there are two versions
one 1400mA,other one 2500mA
it’s special driver ,
it’s not easy to be modified
Thank you for your suggestion. And I’m ready to launch a lens version.
Sorry, I don’t plan to sell the host. Because it’s too compact.
It’s not easy to customize.

Won’t it be more convenient to use short click to turn it on and off and long press for switching modes?
Ooooh yes!
- single press is on/off
- long press from off is moonlight
- double press from anywhere is turbo
- long press while on changes low/medium/high
Simon, I love that H1:
- knowing your lights - good quality
- knowing your lights - superb value
- moonlight
- always starting low
I’d rather skip the strobe altogether, might be accidentally activated while changing modes.
And High CRI would be a nice option.
There was a big gap in the market below Skilhunt H03 and you’re the perfect maker to bridge that gap.
And 18350 tube is just a superb addition.
How much does H1 weigh?
Looks like a good idea but totally not overthought. The H03 is compact as well but easy to modify. OK, just don’t glue the bezel or the threads.
BLF version:
- please make it 20mm TIR compatible or make a extra TIR model
- ad a usable sub 0.5 lumen moon, the current one is too bright for preserving night vision (camping etc.)
- use the XM-L2 5D nice rosy tint for the 4000K CCT choice
- double press goes to turbo
Seriously, delete that useless strobe mode. It’s as needed as FGM in Africa. Besides the strobe this is a very good muggle UI. Long press shouldn’t be longer then 0.5s however. A good moon/firefly mode is needed for people who don’t want to blind themselves taking a piss at night or don’t want to bother other people. 0.05lm is actually too bright for this.
“0.01%firefly-0.1%moonlight-3%low-30%mid-100%high ,(double-click the switch from off for high); if the flashlight is turned off, press the side switch for 0.5s to enter into firefly mode directly.
Looks great!
I agree with other comments, high CRI would be nice and strobe seems like it could be activated intentionally when changing modes quickly.
Hopefully there’s no PWM like the T2.
Hi Simon,
Many thanks for your frequent participation here and for the great stuff you have for sale. :THUMBS-UP: :BEER:
Some questions:
1. Do you offer the S11 host with SMO and OP reflector or OP only? I would like to order 2 hosts with SMO if possible.

2. Do you see any chance to source high quality bin SST-40 in 5000K? I saw you have 6.500K for sale but neutralwhite would be fantastic.
3. Many many thanks for those L6 switches! I would like to get some more L6 tailcap switches and rubber caps again with my next order. Any chance to get these again? :-)
4. Any news so far about the XHP35 boost driver for L2? Would this driver also work in the S11 host (22mm diameter)?
Cheers,
Thomas
+1 :+1:
Would a red or green light be better for preserving night vision?
Does the switch have an indicator light? Sometimes they call it location or battery power indicator.
Hi Simon, a option for TIR Optik with 30/45 degree would be great. Perhaps to change it later.
Bye Wieselflinkpro
Hmm… 0.10, 3, 30, 100 is quite odd. 3 lows and 1 high. I would like something more evenly spaced like BLF A6 firmware.
+1 BLF A6 firmware. The ramping UI from the Sofirn C8F covers everone.
I agree…. very “odd” indeed. :+1:
Marc E…. I ordered mine 18 February. I got a notice that it “Shipped” today. Hopefully it really did…. 
Congratulations Simon on the first Convoy headlamp :partying_face:
I will probably have a few questions, if they are not already asked by other members 
EDIT:
I already have them (questions, suggestions, requests mixed):
- Currently I don’t know, how the headlamp driver works, only the available modes in the UI. Is the headlamp driver is a buck driver (which converts down from 4.2-3.0V of the battery to the voltage required by the LED, without burning off the excess voltage), so it could be also very good at using low forward voltage LEDs for a prolonged time in low to medium modes? Or that driver works similarly (or identically) to the 7135×N (N: 3,4,6,8) drivers?
- To get the most potential out of this headlamp, access to the LED and optics should be relatively easy (preferably, if a driver would need a replacement in the future, that should be also possible).
- I think, support for TIR lens would be essential for this headlamp, as this can give a great customizability over the form of the light beam - my suggestion would be to support the d=20mm h=12.8mm Yajiamei TIR lens, as they offer a wide range of options.
- A few members already mentioned 18350 tubes. I think, if this headlamp would have 18350 tube as well, it could be a great gift for women - especially, if there will be a few more alternative color for the body (I think, the same red anodization as the S2+ bodies, and the clear anodization variant could be a good starting point).
- I would like to share suggestions about UI for the driver, if you would like to consider them 
Great news, the H01 looks great Simon !
.
I agree, this looks very good!! And Simon has already said it will save him a massive number of battery tubes that have to be scrapped in production. This saves a massive amlunt of money too… it’s a nobrainer to remove the knurling. :+1:
- Someone mentioned earlier that removing the knurling would negatively effect the S2+’s “status” as a great light.
- They also said the new design was “boring”. :person_facepalming:
Personally, I think both statements are totally wrong. The “status” of the Convoy S2+ is mostly based on function… great function. A ‘cosmetic’ change will in no way hinder that at all. The S2+ will retain it’s “status” as a great light.
As far as the new look being “boring”. That is simply an opinion. As is the fact that I think it looks great.
I think a smooth look is desirable also. Personally, I have no trouble at all holding a smooth object.
In fact, personally; I’m good & onboard with just about anything Simon decides to do about the battery tube exterior. I figure he will make a good choice, as well as a choice that will simplify the manufacturing process so as to cut down on scrapped parts.
……
As far as the headlight/right angle light pictured below…. Very Nice!! :+1:
