Clear anodized Convoy S2+ (switch poll closed) now just discussion

I think the SS button (especially with that ring of light) looks best by far.
I don’t think it’ll mismatch with clear anodization, it’s just a different tinted metal.
Pity there’s no plain SS clip though.
Don’t know what material the black clip is, but maybe strip the black paint off?

In this particular case it should stay with the SS switch. It is what will set it off . Making a black piston switch would be a waist and would diminish the overall look . I have no issue with installing one of Simon’s new black clips on it, as it would balance out the light. Just enough black to set off the flashlight!

Those that care to go with lighted tail cap can still do so if needed. It does look nice lighted.

Standard SS switch
For looks and for quality reasons
Glad you’re asking

Standard stainless switch (same as current S2+)

I respect everyone’s opinion but this poll was started May 1st and ran for 3 weeks before it closed. The results were given to Simon. You can continue to discuss of course but please understand the voting part is over. Simon went with a black steel switch for the first run. His company…his choice. Other switch options may come later. There are still several things to be worked out before the light is released. When I have a confirmed release date I will start a thread for the new light.

Aha! LOL :smiley:

Well, I’m eagerly awaiting the clear S2+ w/ black piston switch. Simon tells me “there is still some problem with this version”, so I’ll watch this thread for news of a real production run.

I was trying to buy a blue host, and Simon said the only stock he had was clear, to which I replied OK! and then he mentioned the unspecified problem. Such a tease!

Would he sell those piston boots separately?
I prefer the clear stainless steel ones, but would love to put some in various lights.

After read this thread and saw the clear s2+ picture… i’ve made myself 1 last week…

nice

so u strip off the anodize then polish?

that one looks decent! good work

Yes. Stripped off the anodize with some unknown chemical obtained from company workshop :smiley:
The picture u see above is polished body (with Autosol).

Below here is the picture just after stripping off the anodize (before polish)…

The tail cap is the first try with pure unknown chemical (too strong and also the reason i decided to chrome it though). After mixing with water, i tried on the body and the head again and got amazing results.

Translation:
<BLF> Awesome, what chemical did you use?
<Khuan> I dunno. Whichever one had the most warning labels.
<Khuan> It burned off my eyebrows but I feel amazing.
<Khuan> Hey, look at this shiny thing!

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

No problem with me , go against the majority and see how it sells, not to me ,I do not want it ! :frowning:

The reason the black steel switches are holding this up is the finish is not as durable as intended. The black may wear off over time and Simon doesn’t want to sell the clear S2+ with a sub-standard switch. They would probably appeal to some anyway so there is a possibility the black steel switch cover assembly may be sold separately at a discounted price. This is not a promise, just a possibility. I will post here when I have confirmation.

I’d be really interested in a black steel switch(together with a black S2+)

I wonder if there is any update on the ‘clear’ S2+ production yet.

It is sad that the delay relates to the black finish on the metal push-button switch - The S2+ example pictured on page 1 of this thread which features the clear rubber switch boot looks awesome!

Really looking forward to this model coming out. Clear anodizing is nicest looking S2+ finish (in my opinion) and of course I will be sure to purchase a few.

Holy this is beautiful… where can I find one!

I need some some tailcap with stainless steel switch. Doesn’t need switch PCB or spring just the things to convert my rubber switched S2+, S3 and Jaxman E2L to stainless. And of course I want clear inner rubber boot to add lightet tailcap board. J-dub can you ask Simon if he can sell some ? I don’t mind the color because I want to strip and polish the whole lights to bare aluminum. Or anybody has some for sale?
