-l-y getting back in communication with Simon. It is not yet the regular communication I am used to. Aside from the normal CNY thing Simon moved to a new factory and has several issues to address. What I can tell you is that this delay is in part due to Simon not wanting to release this light until it is right. It should prove worth the wait. 
Hang in there friends!
I don’t know if it has been mentioned, but he has a notice up on his shop at ali that he has “severe periarthritis of shoulder”, which probably isn’t helping either. 
I check this thread everyday. I have seen this notice. It’s very sad.
What’s with selling of other lights?
I want to buy L2 with XP-L HI and replace LED on XHP70 with this driver:
http://www.edc-light.com/ld-29s-high-effeciency-cree-mtg2-xhp-50-70-driver_p1049.html
Is it possible? And how effective it will be?
Should work pretty well, 3A isn’t really pushing a 6V emitter hard so it shouldn’t make extreme heat issues. Don’t know if that driver can take being resistor modded, some of those style don’t fare well trying that.
As long as the diameter fits or you can make it fit, should work pretty nicely.
Hello! Any news from Simon? Can he give us an update about the current L6 design and production status?
Thanks
Greetings friends!
Unfortunately, I do not have a major update to announce on the L6 quite yet. As most of you are aware there were a few complications during CNY and moving to the new factory. I can tell you that Simon is doing better physically and that things at Convoy are returning to where they should be. We are starting to make progress again but taking the extra time necessary to make sure things are done to Convoy standards. Steps are being taken to increase QC and streamline internal processes. Simon is looking for an assistant to improve this entire process but where his factory is located it is proving very difficult to find someone to fill this position who speaks English as well as Chinese. We are working out the details on the driver for the L6 currently but I can’t confirm the specifics just yet. I expect to be able to announce something with more substance fairly soon. Stay tuned…
Goodto hear, thanks for the update!
Love the sig line. Your in good compenny hear. 
The factory is getting ready to send the first sample to Simon. Keep in mind this and many of my threads are based on preliminary information not typically available to the general public. Bugs are usually worked out behind closed doors before the “public” sees a product… but BLF is a special place. I say this only because there could be issues that create the “one step forward, two steps back scenario”. Probably not, but just sayin…
That’s like nails on a chalkboard for me :( Just painful to read! :/

Hello!
Please answer me: Simon will be produce 3000K version of L6?
Dear Sir. I think it will take more time to answer this.
Thanks tarver. Yes, that sums up about all I can say on the matter at this time. Simon was working with the Cree representative to try and find more tint options. I can’t promise 3000K but Simon is doing his best to bring more options to the table than the average XHP70 light. Most are simply cool white and I understand it’s not easy to find a lot of variety in this particular emitter but I did ask that he try to find something at least in the neutral range. I’ll check with him to see if any progress has been made on that front.
I’d love to see Simon acquire the 96 CRI XHP-70, it’s a beautiful output and would really be sweet in his creation.
I just took a look at CREE’s data sheet and it looks like they have a 5000K 90 CRI min option (I guess this is 96 Typical?).
I got mine from Cutter in Australia, they did a Spectrum Analysis and say it does 96CRI, not sure which of Cree’s listing this is, but it definitely makes a nice light! I have it in my Olight SR-90 Intimidator with an Illuminations Machines Lum 5-90 reflector.
