I understand that. See the context of what I quoted in reply to.

Well, we don’t drive flashlights! So, am I wrong in assuming a shorted new chemistry battery can still explode, or do they just vent instead?

Todays Lithium chemistry is supposed to be safer than eras before. I am skeptical of this though with the recent samsung Galaxy Note 7 fires. AFIAK they still have not officially released the findings from their root cause investigation.

In terms of flashlights when a venting battery is contained in a sealed enclosure its the enclosure that can suddenly burst with “explosive” levels of force as the rapidly expanding gasses are released. So even though it may not be venting fire and flames, its still a very dangerous situation with potentially airborne shards of glass and various pieces of aluminum being hurdled everywhere.

Here’s why the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 batteries caught fire and exploded | TechRadar

Those are a different technology and setup then the cylindrical batteries we use.

For a nice quality 26650 light, Lumintop SD26 on a deal is great 26650 compact light. I paid $40. Rated at 1,000 lumens, but I got ~1,080. 5 nicely spaced modes, memory, but fairly simple UI. Springs at both ends.

Interesting … banggood lists two more tint options: N2-7A and N4-5C. Does the tint correspond to XML 7A/5C? That would be awesome

Simon does it again! The new emitter choices are listed. Not just one additional choice but FIVE choices of XHP70 emitters from warm to cool. I understand some of these have higher output than others so do a little research before making your selection. The price now ranges from $65.09 to $70.09 depending which emitter you choose.

These are the emitter choices now available:

N2-7C (3000K)
N2-5A (4000K)
N2-3A (5000K)
N4-2A (5700K)
N4-1C (6000K)

I must admit im the luckiest guy on this forum.

My first L6 had faulty driver which never work so i video and contact gearbest customer service then agreed to partially refund as i can replace the driver but the driver i order from Simon is yet to arrive.

Then I ordered another L6 a week later because of coupon deal then the light arrived today but it had faulty driver too.

Bloody hell dont they test their product before shipping? Im sick of contacting Gearbest customer service and It’s a waste of time.

[mk96]

I will see when mine arrives Got the same silver L6 as you.

[Texas_Ace]

What was wrong with the driver exactly?

[Nicolicous]

nothing turn on.

I did try many methods to make sure the contacts are good but still wont turn on.

[Texas_Ace]

Have you tried using a piece of wire to manually short the tailcap end of the batteries to the body? Could be the tailcap and not the driver.

[Nicolicous]

tried that too

it’s no good

[Texas_Ace]

Very odd indeed, I assume that the retaining ring on the driver is tight?

Are they coming that way to you with the white boots on them?

yep. I have not change anything.

all rings are tight too

[giorgoskok]

What batteries do you use ? Does the 2nd cell make contact with the first one ?

Weird I have had at least 10 of them from Simon and they all came with the Black boots installed and the white ones in the goodie bag!

Cheers! Thought they were a limited run, so glad to see them back again. ~3000 ridiculously warm lumen should be fun

[Speed4goal]

Does the clear ones have that ring by the tailcap? I know the black ones people had problem getting them on when that ring wasn’t screwed completley and others had to. Remove it to make good contact

[ZozzV6]

You always have to remoce the simple ring before installing tactical one.

[kuoh]

The clear L6 I got from GB almost 2 months ago had the white boot installed. Luckily mine seems to work without issue.
