“… we do have the plan for the D1SV2, with truely constant current, bigger head, USB-C charger, 21700 battery, should be 50kcd+ with the Osram LED. There will be XHP35HI options as well.”
And futher on he said it should be available in the next 1-2 month.
Sounds extremly exciting! But bigger head+osram LED = 50kcd? Maybe a mistake? Should be much more, shouldnt it?
Exciting, but 50kcd? hopefully, that’s just a typo, a standard well focused stock Convoy C8 with XPL-HI will do about 100 kcd
My C8 with Osram 1mm2 does twice that easily
Can’t wait to see more. Would love to get it with XHP35 HI (Osrams are surely going to be too narrow for my uses).
Though with a large inductor and Type C port it could really use a high current powerbank capability.
Interesting. V1 is already a great compact thrower, at ~130 kcd. If there’s a V2 with 500 kcd, that’ll be … kind of awesome. That would increase the throw from 721m to 1414m. That’s two thirds the throw of a BLF GT, in a light a small fraction the size.
Of course, it’d also be a pencil beam. But that’s to be expected from throwers.
Well, the 1mm^2 “White Flat” does that for you. I wonder what a BLF GT size light with a properly focused “White Flat” emitter would do in terms of throw. Pencil beam for real!
“The USB-C port is only the threads of the tube, so that the waterproof is not affected.
It does not support the firmware updating, however, there are reflashing pads on the back of
the driver, which is the same as the D4V2.

I’m not a fan of usb port in the threads. Don’t like having to touch thread grease and I doubt anyone goes diving with this light. But oh well, at least there’s usb-c in this light.
I on the other hand like the USB port in the threads a lot, it is a solid and waterproof position, superior to putting them in leaking holes under silicon flaps.
