In this video, I demonstrate some long range beam shots of the Convoy L8.

This light reaches further than any of my other lights and is incredible - it's a searchlight that fits in your pocket!

The L8 is a monster 6400-lumen thrower featuring an SBT90.2 emitter. The construction and anodising are among the best I've seen in any high-quality flashlight.

Convoy L8
Length: 191mm
Head diameter: 81mm
Body diameter: 35.5mm
Weight with 26800 battery: 583 grams

The L8 throws up to 1.5km on turbo and does so with ZERO noise - due to the intricately cut cooling fins that maximise surface area. The light features temperature regulation which lowers the output over time to protect the electronics from damage. I took this light around to the outskirts of the city and it was lighting up the apartment blocks over 1km away.

Impressively, the L8 is budget-friendly and is priced between $80-90 in Convoy's AliExpress store. Simon Mao from Convoy has been running his company for over 10 years and has a legendary status in the flashlight community.

One thing I found amazing is that the Convoy L8 throws further than my Imalent MR90 (also contains the SBT90.2 LED). The MR90 is noisy on turbo due to its active cooling fans. It's also twice as heavy! I paid over $500 for the MR90 (5x the price of the L8).

My flashlight kit came with an included 26800 cell and USB-C charging cable. You can purchase this light with or without the battery, but I suggest you get it with the battery as there are shortages of the 26800 battery in the market currently.

The L8 comes with a few interesting functions including a mode that measures battery voltage, as well as a turbo tactical mode (unusual for a side switch flashlight). You have the option to switch from smooth to stepped ramping. Thankfully, the L8 also comes with a lockout mode - important for high-powered flashlights. You can also mechanically lock out the light by unscrewing the tail cap a 1/8th turn.

I'm glad that this light came with a 'low' mode of 30 lumens. Normally, these high-powered flashlights are too bright to use even in low mode. So it's nice to know you won't blind yourself if you need to use this light around the house or in the backyard.

This is the best value SBT90.2 thrower out there and you'll won't be able to find anything around this price range with the same features and build quality.

If you have any questions about this light or feedback, let me know in the comments below and I'll get back to you.
