I better stick to the beers, outgunned totally.
BTW have you seen post about new gen S2+ that have changed threads?
Cannot find it now but guys are complaining that 18350 tubes cannot be installed on other S2+ tailes and heads…
The grey ones really suck, can’t recognize which one is new or old batch.
The color ones are still old batch I think,
About a month ago I got a couple remote switches for S2. They wouldn’t thread on any of my existing S2
Simon said there was a bad batch with wrong threads and refunded.
Then I ordered three sst20 x6 biscotti. I asked for short tubes instead of large tubes as I have a pile of extra large tubes, but short 18350 tubes (ideally uniquely colored so I can keep track of led/drivers) and a magnnet are what I usually use on these. He didn’t send the short tubes like he has in the past. So I try to put …

Convoy S2+ - thread is different now
The old thread is a trapezoidal thread, the new thread is a rectangular thread,

New driver spring of S21A is ridiculous high.
No chance to use flashlight with 21700.
Even flat top18650 is 1mm over tube.
Simon, there is a growing selection of drivers and LEDs in your store. Could you divide the “LED, Driver” subcategory into two separate ones? “LED” and “Drivers” separately. It’s getting harder and harder to find anything.

Spring is fine, bypassed. And damping is perfect in case of drop there won’t be mode change. I have Molicel P42A and it works great

New one doesn’t have bypass.
For me S12 has perfect size battery tube for 21700. S21A is short.

If it’s not bypassed it means Simon built it with phosphorous bronze spring, not regular bypassed IMO

Okay, I have re-completed the grouping,

probably the latest type.
Below I pictured some revisions of S2+ SST40 4-mode driver.
top pic shows the earlier SST40 4-mode driver (softer spring with spring-bypass wire pre-installed) ; driver spring is "triangle" shape. ; tailcap current measures (to verify again... something like 4.5+ Amps I think)
middle pic shows a fairly recent SST40 4-mode driver (a bit stiffer spring, not factory bypassed) ; driver spring is "cylindrical" shape ; tailcap current measures around 4.45 Amps
bottom pic shows a new SST40 4-mode driver (even stiffer spring, not factory bypassed), driver spring is sort of "trapezoid" shape, tailcap current measures around 4.8 Amps
bottom pic also shows the new S2+ body screw thread -- it will not "lego" with the 2 top S2+ body tubes. (the earlier shade of grey is also slightly diffferent (earlier S2+ gray is like a shade of bluish-gray, compared to slightly darker grey in newer S2+)

How much interest would Simon need to get this High CRI emitter in a M21C, M26C and M21C-U with Ramping?

Seem that spring on bottom pic have larger basis and driver bigger positive area than spring on middle S2+.
Their heigh is same?

I see a new M21C in Simon’s store
M21C CSLPM1.TG 6500K
Are there any measurements available?

Battery is standard 21700 flat top Samsung 40T.
This is not normal. I think, battery should be equal with tube.
Now S21A is perfect for 18650 battery.

As another point of reference, a CSLNM1.TG in a C8+ with a 5A driver hit 224kcd (945m or so), tested at 5 and 10m.

So you lose 100m in exchange for double the lumens, and likely more reliable if used in hot weather.
edit: typo.

The PM1 is far more usable for 99% of things; the beam being fatter is just way more useful except for a candela shootout.

Simon, new store looks great but i would add HOSTS to the FLASHLIGHTS section.
And maybe MCPCB and DRIVER in it’s own section.
Those are the most viewed items.
