I believe Simon said it was type II but I’d have to confirm. I do remember him saying the type III (as Halo pointed out) made the colors too dark and they were having problems getting color consistency between the body and the tail with type III. I don’t have a date yet from Simon and when the short tubes will be available for sale but I’ll pass it along when I have it.
I was so pleased with my first Blue Convoy S2+ with a 4C tint bin and driven by 7135*8 (2800mA), that I decided to pick up a second. I contacted Simon via AliExpress PM and asked him if the 15% sales deal with free ePacket shipping was still on. He said yes, the deal is still on!
I placed my second order just now. This time, I went with the stock drivers (1050mA). I figure I should get about half the lumen output. I’m willing to sacrifice the higher highs in order to get lower lows. And I’m praying that the tint comes out the same as my first Blue S2+.
BTW, the fit and finish details on my first Blue S2+ were great, absolutely perfect to my eye.
Yeah Simon takes good care of us with deals. I’m with you 100% on the 4C tint. Love the way the colors pop at night with that golden glow. I thought it might be too warm but I have two now directly from Simon and I’m definitely a fan.
Anyone here successfully tried ordering a custom light with specs similar or near the following?
1x7135 chip
4C tint
moonlight mode (<= 1lumen)
30% medium and
100% high
TIA.
Moonlight mode (<= 1lumen) would require modified firmware. As far as I’m aware Simon does not do custom firmware.
Thanks for the info Halo.
How about just 1x7135, 4C and 5%low, 30%med and 100% high? Would you know approx how many lumens will these settings provide? Might be near enough to what I want.
Never tried one with 1 x 7135 myself. I read in your other thread that you have a 3 x 7135 version. The low for 1 x 7135 should just be around 1/3 of the low on your 3 x 7135 version.
You can order one of these from RMM with Guppydrv flashed on it. Then select mode 17.

Yes, my grey S2 has 3x7135 chips with a 10%low, 40%med and 100@high settings. If I follow you correctly, the 5%low on 1x7135 would be 1/6(?) of the low in my grey s2? If so, then that’s quality light with very looooong runtime. And I would definitely place my order. :party:
BTW, sent Simon a PM in his AE store regarding this query.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Can I order just a 1x7135 chip version? My goal is to have an 18650-based EDC that will have a low low mode and very long runtime.
I’m not sure if Simon will do that, but you could ask.
You could also order a driver from RMM with whatever specs you want. For example, his FET+7135 driver provides the low low and long runtime, but it also gives the benefits of really high high modes. Or you could ask him for a 1x7135 with STAR and custom levels. Or whatever.
Thank you for the advise.
@all
Just got a reply from Simon. He can do a 1x7135, 4C version for me with 5%low-30%med-100%high modes. That will give me around 4-5lumens on low. Not the low low that I want but it will already be useful to me. I will just use my quark when I need moonlight mode.
You can also reflash the driver, to tweak it to your heart’s content. 
Simon has both the blue and red short tubes available in his store now for $2.95 each Minimum quantity listed as two but yo ucan message him and mix and match and usually work out whatever you want. Simon is really easy going about that stuff. I’ll add this to the OP as well. Enjoy!
Excellent find.
I sent him a message if he can mix and match as I have a blue and a red S2+
He will have no problem mixing and matching them for you. He’s still working out details with the factory but deep carry clips are in the works for these too. We’re in discussion about an “ultimate edition” for the S2+ with both short and standard tubes and a deep carry clip in all three of the new colors. Oops… Did I say three? 0:) More info tomorrow. Way past bedtime for me.
Oh, deep carry clips. :bigsmile:
Did Simon give any indication on the clip attachment method?
You keep having all the fun revealing Simon’s new products. I’ll have to ask Simon if I can reveal what’s being made at the factory right now. 
All I got to say is Simon is on a roll and I hope that he doesn’t slow down.
Ditto. Sent him a message via AliExpress PM.
Nice. Can’t wait to see the new surprises.
