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

belatedly, I prefer rubber tailcap and sometimes lighted

I think clear rubber boot would look good on this. I would not buy with the black personally but I respect that some people like it.

Any word on clear hosts with the official stainless button?

No word on hosts at this time. I would change this from a poll to a thread if it were possible but as far as I know it isn’t. Anyone who knows otherwise please let me know…

Are the lights coming officially with a stainless steel switch?

Not yet but in the next batch, as far as I know…yes.

J-Dub can you kindly ask Simon to sell stainless buttons separately? I got my Clear S2+ today. And it has the black button but started to fade and seeing out the metal color under black coating after half day of use. I better like it with the matching silver button.
Thank you!

I’ve made the request and I’ll keep you posted. Some of this first run of the black switches has the issue you described with the black coating being either too thin or not cured properly. Not all but at least some will have this issue unfortunately. The black metal switch should be much improved in the next run which will be used on the desert tan model. If you bought this one from Simon’s store you can send him a message there for your one light if you want a quicker fix but I’m doing what I can to resolve the bigger picture issue. Hopefully all will be well with the next run. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you for your help. This piece is from banggood but I ordered one from Simon directly for a friend but that one doesn’t arrived yet. We will see how that one keep the black coat. But for me is the best option to buy stainless even if it costs 1-2$ and replace in my light and in the other one too.

Wow, that’s fast… :frowning:
Do you eat a lot of garlic? :wink:

Maybe you can use some solvent or lye or something to remove all of the black coating?

Not really :smiley:
I will try to remove all the blackness.

Aaaand it’s ruined :person_facepalming:
I managed to take out the black switch but I can’t take out the little plastic ring where the light came out. I putted it in some solvent and it melted the plastic ring but the black paint almost intact. :cry:
So now the button felling out and that means I can not use the whole flashlight.
I really need now a stainless button to replace the mess what I just made. I don’t know now I contact with banggood because of fast erasing black paint or Simon at aliexpress to please send me a replacement part for some money.

:frowning:

I would try Simon.

No need for tears… Simon is having some extra switches made. Just send him a message through the Convoy Aliexpress store here. . He’ll take care of you. Tell him I sent you. :wink:

I messaged him about my problem and yesterday I got the reply from him that he has a few and will send me. But I forgot to mention about it here. Simon is the best manufacturer!

Will the clear hosts be offered with the bare stainless switches or only black?

That’s what I like to hear. :slight_smile:
It wasn’t just the value of Convoy lights that led me to where I am. It was the very personal customer service from the owner of the company, taken to a level unmatched in my experience that impressed me so much.
Glad it worked out. :+1:

Is the gap between body and tail cap normal?

What gap?
Can you be more precise or mark it on picture?

The next round of the clear S2+ is supposed to have the stainless switches. Also, Simon just got a batch of the stainless switches so if anyone wants to try swapping one out they should be listed in the store soon.
