Very relevant question: does anybody know of a store that would sell the L6 plus two good 26650s, and ship it (not within the US) with the cells inside the torch? Seems like it’s the only way I can get one without paying over 60 dollars for shipping because of li-ion battery restrictions, since nobody ships them by boat :cry:
Just received my brand new Convoy L6 a few minutes ago. From China to my door in 4 days! Great job GB !!!
5000K version
Very high quality look and feel. The Convoy brand name is indeed on the light below the side button.
1lb 10oz or 725grams (with 2 x 3500mAh batteries)…enough weight be a defensive weapon.
A bit big and heavy to pocket carry. Would love a holster for it tho.
Beautiful light, well balanced……so far ecstatic that I bought it.
The output is indeed intense. Not a thrower imo…more like a very good flood light with about a 150-200m useable range?
For walking in a dark area this will definitely bring daylight to your immediate surroundings and ahead a bit.
It would probably light up a cave nicely or a forest. Brighter than most car headlights by a good bit I’d say.
There is a smooth reflector available for it and I wonder how that changes the beam? I would guess more toward throw.
A nice heavy lanyard for it is the only thing I’d like to add. Anyone know where to get the perfect lanyard for the L6?
If you want LOTS of light in your immediate area and ahead a few hundred feet, this is an excellent choice.
Wondering how you got the light today when the Post Office is closed, any expedited shipping from UPS or FEDEx would be expected to be quicker, so the congrats to Gear Best for a ~7 day turnaround seems odd. Just saying…
Yep, the L6 is a great all purpose light, probably the best bang for the buck available today. The smooth reflector is really a no-go with the stock emitter, it’s intended for modders who want to change emitters to something that will throw and needs the mirror finish. That said, the stock orange peel reflector goes perfectly with the XHP-70 and output is really up there. A simple resistor mod really makes it purr!
I’ve used DHL several times from GB. If your order total is high enough ($75-$100?), it’s “free”. Once it’s in DHL’s hands, it’s 3 days from China to my front door every time (well, the 5-10 times I’ve used them).
I’ll buy 3x B158s or 15x Lii-100s and I’ll qualify for free DHL.
Yeah, I’ll buy way more than I need just to get that sweet, sweet DHL. It’s like a drug. Once you’ve experienced China to door in 3 days, it’s hard to go back.
My L6 at the moment is resistor modded (stacked .120Ω) and with sliced dome N4 bin XHP70, i am gettin 96000cd or 619m throw with about 4100lm output. Those numbers are not bad at all, but i want more throw without loosing to much lumens, i would prefer to stay at over 3k lumens. I was thinking about XHP50.2 with sliced dome…
Does anyone have numbers from xhp50 led in the L6 so i can see what i can expect from this led and if its possible to gain 50% intensity compared to the XHP70.
Matt at ASF got 164,000cd from his L6 with R120 resistor, SMO reflector, shaved dome and a tweaked reflector height. He’s got a video on YouTube of the mods.
I’m sure others have done the xhp50, I’d like to here from them as well. Have you seen the L6 and L2 modifications thread? There is a lot of talk of emitter swaps.
