welcome back adventures being the flash light industry a question I see a lot is
what is the very brightest or the best flashlight that i can get for under a
hundred bucks and today I'm going to show you a life that I think fits in
that category perfectly
introducing the convoy l6 flashlight looking down the barrel we've got Cree
XHP 70 an orange peel reflector anti-reflective coated lens and one of
the most excellent finishes I've ever seen
it's a nice matte finish and it feels sticky in your hands and i love the way
that it looks
this light is a dual switch light it has a tail switch for on off and a nice
which at the front to change the modes
there's really not enough I can say about the quality of the convoy l6 flashlight
the machining on it is absolutely amazing
it's just as good as anything you can find made right here in the US
it is fantastic and another thing that I really like about it is how smooth the
threads on the tailcap are all of the threading on this it's not gritty or
grimy it just it's smooth as glass
it's got a nice look to it and it's actually a pretty light feel for how
much power is in it and it is a 3800 lumen rated flashlight and the awesome
thing about that is it's not just rated it that it actually does that I have to
back them up on this I tested this particular Convoy l6 and i got around 3,500
using my setup and that's that's a little bit under what what it's rated
but that's a very very close number and you can get a fluctuation like that
despite going from one emitter and have been to another so I'm i really have to
stand behind what they say there are no
bridges on that it's a 2x 26650 powered light and I am I found that I can fit
the 5200 milliamp keep our protected cells and they're just fine
they'll screw down I've got a spring in there and it will screw down the tail
cap and everything with that
another feature about this life that i like is it does come with a lanyard ring
and the ring is removable and what you need to do it took me about to actually
ask about this i tried putting it on there and screw the cap on and do more
so i'm going to show you a little magic trick here and that's this isn't one
piece there's actually a ring to cover those threads so if you want to put your
lanyard ring on
just pop that off of there and then this will screw on and you've got that not
only the more aggressive look at a place to hook the lanyard if you want the way
this light operates is you click the switch for power on and then when you
want to adjust the mode
it's 1234 mode and it also has a hidden strobe function if you double click the
switch fast you get your strobe 1-click goes back to that and because it's a
dual switch when you shut this off no matter which mode you're in here last
time when you come back to it you'll still be in that high mode or in that
moon life so if you are the kind of person doesn't like your night vision
wreck you can put it on moonlight you know it always come on moonlight or if
you are in a tactical situation and you want to blogging somebody you want to
make sure your light always comes on and high it will do that for you
the beam quality on the convoy l6 is excellent, that orange peel reflector
really takes care of the four die split that you find it
and some lights that use this emitter it's really a good quality it's smooth
it's got a tight hot spot
super-bright spill now one more thing I want to mention about the quality of
this it can be hard to tell on camera but there are no markings or anything on
this and if somebody had just handed me this flashlight if I didn't know
anything about it
if somebody had just handed me this light and said that
what do you think this light would cost to purchase now I do this every day this
is my my job
I handle a lot of flashlights maybe not as many as some but I see a lot of
lights and some of them are very expensive and some are very cheap but if
somebody had handed me this light
I would have honestly said I think this light would come in at around two
hundred and twenty two three hundred dollars that is really the impression I
get from the feel
from the look from the way it functions
you know I mean there's a lot of attention to detail from the AR code
lens that i mentioned before to the way the user interface works and then back
to that amazing fish
I really would have said that's that's what i thought the price of this was
and the truth is it not only comes in at its not 200
it's not a hundred and fifty it's not even a hundred dollars that the retail
on this light is around seventy dollars and it comes in a cool white which mine
is and you can also get it in a neutral and I just can't say enough about the
quality and the build this light it rivals the much more expensive brands in
the industry in my opinion the iso and my camera can't be fixed in movie mode
so i decided to do the beam shots with stills because it gives a more accurate
comparison here's the convoy L6 on
low medium high and turbo and here's a shot comparing my surefire in six which
is a similar size and quality light to the convoy l6 side by side
I hope that you enjoyed this video if you'd like to have a 3800 lumen convoy
L6 of your own i'll put a link in the description where you can get one if
you know anybody else who you think might like a light like this
