【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

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,
However, the page display is somewhat delayed,

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.

I should be able to directly purchase this model of LED from this company

2meters 44000lux
839meters range

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.

Thank you. Now searching is much easier.

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.

I would suggest coating lens on only one side. I have bunch of HI CRI emitters but all of them in Convoy hosts have higher DUV, more yellow /green than they are in other flashlights.

I have S2 reflector in custom host with only one side coated lens but the beam is beautifull with Nichia.

219B.

on the other hand having the same emitter in S2 with the same reflector gives more higher DUV beam.

Not really a deficit going to the larger die led. Like Obewan said, the 2mm2 emitter is more useful for everything but lux and throw. The smaller emitters beam is so narrow and the hotspot so small up close. The 2mm2 is much more useful in terms of side illumination and general usefulness.
