Got mine today, not as big as i thought maybe i just have a big hand compared to the one in the first post.
Looks like it has a nice chunky hotspot.
I also got mine today. 4000k version. Nice tint. Quite compact.
Nice that it’s available in a variety of tints. Other 70.2 lights I’ve been interested in seem to only come in CW.
I’d like to see it side-by-side with a C8-sized light.
Doesn’t seem to get that hot on the highest setting either.
Any pictures?
Ah, so it doesn’t look nearly as bad on the hand as I thought at first. TYVM.
(EDIT 27/05: Directly added images.)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this appears to be the first Convoy flashlight I’ve seen with a modern type of driver:
- Click and hold from off to enter 1% mode.
- Double click from off to enter 100% mode.
- Short click turns it on or off into mode memory.
- Click and hold to cycle modes.
- Overheat protection dims the output to prevent it getting too hot.
It has an XHP 70.2 emitter available in 3000K, 4000K, 5000K or 6500K. Single cell makes it logistically easier to find a suitable battery and safer than the L6. The large head means it can still dissipate heat well.
I do wish the button were more recessed. The manufacturer shouldn’t feel the need to say in the product description for a brand new product, “if you carry the flashlight in the bag, please loosen the flashlight tail a half turn to avoid accidental lighting.” That should simply have been addressed in the design phase.
Seems like overall it’s going to be a winner, though. That emitter is a beast and it seems to be well implemented here. The price point is also very nice. I can see myself ordering two or three of them with my next order from Convoy.
Since it’s an e-switch I think it should have 4 clicks from off to lock out. In case we want to “carry the flashlight in the bag”
Convoy M3 driver problem. - YouTube. Tried a new switch. Now it works.
Tried that on my M3 and it’s fine, could just be that M3 is faulty.
To me it looks like a button problem.
If I press the button continuously, mine also is switching modes. Otherwise I am not able to repeat the behaviour.
Thanks RelakS. It was the switch. Had a spare L6 Driver and switch. Installed new switch and now works great. Thank you!
Thermal control steps down from hi in 1 minute 50 seconds. Just slightly warm.
Thanks for the pictures. The 1st one must have had tiny hands. I wasn’t buying one because it looked to big, but now probably.
Anybody know the brightness, in lumens or percent of maximum, of each mode? Might be interesting to know the brightness that it steps down to.
You are welcome 
Thermal control looks diligent in my flashlight too, but if I turn to max for a second ride, it goes hot quickly. In my case it may not run for a minute, but I purposely grabbed the heatsink part, which hopefully sped up things.
Actually, I would prefer some active thermal control, which slowly dims the light if too hot, and gives back some intensity, if it cooled down enough.
I will check with a fan, if the step down time will be longer.
9/450/1300/3500
My unit stepdowns from 3500 to 1300 in around 1 minute and a half. If I try to go back to turbo it stepdowns again in 30 seconds, thermal control seems to be too conservative
Either tiny hands or the camera was wide lens and set very close to the torch. The plant in the background only distorts perspective further.
That’s a pretty radical mode distribution. Too bad there isn’t an 80-100lm mode inbetween 9 and 450, I’d actually go for it if there was.
