Convoy L6 Flashlight: A Merry Christmas Flashlight Review!

The Convoy L6 flashlight is a Cree XHP70 emitter flashlight that uses two 26650 cells. There’s a side e-switch for control. Read on!

Addendum Review

For most of the info, as I said above, please see the original review.

Package and Manual

The package on the Clear version is the same, but the contents are much more robust in the clear vs the black I had. The clear includes an extra switch mechanism, two boots (one for each switch), a lanyard, two spare o-rings, and a tactical ring.

Build Quality, Disassembly, and Durability

These three items are all the same as before, except for the obvious one: finish.

Man, MAN oh man, this finish is just spectacular. I like it MUCH more than the black finish, which in my experience (with the Convoy C8, not the L6), doesn’t last all that well on sharp corners and such. This is actually a finish of some sort, though what is still being decided…. It’s not just bare aluminum. But wow, it is great to handle and use!!

The clear C8 has the same finish, for what it’s worth. It’s an absolutely great finish, and very smooth to the touch.

The buttons on the Clear L6 are also white/translucent. But they are not lit buttons. Maybe they could be, but they do not come that way stock. Still, it’s a nice touch, and worth noting.

Beamshots

These beamshots always have the following settings:  f8, ISO100, 0.3s shutter, and manual 5000K exposure. These photos are taken at floor level, and the beam hits the ceiling around 9 feet away.

Tint vs BLF-348 (KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b version) (affiliate link)

I keep the test flashlight on the left and the BLF-348 reference flashlight on the right.

(On the right above in the tint comparison shot is the BLF-348.)

Final Thoughts

I really love the finish on this light. And if I’m being 100% honest, I find something like the L6 fairly more practical than the can lights that are so popular right now.

Seriously, I can’t say enough about the finish on this light.
