(Another) Convoy L6 Full Video Review: Runtimes, Beamshots, Output Figures

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Hey guys… looks like approximately half of the flashlight community already has this flashlight, and half of those have reviewed this. But here’s mine- which Gear Best sent me for review. While it’s true there are a ton of cheap bright lights on eBay, none can beat this quality for this price. Probably the nicest high lumen light, per dollar that you can get- not counting the M6 from Mountain Electronics. While I did not get the 3800 lumen output listed, I did get a very respectible 3200ish. All of my other lights that put out this much light hover near $100 or more. About the only thing I’d like to put on a wishlist are spare o-rings, and a .5-1 lumen mode. The user interface is great, the tint it nice, the anodization is killer… It really has it all. The light is pretty big though. In this review I do beamshots between a lot of other big lights, and two runtime tests.

Anyway, without further ado.

And here is the link they sent me to use. It’s not an affiliate link, but I guess it links it to my BLF user name: http://goo.gl/omS2Ys

Thanks man!

Thank you for the review and I ordered this flashlight on July 9th.

Battery length, the positive terminal making contact with another cell when in series, and using ‘protected’ batteries should be a consideration in using this flashlight.

Great little review. In your finish credits, you show emitter N4 5000K.

Did GearBest send you that particular setup or should it be N2 3A 5000K?

I just wasn’t aware if there was an N4 5000K available except from Simon.

Great review.

what kind of mods would this like take?

i love your videos!

thanks for the hard work

I assume after listening to one of your comments that this light was designed after your good self. Large and bright. :wink: Thanks for the review.

You should have you own professional review show! Why?
Because you are the man!! Yes that’s right!

10

Huh. It literally says N4 on the product page and the link they sent me. Check it out.

So I really can’t say for sure, other than it’s definetly not a cool white, and I’d say 5000k is about right… maybe a touch warmer.

11

OK…so it’s a bin brighter than N2 5000K. :+1:

ETA: label on brown box should agree.

12

thanks for the enjoyable review

IIRC the 5000K version has a N2 bin, because that was the only version of the neutral tint of the Xhp 70 Simon could get. I think GearBest got it wrong in their description.

Great video review as always!

15

Correction, I was wrong. It was N4 2A 5700K he was offering which is now not available on Simon’s site

16

Yes… I made sure I emphasized that in the review. It seems most people are out of the protected cells that this light can take right now. Thanks!

I am the wrong guy to ask about that. I don’t do a lot of modification, but there is a big running thread about this light that may have some info.

Thanks man!

Ha! That’s how I like them!

I’ll take it! Maybe I could split the work up between interns! Thanks!

Sound about right then… thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

You do good work on the vids. They are easy to watch and enjoyable.

Thanks

Great review! I left a comment on your youtube channel.

Thanks… I’ve been putting a lot of hours in on them lately. I can’t wait to work through them and get a break!

Thanks!
