Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

Very interesting question! :wink:

Dont ask HAHA

Right Mukcep? :stuck_out_tongue:

Just be patient

J Dub is very good at updating this thread with info

Very long time i want to say something, but better i will not say anything.

It’s May Day Holiday over there, so once again we have a National Vacation day standing in our way and creating havoc. The next couple of days should show people trickling in back to work, hung over and sending out excuses but back at work.

You guys crack me up. Now everyone’s like “Don’t bother him or he’s gonna get mad.” :smiley: Nothing wrong with asking questions.

As Dale mentioned, May Day is just winding down in China. Holidays over there are different. A one day holiday seems to mean 4-7 days of delayed business. Simon just sent me a string of emails over the last few hours and now I’d imagine he’s sleeping so no more will come until tomorrow. I don’t have a listing date to announce yet but I imagine it should be any day.

I did get the very good news that Simon found a source for neutral XHP70 emitters in Hong Kong. I don’t know the exact tint/bin yet but he said 5000K which is what I was asking for so this should be good. He said he will be purchasing them after May Day. More news when I have it. Cheers!

I’ve been trying to decide if I really “need” a new monster flashlight, and if so, whether to get this L6, the S70, or wait on Miller’s Q6.
But this:

is making my decision easier. I guess I’m in for one, as soon as neutral is available! :cool: Thanks for the updates!

That’s not it.

We just want him focused on “Big Mo”. The mother of all flashlights. :smiley:

We should have a contest for a nickname for this new monster.

Hey guys!

I have a question regarding the batteries. Will this light support both protected and unprotected cells, and if so, which ones would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Great question, especially for those of us who intent to use the stock/unmoddified version!

Photon gun or Light cannon :slight_smile:

“Big Mo”

I’m not the best person to recommend batteries but Simon told me he tested this light using KeepPower 5200mAh cells. He also included several pictures.
In the picture below the L6 is posing with two KeepPower 5200mAh protected cells so I’m going to guess that those are the cells he used so it should support both protected and unprotected cells. Keep in mind of course that whatever cells you buy have to run in series so completely flat top cells will not work unless you use a magnet or something to make the connection from cell to cell. Some flat top cells are raised just enough to run in series. I think the purple Efest 26650 may fall into that category. Good stores like Mountain Electronics will usually state in the battery listing if a flat top cell is raised enough on the positive end to be run in series. Seeing as this is a current controlled driver based light I do not think you’d see any real gains by going ultra-hi-drain versus something with good capacity.

I’ll let the more experienced people take it from here and correct me if I misspoke in any of this.

Edit: Dale will probably be able to post numbers from a few different cells when he receives his but probably only in the unprotected varieties.

I don’t think you’ll find many protected cells at Dale’s house. :smiley:

Hey! I resemble that remark! I’ll have you to know I have 5! :stuck_out_tongue: Three AW Protected 18650 1600mAh in my Solarforce S2200, one in my wife’s PD’1, and one in my son’s little EDC from his grandpa. So there.
(I think that comes out to about 2% of my cells are protected. :slight_smile: )

+1 Yes! 5000K please !!
That would surely seal the deal for me :money_mouth_face:

I believe this form of torture is prohibited by the Geneva convention? :open_mouth: :person_facepalming:

HA! Well sir… I stand corrected. 2% corrected to be exact. :wink: I have a few protected cells as well. One in my son’s blue S2+ and the other in my wife’s purse… in her red S2+ if we’re being specific. :slight_smile:

At rough count I have around 220 cells.

I really like the new design style of L2 and L6, but I like my C8 for it’s size and features. Is it possible in the future that the L series will be extended with a C8 size little brother? I think the lot of fins on the head of L2 and L6 is also will be good in that size and looks very nice in a single 18650 form. And I think a lot of people will buy it if Simon make it. Just an idea :beer: :smiley:

Whelp neutral XHP70, i’ll have one of these eventually. :frowning:

Hey,
just a tip: get a Kronos X6/BLF X6-SE if you need a very compact yet very powerful single 18650 pocket thrower.

CU,
K.
