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?
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.
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…
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
Thanks Chuck, your help is much appreciated, I would have never thought of that.
Now I leave it to RUN for 5secs in High, I switch it off and when I switch it on again after a few seconds it on is on "High" again. So yes, the memory seems to work as you suggested.
But
If at any time I leave it ON at any given mode for less than 5secs, the light switches on at the next mode.
Example:
-Switch ON in High, stays on for 5 secs, then switch OFF --->
-Switch ON again in High (memory mode works), light stays on for less than 5 secs, then switch OFF --->
-Switch ON in Low (next mode, no memory)
I want the light to always switch On in High, and somehow it always switches On in Low (I know why: because now that I test the S2+ I forget to leave it On for 5secs in any mode).
I think the UI in this light is a little counter-intuitive. You need to think "1-banana, 2-banana, 3-banana, 4-banana, 5-banana" before switching OFF, or you won't have mode memory!
I have several lights that are a few years old that also use that driver. the light must run for 5 seconds to memorize modes. I just got used to it. lol
I was wondering why so many say $12 light when I only see the $13 light. Is there a secret probation price discount here? (I paid $12.99 and am patiently waiting for delivery)
My girlfriend was very happy when she got it, now she’s very careful not to scratch that lovely anodizing
Love that steel switch
Wish Convoy has more colors options so I can buy one for myself but I’m sure Simon will come up with something nice…
Received my red Convoy S2+ in the mail yesterday. Compared to the other two S2+’s that I have it does tint yellow. But it is noticeably brighter as well since it is *8 and the others are *3/4. As with the other two, I’m very impressed and this will become my on-duty back up light. Actually I can see myself using it far more than my Streamlight Stinger.
