Is the amp reading 5A? That is nice.
Also, a spring bypass right out of the factory is very nice too, but I won’t have any use if it isn’t done right. It should be done with atleast 20(?) awg wire.
Wow this is really cool! A custom hot rod modded light from the factory! This is outstanding for the people that want a modded light with out all the cost or hassle (waiting in line) of having one done by somebody or the cost of the equipment! Direct from the factory, I like it! Here’s one for you “J” and 2 for Simon!!
To be honest, I don’t know how it would perform, I’m just afraid it won’t do its job sufficient.
For us blf’ers that’s not a problem since we can mod it. But for the rest of the buyers that don’t know what modding is it isn’t an option.
So let’s say I rather be on the safe side.
Nevertheless, I’m really happy that Simon went this route! Can’t wait.
Thanks KawiBoy. Without you and others like you to answer my questions on the technical end this would never have happened. As you pointed out, some of us absolutely love these hotrod lights yet don’t have the budget, equipment, skill or time to mod lights ourselves.
This and any other light can be made better or more to specific tastes by a skilled modder. That said, I’m happy to be part of bringing lights that are at least close to modded lights performance-wise to the people in my boat at budget prices.
I will ask Simon but to be honest this is not an ideal light for 18650s as they would be drained very quickly. The XHP70 is quite power hungry and we are feeding it well with this high current driver. I would recommend investing in a pair of hi-drain 26650s for this one.
Nah, that’s not wrong. What’s wrong is when someone posts some exciting pictures of a fantastic new waffle recipe they found and someone follows it with a post that says “I’ve always preferred pancakes”.
Oh well… The L6 sounds like it’s gonna be my third XHP70 light in six month… after the Fandyfire and the Thorfire.
The S70 will be hard to beat at 4k lumen plus the other goodies. Can’t wait to see how the L6 will come out. Both look very similar with the side switch.
I know it, but I have a lot of 18650-s and 0 26650-s now. Just I want to try it before I invest in a lot of 26650, and maybe some other 26650 lights. I’m happy with small and single cell lights until now
Not including adapters is no big deal. Adapters to use 18650’s in a 26650 light are available many places. Fasttech, ebay, …. It may be best to not offer them with the light as many users are not going to use them anyhow.
