【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

uh ,it needs special driver
the input voltage of red LED is 2.0-2.6V

My experience with XP-E2 red is very positive. I’ve made oround 5 pcs of bike rear light for me and friends. Lights driven by by drivers from intl-outdoor, some work with added AMCs to raise current to 4,2A (those work in blinking mode). None of these leds ever caused problems. All work fine up to this day, some for nearly 2 years.

Hi 1strein,

could you send some photos of bike rear redlight you made? I plan to do some light as well. Still not sure, what driver to use and how to solve a slow blink mod.

HI. Pictures won’t tell you much. Regular S2+ Convoy with wide beam Carclo lens (120deg i believe). The key is the driver. It’s custom made based on one from intl-outdoor. You can buy it Here or I can send you contact and manual in Polish.

The driver can be configured. Many blinking and pulsating options.

Hey guys.
What do you think about Anduril firmware for Convoy flashlights?
Is it possible?

On the stock drivers… probably not. Anduril can work on a dual switch light, but I’m pretty sure not on a mechanical-only.

The next check for things like the L6 is the driver MCU and also flashing pins/connections… I’ll leave that to people far more knowledgeable than I.

I think, it’s not possible with actual drivers. And they need an e-switch of cause.
Flashlights with e-switch are: M3, S9, L6, H1
Some other side-switch flashlights has reverse clicky, like BD-series or M4U

I would love to see more BLF-drivers in convoy-flashlights.

Does anyone know what it would take to replace the S12 reverse clicky:

with the taller Convoy forward clicky:

I am assuming a longer rubber switch boot is necessary after the switch is replaced via soldering.

Hi Simon. Any news since then? Is development in progress?

Simon

Any news on this light?

Spotted on Banggood

I really wish it had a ramping FW on it… That light begs for it. Should be a compact monster, heat will be an issue. I really like the battery cap or what ever you want to call it.

THIS!!!

I’ll try and help the best I can. I converted an M1 to a forward clicky. I have not seen the S12 in person and I don’t know how similar it is, switch wise, to the M1. Also when I did my conversion I used a forward clicky from MTNelectronics (for what it is worth I really like that switch and I’ll provide a link below). So with those caveats in mind, here is what I did that I would guess you would need to as well.

I removed the old switch and soldered the new one on. I then had to open up the washer just a smidge and I removed the nipple from inside the boot. I was recommended to use snips and not try and cut it out. I did just that and it worked fine. None of it was too hard. The switch I used was slightly tricky to line up and I had to remove it from the pcb it came on. I hope that helps.

yes of cause. anduril would be great.
and it needs more power.

I dont trust the dimensions: 183mm x 99mm x 80mm (Length x Head diameter x Body diameter)
I think its smaler.

I love the flat top adapter.

If Convoy made the H2 model with an SST 40 diode and SMO reflector for a longer distance, it would be nice …

An SST-40 in the headlamp wouldn’t have any advantage over the XM-L2 unless it was also driven harder. If it was driven harder, it would need to be a burst mode, because heat. The slight texture on the reflector is only going to cost a low-single-digit percentage of throw; I think what you really want here is a smaller, or dedomed emitter like an SST-20 or XP-L HI, and/or a wider reflector.

Any news on these products?

maybe so … Many probably need a long-range L-shaped headlight on a 18650 battery, and I think Convoy could do it … in addition, there are not many brands of long-range headlights …
