Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

Keep in mind that this guy’s audience are mainly preppers, so they would naturally look for cell compatibility, and you would most likely find 18650 vs 26650s during doomsday.

The lack of charge port means that if a world-wide EMP hits tomorrow and none of your 20+ chargers works you could still charge the light via USB. Handy right?

Price vs value is no concern because money will be nothing more than paper after the collapse of economic and political system.

A manual is obviously necessary because how else are you going to know the modes and workings? you can’t ask it on BLF, its not like the internet is going to work after a global communication shutdown.

There is also no option for a sharp attack bezel in case you need to stab zombies in their heads.

And where is the strobe for when you need to disorient those invading your underground nuclear shelter for food?

Considering above points the L6 is pretty useless, in the eyes of a prepper.

I know you’re playing devils advocate, but….

You can use 18650 in a 26650 light, but not vice versa. So 26650 actually wins for compatability.

If your chargers are ruined by an emp, why would the one in a light still work?

The L6 needs less explanation than almost any light out there. No half-presses, no ridiculous UI’s. Just one function per button. Obviously this guy figured it out before he even looked for manual. He was just missing the “holy book of marketing mumbo jumbo” that Olight and Thrunite throw in there.

As ridiculous as the zombie comment is, the bezel isn’t even smooth!

It even has a strobe!

Sorry for the rants, I just get tired of people masquerading as experts leading the lemmings off the proverbial cliff into ignorance

I feel the exact same way. That “review” was a joke.

Thoreau said it best: “The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise".

[pilotdog68]

Honestly, I’m very much one of those “fault finders”, so that doesn’t bother me as much. What bothers me more is when you can find flaws in paradise, but somehow not in the slum.

But I digress

Don’t worry, the zombies will only go after people who dislike the L6.

There you go, another project, the making of the best Prepper (Doomsday) Torch? :person_facepalming: :+1:

I just watched that video. Very little meaningful info shared about the L6. A pretty worthless “review” as far as I am concerned. :person_facepalming:

+1 I gave him a thumb’s down for his lousy review.

Black versions cw and nw on sale at gearbest using coupon in gearbests thread. Pretty good deal if you dont have to have the clear color.

No reason to get excited about another review of the Convoy L6 that makes J-Dub74’s review the best I have read.

It is fine to give a ‘thumbs down’ about a review or comment, but I hope not to see people banned for making opposing points of view.

I was banned last week from CandlePowerForum for expressing a point of view and not willing to ‘sit on my hands’ and not post.

The exchange of differnt points of view is what in the end makes for a better informed understanding.

So I had to watch that review after all the comments here. I have nothing against that guy as I really don’t know him or anything he’s about but it’s obvious that he knows very little about flashlights and his review was inaccurate and not in any way helpful even to preppers.

It was mildly annoying to hear someone speaking negative about the L6 and it’s a shame if people are relying on that guy to help them through the zombie apocalypse. :person_facepalming:
For that matter in the insane situation where I actually need to use a flashlight as a weapon, the L6 “Zombie-Skull-Crusher” is going to be the FIRST light I grab.

A built-in charging port is the standard by which a flashlights usefulness is judged? Really?

Who needs a manual for a light that has 4 modes? If you can’t figure out the UI on the L6 just put it down because you probably shouldn’t be using things or stuff.

Thank you PD and others for sticking up for Convoy. :+1:

CandlePowerForum is run by communist’s. It’s their way, or the highway, just like an unnamed group of people here in the USA, if you know what I mean.

I would write that the running of CPF is an example Totalitarianism an even darker way to control.

+1 I made a comment saying “It’s a basic UI” who needs a manual? Seriously, it took me 3 seconds to figure out how the L6 worked

I agree.

I stopped watching when I got to the bit about 26650s. I just knew what else was there (or not) and I wasn’t going to waste more time on him. Yeah, he doesn’t get it.

If the reviewer in question is an example of ‘Prepping’, he or she will be faced with the dilemma of collapse where there will be no manuals at all.

… I’m not really overly “excited”, but like others have said also; it would have been nice if he had just reviewed the flashlight.

I mean give me a break…. no matter what light you buy you have to have batteries for it, that is a no brainer to most people.
And yeah, should you not have a charger that will charge said batteries; you’ll need one.

But to make those two opinions of his, along with the absence of “on board” charging; the negatives that caused him not to recommend the light is somewhat weak to my way of thinking.
Personally, if this light did have the “on board” charging; it would be much, much less attractive to me. In fact I would have probably passed on it all together. BUT, that is a personal preference of mine. I do not really like “on board” charging…. especially in a light this size.

In other words…… review the light.

(Oh yeah, “on board” is my “pet peeve name” for USB charging, or whatever it is called.) :smiling_imp:

Yep, he’s clueless about our hobby. His inexperienced subscribers should stay away from any flashlight using Lithium-ion batteries. They’re the one’s who end up burning their houses down.
