Hi Benoe, got it from Convoy store in Aliexpress as well.
In my case, that doesn’t seems to be group selection mode. Seems to me it’s in normal operating mode. Just that the light flickers some kinda code (doesn’t look like a random blink) before it goes to the default moonlight mode.
Yes, it should be the config mode, and what you see is the two “buzzes” (first for group selection, second for mode memory on/off). Normally you should get here after tapping the button 10 times.
Hello, it works correctly to buy in the store of simon, only that it is a little quick the blinks, it hinders a little the programming requires some attempts, one is programmed in mode 10 the other stock.
Just got mine today. Can’t really beat it for the price.
I’m a n00b when it comes to programming a light but was able to get memory turned on which was most important. Planning on trying a different setting (4) but 1 is good for now.
10 clicks fast less than 3 seconds, with flashlight turned on, if after this flashes 2 times and then 3 enter as a programming, not really, repeat 10 clicks fast not deep, flash 2 times tighten before doing 3 Blinks, re-start, starts 1 blinking, pause 2 blinking pause ……… 12 blinking, not counting blinking counting pause between blinks, if you want 4 press in pause 4 in depth to turn off / on, on And verify that it is the way to your taste, it seems difficult but it is not after 2 or 3 try , and excuse my bad english use translator, greetings !!!
Although Simon mentioned he’ll be back online on 15FEB on his store, I drop him a message on the 13FEB regarding my C8 flickering issue. Received a reply from him yesterday and by today it’s concluded. He will send me a replacement driver. While I still have to find someone to solder it for me, that’s the best customer service I’ve had from any China retailer.
Frankly with a festival as big as Chinese New Year celebration in China, I wouldn’t thought of getting any reply from him before 15FEB.
The big difference is the C8 has a very focused beam for long distance use. The S2+ has a wider beam for close use and general purposes. They are both high quality.
Good stuff. There will always be issues with any company and their product but to me, how those issues are handled is the real test. Simon proved his dedication in that area to me many times over. It’s part of the reason I do what I do for/with Convoy :+1:
Once you get it up and going, that clip will be very handy. But just flashing Bistro again likely won’t fix a “lost the noinit lottery” situation. As long as you’re using the same byte for noinit detection, it will likely decay to the same state. You could flash something that doesn’t use noinit. Or wait for the noinit tracking to be revamped (I’m currently working on that). Best of luck to you!
