Spark has released SL6S which is simplified version of SL6.
SL6S keeps all the main features of SL6, but removed the tailcap switch and inner tube.


I received a SL6S-740NW and it comes with a holster, two extra o-rings, a diffuser and a user manual.
.

The shape of SL6S-740NW is quite same as SL6-740NW except the tailcap.
.

Left is SL6 and Right SL6S.
The inner tube and tailcap switch are removed. The very early SL6 version has an issue with a fat
protected 18650 cells and tailcap switch doesn't work.
There is no such issue on my SL6S.
.

SL6S(right) has no outer spring due to removal of the inner tube & tailcap switch.
.

SL6(left) has a switch, but SL6S has no one. It can tailstand perfectly.
.

SL6(Left) looks nicer than SL6S to me. It seems SL6S has a tailcap switch though.
SL6 has only one small hole for lanyard and SL6S has four.
.

The clip of SL6S(right) looks better than SL6, and has clean surface.
.

I have tested with several batteries on super mode.
- Surefire 2xCR123A
- Unprotected flat-top LG 18650(2600, 2800, 3000mAh)
- Unprotected flat-top Panasonic 18650(3100mAh)
- Protected button-top Jil Lite 18650(2600mAh)
- Protected buttton-top NLTEC 18650(2600mAh)

All batteries work fine on super mode except Jil Lite 18650 cell.
It can't access to the super mode due to the very high discharge ratio. I think its PCM works.
