Specs:

  • LED: Cree XHP 70.2 4000k
  • Battery: 2x 26650 (not included), Also works with 18650, 21700, and 26800 with adapters.
  • Driver: Convoy 5A amp
  • UI: 4 Modes with strobe shortcut
  • Reflector Type: SMO
  • Thermal Regulation: Supposed to? (Testing didn't seen to show it)

First impressions:
Another hefty light from Convoy. Aggressive design for the heatsinking on the head. This would make a good blunt object weapon haha!

Build:
Some of the thickest threads in the business and they are pretty smooth.
Bypassed springs on both ends, good for high current applications.
Dual switches: Side e-switch for modes and mechanical tailswitch for on/off.

Long Term Usage notes:
This light is the best one I have as far as sustained lumens go. Every time I use this light on turbo, it will stay on turbo and NOT step down at all! It takes a good while to heat up, and it will get pretty warm, but the L6 handles the heat very well. I never felt that it was too hot and step down to High. This is my go to flashlight for long walks at night. As far as things I don't like, The SMO reflector does nothing to hide the typical Cree "greenness" of the XHP series LEDs, there is a distinct green corona inbetween the hotspot and the spill, but it does give you more throw than a OP reflector. I am biased towards OP reflectors anyways, I want all of my lights to have them regardless if they need it or not lol.

Battery:
For this light, I use 2 Vapcell "5900mah" batteries which tested pretty close to 5900mah.
This light will also work with 18650's and 21700's if you get Convoy's o-ring adapters. For 26800s, you have to get 2x 26800 extensions made for the M3, L6, and L7.

Brightness Perf:

  • Low: 15
  • Med: 136
  • High: 1,233
  • Turbo: 3,825* (Batteries may not have been charged all the way, need to do more testing)
  • Max Lumens @30s: 3606
  • Max Sustained Lumens: 3335 (was running pretty hot)

Verdict:
Probably the best value for sustained Lumens. There are also the L7 and L8 and L21 series, but only th L6 and L7 are multicell. The L6 Looks better in my opinion, but the L7 may have even better heatsinking. On the plus side you can get an L6 with a high CRI GT-FC40 LED. Definitely get some 21700 batteries and adapters to go with it since 21700's are the future.

Pros:

  • Turbo sustained output
  • Heavy duty build quality
  • Can take multiple kinds of batteries with adapters (26650, 18650, 21700, 26800)

Cons:

  • Not sure if temperature regulation is present (may be set to a pretty high temp?)
  • Doesn't come with 21700 adapters
  • Sometimes I forget the side switch doesn't turn off the light
  • Some may not like the beam produces by the SMO reflector (you can ask to get a OP reflector instead)
