Review: Convoy S2+ (the red one!) – Fantastic 18650 EDC

Smile - you never know... Went to work yesterday, Friday, with 2 modded lights: my BLF EE A6 quad (the wow light), and a more practical ZY-T11 clone set for ~4.0A, XM-L2 U2 3C, UCLp lens, copper penny in the pill, bypass's, etc., with my custom e-switch firmware. My boss asks me what lights I had with me - says he needs a light to gift to his father for his birthday - Sunday. Showed him the ZY-T11 clone - sold, $50 with the LG MH1 I had in it and the holster it was in.

I dunno, but this $13 shipped deal is fantastic. For me to mod, it's basically the cost of the host, but throw in a $5 LED and driver than can be re-used.

I just checked the discount code and it's still working Smile and looks like for any qty.

I don’t know if GB still has the $9 deal on the F13 but I know they had it for quite a long time. I ordered four of those during that deal.

Soon as I saw your post above I went and checked the Convoy out and yep, deal still was working which is why I jumped on it. Forgot to say thanks for the link :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link too :)

Yay. Just ordered one :slight_smile:

Me too! - The Red Convoy S2+ 2.8A XM-L2 4C, that is…

Ordered Friday morning, with E-Packet, tracking, and Insurance.

The said that they received my PayPal payment 1 minute later, but today, still Processing:-(

I’ve heard that “e-packet” is faster than Auto free ship? - Is it?

My last (only) order took 21 days from GB, I “think” with auto…

Thanks for the good review Chicken Drumstick!

Does anyone know if it comes with a glow in the dark (gitd) lens o-ring? If not, what size is the o-ring?

I think this is what you are referring to:

But they don’t glow very long, not even in my Convoy S2+ where I replaced the XM-L2 with a UV-led!

Yea I know they don’t glow for long, which is why I need to order quite a few of them :smiley:

Yay….The convoy entered my country today. It should be at my mailbox in 2 days or so :smiley: Kind of waiting to check out the floodiness of it and the great neutral tint :slight_smile:

i received mine today, less than a month from i ordered it. i’m not sure about the tint, seems a bit green to me? just tried it indoors, and against a couple of other flashlights (a ww nichia 119, a xeno e3 in NW, and something in unknown tint…)
otherwise i think it’s a nice flashlight so far

rec’ed mine last week, my first Convoy. It’s awesome esp for the price. Will likely get more.

I’ve had mine in 4C tint for the last few days, and there is (of course) a bit too much yellow/green. - I knew that this would be the case before I ordered it. - I really do like the light.

Why can’t they ever offer anything below the BBL except for the 1A?

3D - 4A - 4D does it for me.

Thanks,

Weird - I like the 4C tint - can't notice any green or yellows. Got a bunch of lights with them, plus the fact that it seems like these 4C's on the market can be driven to 6.5A. To me it looks like a soft smooth white, though I like the 5B1's better when compared side by side. The D's though are also nice: 3D, 4D's. Never cared for the 1C's or 1D's, since they seem to have the yellowish tint in the corona of the hot spot, and the blue tinted spill - the only thing white is the hot spot. The 5B1's look smooth white consistent through-out, even in an SMO focused beam pattern.

A lot of the tint issues depends on the optics of the light though, and of course the eyes of the viewer.

“A lot of the tint issues depends on the optics of the light though, and of course the eyes of the viewer.”

This is so true. - I’m quite sure that no one is lying here.

We really all do see things differently.

Not just the eyes, but then the signal has to get to the brain, when there it’s up to the brain to interpret what the eyes have collected. - Data.

I like cw and nw, but would have to drop the “w” on must anything binned a nw. - Most all are yellow to me.

I do have some cw where I can call the hot-spot White, but only one NW - A 5000k Nichia.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Edit: But things don’t always look their best (to me), with cw or nw, so that is why I have both. - That way I can pick and choose:-)

What a joke…… I have to go at the Customs to fetch a $9.21 declared flashlight. We have an allowance of about $75 normally. Items as big as sjcam4000, Mlais phones, Fenix BC30 packages have come to my house delivered by the postman this year. I don’t understand why such a small puny item is detained pending I go fetch it…

How very annoying.

Gosh! Must be the awesome red color that caught their eyes! :bigsmile:

Flashlight cost $12. Fhuel cost to the post office / customs office $10….not counting the lost time traveling.

Where can i get this for $12 please?

I just received the red S2+ form Gearbest and I cannot get the memory mode to work. It always turns on at the next mode which is so very annoying. Especially when I switch it off from High, and I turn it on a minute later and it is on Strobe.

I even cancelled the "disco" modes (turn off and on again when at Low and light flashes once). I still cannot get the memory mode to work. I turn it off from High, leave it for a minute and then it turns on at low. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

I have one and the memory seems to be based on how long that you leave it “ON” in any given mode.

You need to let it “RUN” for at least 5sec in any given mode to get the mem to work.

Please let us know if this worked for you.

Thanks,
