Hi Dave,
Please check your figures for the high level again. - Looks like you did the calc backwards.
Should be 2600/2800, no?
Thanks,

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.
I wonder where the blue one is. Bought a red one for the wife. I’d like one for myself if there was a blue one.
YES - I want a BLUE one in 1A, please!
Thanks,
-Chuck
can you try to cook your red S2?
just for know how color it will turn

I have an S2+ recently bought from Shenzhen Convoy Electronics Co., Ltd. on AliExpress. It was slightly on when switched off. I took the switch out with considerable effort. It turns out that the ring holding it in has a left hand thread! Very strange and user unfriendly. I didn’t see the problem and didn’t take the switch apart, but the problem went away when I put it back together.
Aside from those two things, it seems perfect for what it is.
Left hand thread for the switch ring or driver ring is not uncommon. Keeps it from being loosened by the body turning against it.
Well as I mentioned above, my first S2+ was 7135*3. The second was 7135*4. The red one I got was 7135*8. So I had a $2 credit from DX. And they just sent me a CC for another $2 because an order of 14500 batteries from back in Feb/Mar was screwed up. So that gave me $4 to spend. So seeing how I had a *3, *4 and *8….
I ordered a *6 in grey with $4 off so this will be the least expensive one so far. :bigsmile:
And because of this Dave, you will be the man for all of us to ask in the future
Thanks,

Just give me the usual 3-4 weeks till it arrives :bigsmile:
Actually they mentioned their slow/unreliable shipping in the CC email. They said they’re trying another carrier to improve reliable shipping. We’ll see……
Someone mentioned TIR lenses for this light.
Where can I get the TIR Lenses ?
Wider angles are also possible.
Should these enhance throw significantly?

Have no personal experience (yet: order is on it’s way), but Simon of Convoy opened a thread about replacing the reflector by a TIR lens.
Sorry ,i can not upload video on Youtobe ,some problem with my goagent setting i am not sure you can watch this video on Youku video [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image]
Looking at the foto’s I would guess that the main difference of replacing a shallow reflector by a 10 degree TIR is a “cleaner beam” with less spill.
I don’t think they increase throw, but just change the beam. The 10 degree TIR lens is $0.40 from LEDDNA. I really like that one in the S2+…beautiful defined large hotspot with a nice wide even spill.
By looking at those pictures, 10 degree lens does look to be brighter.
Would love to get my hands on stripe TIR lens as well.
