damn you… this one is one of my favorite light ( I bought 4 of them already and sold it ) I already ordered another one from Wallbuys.
shoot… I was trying to stop buying flashlights for awhile as I have about another dozen coming sometimes this week from China
just ordered 6 more Solar Storm SC-03 for friends and family… now my finger is itchy again to pull the trigger on this wonderful light, especially now for lower price from Banggood :weary:
aaargh… I need help :bigsmile:
btw: you can ask Tom E to make this light even sweeter… he can pump out 1700+ lumens out of this light
Ever since I missed out on that Warsun MX-900 deal I reposted a few days ago, I have been having "Non-Buyers remorse" and haven't been able to sleep good at night ever since.
Anyways, since I don't have any C8 lights (hate the way they look honestly), I figure it's about time I get something similiar, but very nice on the eyes. Plus, I am a side-switch flashlight junkie. I honestly prefer them any day over rear switch. Seems this L4 is the best of both worlds!
How can I mod it to push 1700 lumens? I found the thread where DBCstm got 1642 lumens, but then the side switch doesn't work anymore :(
I would love to make this thing push 1700 lumens, with the side switch still functional :)
Then again, do I really need to mod this light? Ok maybe try at least, like the others!
Show me the way DayLighter!
Plus man, with the tiny amount of lights you have, how can you pass up a good deal like this?
I think I will have to pull the trigger on this one, too nice a light :heart_eyes:
Is there a similar double-switch flashlight in a more pocketable form factor, but still 1x18650? I’m looking for something to get along with this one that sports the same nice UI (which makes momentary-on possible) but smaller, in the same premium-budget category.
Thats a pretty good question. I myself would love a mini version of this Convoy L4 as well. One thing I really look for when buying is the quality of the build. Maybe some BLF gurus can chime in and lets us know of a 'Mini Convoy L4 version, that takes 18650"?
The Yezl Y3 will cure that.
Long thread about it here.
Mine is the best thrower I have with a very well regulated driver. I get the same light output with 1,2, or 3 26650. Haven’t modded it yet. Might become an Mt_g2 light.
3* looks like snow white (or “pure” white) and is ok for general use, where cool white in the 1* or 0* range look blueish or purplish, but 4* and 5* range are warmer and somewhat “vanilla-ish” (lol) which is pleasant and a very noticeably warmer than cool white LEDs, it renders skin tones and foliage better and gives greater depth perception, at the expense of very little luminosity.
I ordered mine on April 4 and is on it’s way from BG. It seems that they bumped up the price and give you the 28% discount. I used the same code and it worked out to be the same price.
It is too bad that I missed Simon’s promo for the L4 for $5.
I wonder exactly how warm the T6-4C is. I actually like the tint of my SRK T6 when I was comparing it with one of my XM-L2 U2-1A flashlights. Was putting both at a bush last night, and the SRK has noticeably better looking colors. I do know that I bought some high CRI XM-L2's a while back and man is the warm color uglyyyyy. I'm definitely more of a cool white/neutral white person
4c will be a neutral tint. I’ve got a few 3c lights and they are okay. I tend to prefer pure cool white 1A and mostly stay away from 5+. A good 1A has no bluish or purple hue to it, just cool pure white awesomeness.
Where you tend to see cool white with purple/blue hue is in cheapo budget lights where they use cheap emitters to save on costs.
There are a lot of pics showing beamshots of different tints; don’t have time to look em’ up though, sorry.
