Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

[BanglaBob]

@Andyman

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:

@J-Dub74

…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. …

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

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

@J-Dub74

…He also included several pictures. In the picture below the L6 is posing with two KeepPower 5200mAh protected cells…

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

Hey! I resemble that remark! I’ll have you to know I have 5! 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. )

HA! Well sir… I stand corrected. 2% corrected to be exact. 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.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

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

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

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

Packaging looks nice.

I have a BLF D80. And a C8 with XPL-HI and A17DD driver, thanks. I prefer more the look of the L6 then the X6.

Excellent, can we expect a full review?

+1 I would like to see this happen as well!

I need some time, and to take some pics but absolutely. It out throws the BLF D80 with XM-L2 and A17DD.

[Miguel_79]

Without wishing to create controversy. Out of those who want a particular led tint. I do not understand the much excitement with this flashlight. In my opinion the Thorfire S70 is better for some reasons…

Built-in voltage indicator on the mode button

Big head, throw more.

More accessories included.

Cheaper.

S0S mode. It is always better to have it than not having it, and with more reason when it is hidden.

Sorry, I meant Freeme and the L6.

But if you want to do a review that would be good too.

Well the S70 is the biggest competitor for sure. Let´s be honest both lights will be very similar (and look very similar). Maybe the L6 will probably have a few more lumens out of the box but I don´t expect to be a huge (visible) difference, since many reviewers have reported the S70 goes way beyond the claimed 3000 lumens. it´s also easily moddable (as the L6 will be too of course).

The S70 is more on the floody side, maybe the L6 is more of a thrower. So everyone can pick his prefered torch. Win/Win
I´m sure as soon as the light is available comparison reviews will surface quickly!

:person_facepalming: :laughing: No problem.

@freeme

Did you expect any less? Simon likes to go the extra mile.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

The “extra mile” would have a foam top on it as well, protecting the entire light in the box. Just saying!

Looks nice, like the extra size on the head, can’t wait to try one out!

Andrew that’s Simon holding the light, not Freeme. The light isn’t listed for sale yet but it will be any time now. It’s a pretty safe bet that one of the first reviews will be coming from a photographer friend of mine.
