Convoy L6 reflector modification question

LED Flashlights – General Info 26650 Flashlights

So I am now living in a situation where I can take rails-to-trails bicycle trails almost everywhere! Have an electric bicycle, and can go dozens of miles in a day, and see the whole city! Its really great, however trail quality is poor and the “Lance Armstrongs” are numerous, and jerks.

So recently, I attended happy hour with some colleagues and decided I’d use a RamMount to attach my Convoy L6 to the handlebars for the ride home, as this bicycle doesn’t have a light on it. I-can’t-remember-which-driver which runs at or near direct drive, no thermal stepdown, XHP70.2… Wow was that great! 7,000+ lumens for the whole ride home! It was 11pm, and the trail was empty, and all was fine.

Well we had another happy hour, but this time I left at about 8p, and when I hit the trail, it was loaded with people. Other bikers, mom/dad/child combos, runners, etc. The Convoy L6 was nothing short of terrorism. People were having to stop and shield their eyes, I almost caused two joggers to run into each other a full 100 meters away! Even if you turn this thing waaaay down, that beam is just atrocious; there is no setting low enough that I can still see but others are not blinded.

So has anyone attempted to I don’t know, slide a cut mirror down into the reflector? I have tried to simply cover the top half of the glass, but that does nothing; that reflector would need to change. I don’t mind having two reflectors, one for biking and a regular.

Just curious has anyone attempted to bicycle with a fully loaded Convoy L6 and needed to modify.

Do this but much bigger.

That’s a large light for a bike. Too bad you can’t just cover the top half of the lens. maybe you could buy a second lens or reflector and paint half of it flat black (Top Half) to direct the light where you want it. Or buy a head lamp. Sofirn sells one I really like a lot.

Something I would do if I had to ride a bike in the dark is to buy a projector headlight and attach it to the handle bar. Those that you buy for headlight retrofits that use a H1 HID bulb. I had those in my car with a 4300k HID and it was awesome! With a clean cut-off line.
Something like this.

Of course you would need to improvise some battery pack but a few 18650 should do the trick just fine.

I remember couple yrs ago.
A post on here on Multiple types and sizes of reflectors. giving round. pencil and Flat top/slit beams. when changed into some ?? torches.

Anybody here remember who the dealer/agent /mfg was perhaps??…
.Otherwise. For a light developer here.

A low power single beam 12v headlight LED car/Motorbike globe.
Driver. head. sw to suit a bike light for us.
18650/26650 Multi Battery pack to give suitable voltage??.

Just a thort…

Try Taping top section and bottom sect of lens. With a protruding lip sticking out at top like a mini sunshade. with slit of light out across the centre line.
MAY… Just give a wider. Flatter, beam. Reflecting OFF that top flap?.
(sunshade/hat visor type thingy.)

Hmmm. And maybe not. Try and see.
