Ah, but, before y’all go and get all excited about your dreamed up visions becoming reality please remember that Convoy is a small company with limited resources for developing driver technology. What may seem simple to us, with DEL and MEM and TK on our side, is simply not feasible to Simon. We can dream up all kinds of possibilities, that doesn’t mean he’ll be able to implement any of them. Convoy makes great lights, Simon is a perfectionist and a flashlight enthusiast himself, if he can he will, but don’t expect him to be able to work miracles as he simply doesn’t have the manpower to pull off what some of the large companies have been doing lately.

I’m sure he’s already working on what he can do, there’s a new C8+ just announced for example.

It’s so easy for someone to announce “new edition type L6” but it has no merit.

Hm weird i dont get it, if there is help in getting good drivers in a flashlight from experts in here why not use it? i understand u cant compared them to the larger companies but i dont think anyone in here does that. I agree that i would be interesting to know if something brighter then l6 will see the day of light someday? i dont know how much work had to be done to start the development of the l6 for example before it was posted here?

I would be interested in a maglite sized light (2 or 3 x 26650) with a ramping UI.I’m not too concerned with it being super bright but a long runtime would be good.

Please,don’t misunderstand me,the thread i’ve opened is just a “speaking out loud”, but was wondering if there were many more just like me, and i never said that Simon needs to be the one to improve the L6, but before upgrading a realatively medium head with more power,i would like a totally improved head ,bigger 50% maybe and tuned up with 3x26650 - maybe a poll wouldn’t be to bad

Of course ,rexhargeable would be a “Yami” ,oriented for so many household that no want complication of external chargers

JasonWW · 2018-06-12T11:05:10.000Z

I like the physical size of the L6 just as it is. Maybe update to 70.2, SMO and higher amp driver?

Make the light turn on/off from side switch. This makes it easier to control.

Lighted side switch is also easy to do.

That raw finished L2 prototype is awesome. I’d like to see the L6 use that. I’d definitely buy that even if everything else inside was old. I would just mod it up. Lol

You can’t do that when you have 2 batteries in series. :cry:

He should make it a L6+,

70.2 atleast 5000 lumens and more
SMO
higher amp driver
lighted side switch
=profit.

I like the idea of more batteries, but not the length. I would like to see the tin can concept with 4 x 18650 like the M6, a large heatsink and a target of 8000 lumens.

If you change it radically it becomes a different light.

What your describing sounds like the Astrolux MF02S or any number of similar lights.

It comming here Sofirn SP70 Alone $50, PM for AMZ US CODE(LIMITED)

No, that is the competition. It’s a different company from Convoy.

Sofirn is making a similar style light to the S70 and L6. This thread is about Convoy, isn’t it? Maybe I misunderstood.

Satan · 2018-08-08T09:50:42.000Z

I think we can only hope for new color from Convoy so better looking for others LOL.

I personally wouldn’t be too interested in a fatter-head L6, or a 3-cell L6. There’s several larger-head lights already on the market, and I kinda think the current L6 host is about perfect, really well balanced and a great size for a car/nightstand/front door light. In fact mine lives by the front door. And several (many?) of us have already made some of the mods y’all are suggesting too — mine’s an XHP70.2 with a 3-channel TA driver with a version of NarsilM I customized for better turn-on control (tail switch power comes on in high unless you’re holding the side switch - then it comes on in moonlight). Zener mod for 2x26650 power. Its a great light, and if Convoy offered that for those who don’t want to build it themselves, you should all jump on it. Or just buy an L6 and build it yourself.

Larger head for triple 6V xhp50.2 with larger heat sink

3S 26650, buck driver

3000+ continuous lumens??

For me, an additional 65mm in tube length would not hinder my ability to hold, maneuver, or store an L6 style light… and would balance nicely with a larger head.

Actually, if the Sofirn SP70 does well, they may do a triple 70.2 version. It’s head is already going to be 15mm bigger than the L6 and S70. I doubt it will be 3 x 26650, though. Who knows, it’s a ways off anyway.

kntx · 2018-08-11T14:41:45.000Z

3x xhp70II would mean less throw,more heat, more money - hmm i wish sofirn would stay to a nice xhp70II thrower ,15mm larger head would be ok,but deeper reflector could be interesting for a very good thrower

All I want is same color like this 3 lights I have, Sand. I just want to match this 3
