Tonight we had a mains power fail, nothing major, just for about 25 mins. We had a few guests at the time and it was dark outside. As the “torch guy” I was able to provide some illumination for our guests- a few AA, AAA lights and one 26650. The one that just amazed folks was the Convoy L6 that lit the living room on ceiling bounce alone- not even on full power.
Once power was reinstated we took the L6 outside and even I was amazed at just how much light this thing kicks out. Its not just a floodlight, this thing throws daylight a long way!
One guest wants to buy one tonight!
I’ve had the L6 for a while, but its not got much use, as I use AA nichia modded lights for work, and dont have much need for it but Im glad I had the L6 tonight
I really like my L6 also and it does make a lot of light , but when I truly want “daylight” in the palm of my hand I reach for the Olight X7 Marauder. (tested out at 9402 lumens)
Wow, around here peopl ask already, did you recognice that power shortage? It was about 1/2 second I’d guess?
The computers were still running.
Didn’t have a real blackout since I travelled to Thailand some years ago.
Maybe the power grid’s a bit more stable in Germany and Switzerland than at other places so if it happens it would hit us harder as we’re not used to it.
