I would say that pic accurately represents the output of the L6 if you are in pitch black woods. It really is astounding. :thumbsup:
^ glad that my photo influenced your purchase. Hope you enjoy your L6 !
After recently purchasing this light, I was really amazed that you can have big light in a price that is pocket friendly.
This light is a flooder, so does its job well! (Though it also throws reasonably well just through brute force).Isn't that too much too close? I'd prefer less spill, more throw.
Cool, please show us a beam shot if you get the chance.Late to the party here but just ordered smooth reflector to see how it affects throw.
You have to modify the smooth reflector - Mountain Electronics (mtnelectronics.com) tells how:Hello. Sorry for delay. Ordered reflector from Ebay merchant/China, long wait. Pluses: well made, good fit and quality. As for beam forget it. Dark center, rings, loss of throw, really ugly result. Stock reflector is the way to go I guess unless you are talented enough to reposition the emitter. I have it if ne1 wants it

This smooth reflector along with a dedomed emitter or XP-L HI is what you need to build an L6 "thrower". Warning: without modifying the reflector base, you will be disappointed in the resulting beam. A good beam can be achieved with this reflector, but it requires some work and tuning.
Here are my steps to achieving good focus with this reflector using a domeless emitter:
1> Ensure that your solder joints are flat and smooth. You need a flat surface so that the reflector can sit down as far as possible. Use 22 AWG wire (18 AWG is too large to get flat enough).
2> Discard the white XHP70 centering ring and instead just use a flat plastic insulating gasket like this one.
3> Sand the central raised portion off of the rear of the reflector. Then evenly sand the rest of the reflector base to approximtely 50% of its original thickness.
Can you provide an example of your pocket carry?
I think he is saying the price of the light is pocket friendly(not outrageously expensive), not that the light is pocket carry friendly.
Forward.Seriously considering picking up one of these.
I've seen conflicting descriptions... is the tailcap reverse or forward clickie?
