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

fluorescent with Glow in the dark powder. :smiley:

29

Now we’re cooking with gas! Lets do it!!!

30

Is it reflective ? Or could a reflective component be added to the pigment ?

31

I’d be interested in a yellow or a yellow/GITD S2+.
You can add me to the list :disguised_face:

32

I think a GITD, flourescent, reflective light might be a bit much :cowboy_hat_face:

33

Oh, with the SS metal button if that matters at this point.

34

Fluorescent, GITD, reflective please, and at that point it doesn’t matter anymore if it produces light at all :smiley:

35

Do I even want to know how/why this thread got started?

36

As long as we’re wishlisting, I’d totally buy this if it existed:

Really though, it’s the blue/purple/red parts I like the most, not the orange/yellow/green bits.

However, by itself, a bright neon traffic-safety yellow reflective glow-in-the-dark coating could be fun. Maybe give it an amber LED or a 2200K ultra-warm to emulate sunlight at sunrise/sunset. Add a pocket chain and wear it with a yellow zoot suit.

37

Fluorescent finish = interesting
Fluorescent + GITD = interested
Fluorescent + GITD + reflective = I’m in! :slight_smile:

edit:
@TK, that rainbow finish is totally sick. Really like the combo

38

For GITD it would be best to have a white coating first for best results I guess. Safety yellow in combination with GITD (maybe even the blue stuff) should look interesting.

39

GITD stuff (a powder) has to be suspended in a clear coating.

40

What’s the point of fluorescent if you need another light to light it up.

A full-body GITD would be awesome.

41

I am interested depending on price and shipping charges

42

Doing some quick research it seems that GITD may not be up to standard, it’s perfectly possible, but reading up about people using it, it seems like it shows up with an uneven blotchy finish, not a nice uniform glow (it can also only be used with light colours for any chance of seeing the glow)

GITD might be worth a miss

43

how about a GITD-coated segment? Head, tail, part of the body?

44

This.

45

Possible, but it’s not the powder itsself that glows, it’s a pigment you add to clear/white coat.

So you would get a speckle effect. Obviously the more powder you use the less noticeable it is. But if I use too much the original powder won’t cure (the glow powder doesn’t ‘melt’ but bonds and glues with the melted powder coat, then cures)

46

Basically it won’t be a solid block of GITD light, but it can be done if anyone wants to order that option!

47

Just FYI: Powder coating is an effective thermal insulator when applied to metal (even at the typical 60-80 micron thickness). So not a desirable material to be used to coat an aluminum LED flashlight… which generates heat and requires a thermal path to the ambient air to cool the emitter. Even worse is the possibility of overheating the battery due to the trapped thermal load.

IMO - although the colors can be vivid and pleasing, Id avoid this one.

Sorry, 3Tronics.
