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,

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!
Thanks again for the help!
You are welcome. - Glad that it worked for you.
Yes - I think that the UI is a bit strange, but then I’m considered a bit strange too.
Hey! - That’s the only reason I was able to figure it out:-)
Have a Great Day, all…

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
It is a very good light for $13. Fortunately, I had the help of the good folks here to figure out the UI. Thanks again folks :)
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)
I paid $12.99, plus shipping with tracking and insurance, for a total of $16.24 (from Gearbest with coupon S2490, delivered to Europe with Post NL)
That’s exactly what I paid.
Funny how that $12.99 is now up to $16.24.
Thanks,
-Chuck
I also paid $12.99.
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…
Thanks Convoy and GB for this lovely light…
Just went to fetch the S2+ at Customs….
It was held because of the tail cap image in the scanner 
Appeared as a tazer! hehe
First impressions:
Positives:
- Red is awesome.
- Fantastic build quality.
- Great aluminium switch.
- Got a decent lanyard included.
- Tail stand
So so
- Not squared threaded.
- No spare o ring included.
- Only the tail cap threads of the body is anodized? (coloured red)
- The knurling is not very aggressive. Has some slipperiness to it.
Have no cell to test it out. Plain day light anyways
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.
Very pleased.
If my math is correct, I’m figuring ‘on paper’ run times as follows;
Assuming an 18650 with 2600mAh capacity:
High = 2.8 amps = 1 hour 7 minutes
Medium = 1.12 amps = 2 hours 32 minutes
Low = 140mA = 18 hours 57 minutes
Hi Dave,
Please check your figures for the high level again. - Looks like you did the calc backwards.
Should be 2600/2800, no?
Thanks,
-Chuck
Hehe spot on Chuckov I am so pleased with the 22 hours runtime on low (about 50 lumens) that I am going to give my quark away and use that instead as night lamp
Works great on a 3200 mah cell!
My bad, good catch
I agree, it’s pretty substantial and 50 lumens is enough light to do quite a few tasks.
Ordered on May7, arrived today - a week after my knife order placed on May20!
This is a nice FL, too bad I promised it for SO. Shoulda ordered 2.
