Mountain has a good option as mentioned above and I think Texas_Ace said he’s got a 30mm Texas Avenger series driver ready to drop in as a stock L6 swap. I believe it’s running on Bistro but I think he tweaked it for the dual switch setup or maybe TK tweaked it? Either way it sounds like all that and a bag of chips and I’m looking forward to hearing some reports. I love Bistro. Somewhere I thought I heard about Narsil being an option on the Texas avenger too which would be another cool way to go. Answers to all my speculation are probably in his driver thread here. I don’t have enough time to do all the reading but somebody should!
I just looked at my tailcap switch on my L6. The switch is soldered on a board. From the looks of the spare switch posted above ,and the one on Simon’s site, I think those switch lugs will need to be trimmed for proper placement on board ?
Also, do I read right on Simon’s site that there are 10 switches per order for $3.50? Or is that the price for ONE switch? Dang Ali Express layouts.
Finally got to try it out during a trip exploring some old mines and it was great! No worries for short runtimes or heat when lighting the whole place up.
Thinking of getting a second (clear) light with warm tint, if they ever get available again.
The L6 handles the heat amazingly well. Even modded it still handles the heat quite well.
That said the S70 does have a bit more mass and as such handles the heat a bit better but the donut hole in the beam kinda ruins it IMHO when compared to the L6.
Just received black one N4 5000k from gearbest. Not sure which bin i got, the tint is more like greenish rather than fade golden. I’m not expected the anodization to be different from the L4, of which, has glossy n little bit marble smooth surface. This one is matte n not slippery smooth surface.
Oh, pair it with efest IMR Purple 5200, the length sit slightly below the tube.
Can’t say. Check simon alie page, there is also no bin or temp in the description.
On the high and turbo, the tint is better to eye. More yellow can be seen.
Anyway really like the light. Awesome bright, no step down and no so much heat issue in tropical country.
Simons ali page gives you the choice of n4 6000k or n2 5000k. He had a small number of n4 5000k when the L6 was first released. I was too late to order one.
Gearbest did mislabel it. I notified them but they apparently never changed it. Simon never offered an N4 in a 5000K tint.
The L6 in 5000K is an N2 but it’s quite nice IMO. The only N4 he’s ever offered in the L6 are the 6000K (CW) and the 5700K. The 5700K have been out of stock for a long time. I wanted that one too. Simon has been trying for many months but still cannot source any more of the other tints or high CRI XHP70. He’s been trying though and will keep trying…
