Should be ok now, sorry
wow looks wonderful, nice knurling.
Yeah, I wasn’t convinced when I saw the first pics two weeks ago but it’s really nice in person.
Grippier than the S1/S1R but not overly agressive.

Got the 4sevens for SGD99 & the Cimet for SGD25
TUBE
Postie brought me 3 at once, plus 8x30Q to make ’em bright and a Q8 tube from Sofirn for bypass practice :student:
Ordered a cheap 2000LM C8 18650 flashlight off eBay, for a host. It arrived today:
Just for clarification:
Its tiny!
Should make a nice mini thrower. How is the reflector?
Very cool Petr, love the symmetrical pics :sunglasses:
Please tell more on the headlamps, i still have an eagle eye x2 several years on ……………………still going strong. Seem a pretty good budget brand.
I have a flashlight since yesterday. So far I have not tested them too much.
Photos like it? O.K. Two more similar.
Very cool,
I am kind of headlamp thing at the moment. Have enough(well do we ever have enough) flashlights. So far a couple of h2r lamps, couple of zebra headlamps for in work. Pondering over the next, liking the look of the manker e04 as an option as well. Not ideal being 16340, but like the mule/ form factor.
That copper Convoy S2+ looks so tempting…

What are your thoughts about it?
I like the wide uniform flood pattern, and I like how much output it produces. Unfortunately, that high output only lasts about an hour or so, and after that it’ll continue to run at a very low level for the next 3 days or so (on alkaline cells). This light would benefit from an external power supply (connection to a USB power bank, for example) and a lower output mode. It only has one mode - high.
I posted some runtimes here:
I thought I’d verify runtime on this Defiant 500 utility light. This is using AmazonBasics High Capacity NiMH cells and ceilingbounce app: Test #1: NiMH [image] As you can see, the light flatlined after about 24 minutes and it would not turn back on. The cells were at 1.27V when I pulled them out and were fairly warm. I put in another set of cells, and the light still would not turn on. I waited half an hour. Still no signs of life. I opened it up, but did not see any burned elements and noth…
Gearbest sells a light that’s similar to this one in shape/form factor, and it can run on 18650 cells in addition to NiMH cells, so that should help extend runtimes. It also has high and low modes, but also a strobe mode (what were they thinking?).
