Blue S2+ flashlight, for guys, for your bro!

ill wait for 18350 tubes before ordering the blue one. thank you for the heads up

Thinking of it… What happened to black 18350 tubes? Currently only grey :slight_smile:

Just received my blue s2+ host from banggood. First impressions, it’s ok:

The fit and finish isn’t nearly as flawless as the red s2+ complete light I got from gearbest. The threads are slightly lose, the tailcap and ‘stainless steel’ button are slightly dinged up. By no means is there anything majorly wrong with the host, it’s just that the red s2+ I purchased from gearbest is literally flawless in comparison. Which seems a bit ironic since a lot of people reported non-genuine convoy’s from gearbest…

I recently got a S2+ blue from Simon aliexpress store, 4*7135 with T6-4C tint; also at the same time I got a NEW Convoy C8 AK47 7135*8 T6-4C SMO from banggood 9.9 event sale. Overall I am VERY happy with the quality of Convoy workmanship, much better than my crappy Solarstorm SC02 which die after a week due to bad switch. Terribad.

But for some reason, the S2+ blue tint is more yellow/amber than the C8 one, although they are all T6-4C ? what happened btw ? I know there should be a slight variance between each LED but the different in tint is huge. Image is taken at 5200K white balance. Love the tint color from C8 but also love the new metal switch as well.

I have the same issue…A C8 SMO with T6-4C from Bangood which is really yellower than my S2 with T6-4C (FastTech).
I really love the tint of the S2 but the C8 is not really pleasant…

Interesting. I never had one from gearbest, but I also got a blue host ftom banggood. My sample looked perfect to me. I guess it’s another lottery.

I received my hosts in both colors and they’re flawless! Much better than any 18650 tube light including the EE A6. Ordered directly from Simon, sent him a screenshot of my cart and paid via PP.

I wanted to do something special with them, one is surely going to get a triple nichia 219C build but I’m not sure about the other. I was thinking triple XP-L HI DD but that’s overkill for this light, not even my copper sinner can handle it more than 30 second. So probably I’m going with single XPL HI and a deep 20mm reflector from the old convoy S2.

Do you keep the S2+ pill?
No concern for squeezing the cell too much?

EDIT: Just tried it, not enough thread on the head to keep the S2+ pill.

It’s also possible they may have simply sent you the wrong emitter.

I had that happen recently. I ordered a DQG Fairy in 4C tint from Banggood, and what I received is the 1A tint version. In this case I don’t really mind though, since I was on the fence to begin with and I really don’t like anything warmer than 4500K or so. I find the blue tint less obnoxious than a too-warm tint, and there wasn’t an option to get a tint I really like. This thing really should come with a Nichia 219B in it instead of XP-G2.

So in my case who is sending the wrong tint ? I tried to look at other people beamshot but without a white balance reference it is hard to tell.

If your photo was taken with a 5200K white balance, that C8 is definitely not a 4C.

I have two blue S2+ directly from Simon and they are basically flawless. I ordered them both *4 with 4C tint and they are excellent and I see no noticeable difference. I can’t say what happened with other suppliers but I always order directly from Simon to avoid mix-ups.

Guess what’s just around the corner? :bigsmile: Just got the email from Simon with this picture…

Crap! Looks like another order from Simon in my future.

Me too! I don’t even have any 18350s yet but I’m going to order some ASAP from RMM so that I have them ready when my shorty tubes get here. The new L2 is also just around the corner. Simon said he’s just working out the details with the gift box (probably similar to the S2+ box) and then the L2 will be in the store too. I need more time to make more money to buy more flashlights… Wow… that’s twisted. At least I’m here among a bunch of like-minded freaks! H)

So how long are we talking for the color 18350’s? A week? 3 weeks? less?

awesome! Any clips?

Now ain’t that just the pertiest sight that y’all have ever seen?

Woo Hoo! :heart_eyes:

Nice!! So what to bug Simon about next? OD Green or Tan S2+? :slight_smile:

If you’re looking for 18350s I personally recommend the purple efest, I’m getting 6.7A in a triple XP-L setup with Fet+1 driver… Only 2 amps short of the 25R.

Never seen a tint that color, that orange warm really, I’m going to say its the camera/picture/monitor distorting it? C8 looks like something in the 5A range in the picture too. Its really hard to show someone color of a beam. I’d guess you got a T4-7C by description, just because its a warmer option that he offers, if your colors are very off as I’ve said. If they are on target…no idea…
