New Convoy color samples...taste the rainbow

Yes! I really like my SST40 L2. The only thing I miss that Ican’t put Andúril firmware on it.

@justanotherguy
What is the weight of your copper version?

I like S2+

I wish get every color

Please J-Dub make it happen even if it is only a small batch of hosts with side switch L2s!
:heart_eyes: :cry:

Just to clarify - I only asked about the orange light. I have no idea if this will coincide with the release of the other two colors teased here.

On paper I would love all these colors - purple, orange etc.

In reality I find the existing Convoy colors - blue, red, green - very underwhelming compared to my old Maglite AAs and C/D models.

I compare my blue Maglite to my blue S2+ and there is no comparison - the Maglite really pops and looks attractive. The Convoy looks very dull and basic.

I guess it is the polishing or surface quality which makes the difference. I would like Simon to improve this before expanding the color options.

The S2+ is not my favorite light but I think I’d buy one of each color if I could, if just for modding them later :slight_smile:

Went the @justanotherguy’s route and asked Simon if he was making the orage colored S2+ and if he’d sell me the production test. Got an answer just saying “it’s in production”

Hello.
I am also eager to enlarge my s2 + collection :slight_smile:

Photo not best, but im not master of PS :wink: Old photo, without s2 + desert tan.

Cool greys! Mine is more like the bottom one

I didn’t know they have so many different gray colors.

Me too. It came out when ordering :smiley:

I’d buy a copper S2+ :+1:

The metal I really want is stainless steel, though, for sheer indestructibility :slight_smile:

I have five S2+ lights already, but I’d buy lots of stainless steel S2+ hosts!

Where did you buy it ?

different greys might just be differences in the dye supplier, anodizing variables, there was always only one listing for gray S2+. Well, one for the complete flashlight and one for the host and one for the short tube version, but you get the idea

It’s called a Convoy S7.

I like mine, but I didn’t make it very high-powered. The steel host can’t really shed heat fast enough for high power levels to be safe. So I used a nanjg driver with 4x7135 chips and a Nichia 219b 92CRI 4750K emitter. I made my own firmware for it, which I call “S7” in the code repository — five regular modes and a bunch of blinkies, with offtime no-memory so it resets to moon whenever it’s off for more than half a second.

It works okay with a SF L2 clip, but the clip diameter is a bit wider than the host, so it sticks out a little. Can also work with some other clips depending on what style one likes.

The host has a polished surface which looks nice. It also holds up pretty well to scratches and abuse because it’s steel. It’s heavy though. Currently I’ve got mine inside a lightsaber hilt to provide weight and blade illumination, as a temporary thing until I build a proper saber driver.

I think the S7 also has double O-rings, which is awesome.

The Convoy S7 sounds nice :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, it seems to be discontinued everywhere I can think of. Ah, well - it does allow some hope of a stainless steel S2+ someday…

Hey all. The three colors are in production but I don’t have an exact time-frame. The purple will be darker and hopefully a little more blue.

The copper S2+ was a limited production run and unfortunately there will not be more in the near future. It will probably happen but not in the next few months based on what Simon tells me.

A stainless S2+ is not likely unless there were extremely high demand. As ToyKeeper mentioned, stainless does not shed heat well so power would need to be relatively low and the light would be heavy. I do like the idea of stainless for a AA sized version of the S2+ though. :slight_smile:

Since we seem to be using this thread to chat about general ideas for Convoy products - Simon should sell a flat tailcap for the S9. The current design makes the light just as long as the S2+, and it’s not a very practical tripod mount either.
