Would you be interested in a fluorescent yellow powder coated Convoy S2+ / C8? Updated

Okay, I understand.
Selling fluo yellow S2+ hosts would probably be best then.
When shipping costs (to NL) are fair i’m interested.
Maybe start an interested list.

That sounds good, I’m sure there will be many interested (and maybe me) :slight_smile:

Does powdercoating act as a thermal insulator much? A bit does not matter me, but if it totally spoils the heatpath, that does matter.

I don’t think the threads will be coated too.
Or in other words:
Are all parts totally coated or just the visible outside?

Shipping will be as cheap as possible

UK shipping is £3.95 for an S2+ sized package
International shipping is £6-8 ish

I will start an interest list

There has been a lot of talk about this, to me, it’s not noticible in a standard single emitter (2-3A) light
There’s just not enough heat to make much difference (in my opinion)

You may lose some heat dissipation but you gain a lot of protection (vs anodising)

Maybe in a XHP50 S2+ it might be a problem

Tail threads are coated, head threads are bare.

Coated head threads had some issues with ground connection

If it’s a WTB list already, please don’t include me. I’m a fan of the concept, but I’m in such dire financial straits I can’t afford it.

This may sound petty, but I’d be interested if you’re starting with one of the metal-button hosts. If you’re building on the basic black, with the rubber tail switch, I’m a lot less interested.

Also make it a dragon eye!

I can probably do both versions

Yes

I’m not in but just throwing in my 2¢ worth: When doing some of my flashlight builds here, the most commonly requested color is a Safety-Orange, for visibility. That particular option seems to be pretty desirable, but under-represented in the flashlight market.

(Now, off to go troll the Desert-Tan thread for a while…)

Having been in the UK regularly, they seem to like Safety Yellow a lot over there, so perhaps this particular choice of colour is a European thing?

I do have safety orange and have sold a few, but it’s not fluorescent, just ‘bright/vivid’

This fluorescent yellow would be more like a hi-viz safety jacket

The more different S2+ the better. Still waiting on the sand colour one, as well as the clear ano to show up in Simon’s store.

I think the flourescent yellow is more of a European colour yes, orange tends tends to be more for ‘specialist’ roles.

I haven’t found a source for the fluorescent orange powder yet. Only the yellow.

But I’m more than happy to offer orange once I find the powder

What about GITD?

I think it’s possible, you can get GITD pigments for the powder

I guess you could mix glow powder with the clearcoat, but will that stand the heat of bakung the coating?

I think i would prefer fluorescent yellow with a slight greenish hue to it.
It’s just the ‘loudest’ fluo colour. :slight_smile:
