I also recently got a clear L6 from Banggood that was supposed to be the cool white tint, but had the warmer tint. It’s all good though since I already had another L6 with the cool white tint. Kinda nice to have both tints now.
CoolJB, I guess you liked it enough to order two L6's like I did lol. If my Banggood one also comes with the warmer tint, I'll be ok as I ordered the cooler emitter from Simon, so one way or another, I will be getting it!
Well I already placed an order with Simon over a week ago. I guess the shipping route this time of year is brutal!
I ordered the L6 host, so I’ll see how it performs and give feedback when I get it all together! Going to be using some KeepPower 26650’s with protected cells, as I feel a little better when using them in series!
If they fit inside the charger you can charge them. Should fit so yes.
There should be a link to banggood with a great deal on 26650’s. Maybe in the first post?
The L6 has low voltage warning & protection so personally I can see no need for protected cells in this light which increases your options (apparently Simon Convoy recommends protected cells because non flashoholics can purchase the light).
These are currently considered the best performing, & coincidentally the cheapest, 26650”s currently available http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_360841.html?wid=21
or 4 of them http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_360842.html?wid=21
Thread about them here LiitoKala 26650-50A 5000mah 26650 - great first impressions
You may have to use a spacer (magnet, solder blob or Jaxman connector) to get them to make contact in series although mine make contact without (as some other posters have found).
It will be interesting to see if you even get the batteries. I haven’t been able to get them to ship me batteries even from their Los Angeles warehouse. They just send a letter saying they can’t ship batteries to the US and offer GB points or a refund.
Maybe your batteries will ship with them installed in the light with protective caps on the cells.
Hmmm. I ordered a set of 30Qs which disappeared, apparently “delivered” acto the tracking info. Ordered a replacement set on my own while I was duking it out with GB to make good on the tracking and “insurance” (which was apparently worthless). I did get the replacement set no problem (US warehouse, though), and eventually (after threatening to just have the charges reversed and be done with it) got a refund on the original/lost set.
So I know that at least from the US warehouse, you’ll probably get the cells.
I heard that gearbest was shipping batteries that were not properly declared and they ended up losing their shipper. Now they have to declare them with their new shipper and prices for shipping batteries is now Sky High.
I always try to get batteries from the US (if your in the US). Either Mountain Electronics or Illumn.
