Red S2+ flashlight ,for girls,for your lover

I bugged him last week asking him if he’d start selling the blue S2+ and bring back the L2. Before that I asked him to sell me the blue sample that he had.

I guess bugging him pays off. Now we need to bug him on getting a L2 replacement with a XHP friendly reflector. :bigsmile:

I have to agree. A store credit for a store that I can’t trust means nothing to me. If you paid with PayPal they should issue a PayPal refund. Sure there is a chance they didn’t know they were selling fakes. The fact is the numbers just happen to work out in their favor by selling half real ones and half fakes. A big enough percentage of the people buying them won’t know the difference so even giving a few refunds they still make a nice profit. This works out even better for them if the few buyers that report it accept store credit as a refund… The whole thing stinks in my opinion.

Indeed. Persistence is key here. I’m sure multiple people asking for the same thing doesn’t hurt. When I responded to him about the blue S2+ I also mentioned that lots of people were asking him to bring back the L2. We’ll see. It did finally work with the S2+. :beer:

So please tell me, if it’s not too OT…

I’m pretty new to Convoy (only having the Real Red S2+ and the L4)… What is it about the L2 that people like so much?

I mean - I really don’t know…

TIA!

I think in order to get Simon to do a run of L2s you’re going to need to do an GB interest thread. There has been much more interest expressed for a blue S2+. Not so much in the L2. Get some interest numbers. If the numbers are there, Simon will do it.

Judging by pictures and size, it was quite a thrower? Better than Jacob A6?

Cobalt Black & Blue Super-L2! :heart_eyes: I can dream!, I can dream!, Dream about you!! :wink:

Everyone who's getting these fakes should be posting over in the GearBest thread.

Lets clean up Simon's thread, & look forward to the Blue S2! :beer:

if i paid via PP and they offered refund will it be store credit or refund on PP?
(i ordered 2 days ago and im scared ill get the fake ones.)

Clearly tell them “I need a PayPal refund. Do not give me store credit or coupon.” And I’d put at the end of every message I sent to them regarding this.

Of course they may still try to give you credit. :expressionless: But at least you were quite clear on the matter.

I used my red S2+ to build a red red-orange amber color mixing light, I don’t know what I’d put into a blue one.

I afraid there might be entire line of fake Convoys coming... buyers please beware from now on.

I hope the replacement they send is a real on. We’ll soon find out.

I think part of the problem is that in China there can be several companies making lights for one person\brand name. I believe Simon probably uses the one manufacturer, hence the good quality. But since every copies each other over there it becomes a free for all. We had this with the X6 BLF if I recall correctly, various quality hosts coming out.

These ‘fakes’ do seem to be particularly bad though.

By the way did anyone know that EagleEye is Rayus light? Again hence the high quality.

I agree. Good point about cleaning up this thread. It seems to have spun out. If you buy from Simon you will never get a fake Convoy. I’m excited for the blue S2+ too. I talked to Simon again last night. He shot down the green version because he thinks a green flashlight is ugly. LOL I’ll still try to change his mind though. As far as the L2 goes I’m sad to report that he said he will not bring it back because the design is not good (obviously many disagree) and he didn’t make money on that one. Cool as many people think it was you can’t expect a business man to knowingly produce something that will not turn a profit.

Yeah that’s the real reason, he didn’t make money on it. That = “design is not good” for a business man. For most of the reasons we may like it, the “general public” probably doesn’t, so it won’t sell in high enough numbers. The only way to bring it back probably would be to try to get a “group buy” with high enough numbers here for him to be interested. You could ask what those numbers would look like, but because its more expensive, it would be hard to get many hundreds.

I hope there won’t be any fake Convoy L2 in that batch. :wink:

Its maybe as simple as… If you want the real thing, just buy from Richard or Simon. End of story! :wink:

I think that you got it right.

Thanks,
