Yes
50°C is about the max for metal to be held, maybe 55°C for those used to heat or “tough” hands, 70°C feels burning hot and might cause burns on skin
One thing you didn’t mention, but is important, is how the lights operate.
The old S70 used to function just like the L6, which is on and off from the tail switch and the side switch changed modes.
The new S70s no longer turns on with the tail switch. It’s more of a lockout now. You turn it on as well as change modes with the side switch.
So for people who are on the fence about which to get, keep that in mind. The L6 has the forward clicky and you can blink it, tactical style. The S70s can’t, but you CAN hold it more comfortably in the middle of the light with one hand and turn it on and off.
So the new user interface has its pro’s and cons.
Oh yeah, the S70s is currently on sale for about $40.
Currently S70 is on a win side: great price, better finnish, better oxidation and it has a carrying strap: something crusial for a light that big
Plus, a spare glass ( other spares too) and a illuminated button, also crusial for a side button based light
The one thing that Thorfire should improove is their customer support- simply there is none.
SImon on the other hand is quite helpful.
The clear L6 looks awful, but thats a matter of personal taste
Agree, for new app users 50% of a Convoy L6 this is could be a hard situation for Simon.
But he has loyal fans and gives great support so I am sure he worries little to none
IDK, been using the app for too long of a time
probably, make AE account -> install app -> login app -> add S70S from this store in cat -> check coupons or when you tap “buy now” check if price is reduced.
Thats the last think L2/L6 should be proud of
After a month in your hands it wont be that lovely, and it will fell of the edges, speaking of personal exp ofc… but yes, at first it looks great
Since i orders hosts alot there was a time last year ( a month or 2) the oxidation was better and a bit different, i dunno why Simon didnt continue using it, my personal C8s and L2 are with that kind and they hold
