MiG0, you ever want to mod a light and have trouble finding your preferred emitter power and tint bin? Now think of making 1000 lights, having to source the numbers you would like at a price point you’re willing to pay. Sometimes it’s just simply a matter of what’s available. Especially when you’re a smaller guy among the big companies.
I have a U1 (UV365).
I wanted to change the led by a Nichia 365, was not possible to remove the old glue (epoxi type).
I had to change the pill, it is the same as the Convoy S2+
I really like it but as long as it is glued I will not buy it, sorry.

10x for your efforts about that, it seems to be a lovely torch indeed, will post again when i got it
Yet, i was wondering, meanwhile would you be so kind to post here a close detailed photo of those S4 1A emitters ? They could end up being from the “gold ones”….woah :sunglasses:
Lol, I bought one with 1A emitters, just to be replaced, I did think about them as being potentially one of the ‘good’ XP-G2’s. I will post a picture, Mitko!
Yeah, but the idea here is to help manufacturers educate the folks they hire to build the flashlights — since we can’t talk with the builders directly.
And sometimes the manufacturers miss little things and we early adopters mention them. So I’m suggesting too much thermal goop as worth checking on.
It’d help to know what’s “special” about the thermal goop they’re using, and to hear that they understand how very little of it ought to be used.
