Would you buy convoy s2+ copper and regular aluminum flashlights with Osram white flat ( the smallest led??) 1 x 1 mm with smooth reflector?? Yes I will buy it if it's turn out the ultimate compact pocket thrower
one more thing I want to see since Simon doing new design for the s2 copper
I want to see better pocket clip please! No detachable clip please we wanted to just like Oveready looking clip or similar lights
Have you measured it or it seems? S2 have a tighter hot spot with less corona and less spill doesn’t bother your eye much so you can see farther.
I measured it just to get results if deeper reflector counts. And I made the measurements with same driver, led etc just swapped one thing at a time.
Stock S2 with 2,8A driver XP-L HI U6 3B emitter: 11500 cd
Convoy S8 with 3,15A driver and S2 deep reflector and same XP-L HI U6 3B emitter: 12500 cd
Convoy S8 with 3,15A driver and S2+ SMO shallow reflector and same XP-L HI U6 3B emitter: 12500 cd
Previous setup but with AR coated lens: 12600 cd
Convoy S8 with 3,15A driver and S2+ SMO shallow reflector and dedomed XP-G2 S4 2B emitter: 22500 cd
Convoy S8 with 3,15A driver and S2+ SMO shallow reflector and Osram white flat 1mm2 emitter and sanded centering ring to best focus: 30800 cd
I think this conversation has been done many time on BLF
It need to have some deepness but there is a point wher it doesn’t matter if you go way deeper. What really matters is the reflected area from front so the reflector diameter. It is the same so it can be the same throw. The beam shape was different but I got same numbers. I don’t want to argue. Here are my numbers and that’s all.
The road at bottom of hill here. Gives me a 650mtr straight,
with a visible curve at the 460m mark.
Has plenty of individual trees.and markers along the way for light beam ranging.
One day I’ll GPS Range them hey.
I’ve never bothered measuring the beam lengths. but when this conversation was on a while back.
I took them both out with Sanyo Battery’s full.
The S2 definitely lights up shrubbery beyond the S2+.
With a lot less spread.
If they weren’t such an ugly/plain looking torch, I’d probably use them.
They a bloody water pipe length with button on one end.
And
they always are built the same
Always the same quality
already a few years available
Lots of spare parts available, which always fit.
Easy to mod
Etc.
Etc.
Actually, it’s one of the top 10 ultimate BLF lights
