will these have xpl led inside? to increase the throw a bit? I have a blue s2+, the throw is not very far at all. 2.8A I like the idea of tan, it would look great on OD gear, I may buy one. maybe 4 or 6 7135 this time.
On Richard website, I was looking at the c8s, there is an option to have a driver with many modes, I think it was guppydriver. Is there any way I can buy that driver for an s2+? or even for a c8 I have in the mail from simon?
Ok now I’m interested since all my gear (I have a color choice in) is sand, tan, coyote, or digital desert camo.
Not yet. If we wait for the redesign of the metal button we won’t see this light until 2017. As it is, the waterproofing on the existing switch really isn’t bad. It would survive a drop in a puddle just fine, you just don’t want to leave it in the bottom of a swimming pool over night. It’s not intended as a diving light. It is only slightly less waterproof than a solid silicone switch boot. Emarkd did some testing for us including submerging it in a bowl of water for 15 minutes then taking it apart finding zero water had had gotten inside. It’s not perfect and will be reworked eventually but it’s not top priority at this moment.
If you’re worried about waterproofness you can always add a second seal in the tailcap - aka the thumb of a nylon glove.
Great to see the S2+ Tusken Raider edition has it’s own thread. I have been looking forward to this light.
Have you ever thought about gunblue for the black metal parts? I’m not talking about DIY stuff, but the real thing used on rifles…
I’d be interested in this color format as well (could always use another S2+) 
I’m going to toss this out for consideration….orange. This may seem like an odd request, but in the camping/hiking/prepping/emergency preparedness world the color orange rules supreme since it is easier to see in dim light conditions and easily identified if dropped in the great outdoors. I’ve talked with Simon about this but not sure if he understands the market for this light in this color format. I know that I’d push it in the camping/hiking/prepping/emergency preparedness community (I have a lot of time in with this community).
If he dropped the strobe mode in favor of beacon in the orange format it would also be a huge plus. H/M/L/SOS and beacon would be the ticket for the target audience. And too be honest, a firefly mode would go over well.
Just some thoughts if that’s okay 
An XP-L won’t really make it throw any better. The XP-L is essentially an XM-L2 dye on an XP-G2 footprint with a flat sided dome. This just makes it more compatible with mounting it as an alternative to an XP-G2. But performance, beam, viewing angle and throw will be almost identical to an XM-L2. At least close enough that you’d not likely see the difference by eye.
An XP-L HI however would be a different matter.
If anyone wants a particular colour, the secret to getting J-dub to suggest it is to relentless mention your preferred colour anytime he mentions an S2+ 
(Don’t actually do this, J-dub will hate me)
Seriously though, a safety orange would be pretty cool.
DeputyDave, would it be better on something like the F6 though, especially if the tail spike was made of a functional material that could break a window? Or is a functional window breaker still too gimmicky for preparedness people?
If a triple nichia was built in it, for long runtime , would 3a be sufficient or maybe 1.5a.
Max 5-600 lumens high.
Thanks
The S2+ is known for it’s excellent smooth flood beam. The shallow OP reflector is purposely made that way. I honestly wouldn’t want to mess with that. Now bringing the XPL-HI to the S2 with it’s slightly deeper reflector is under consideration if there is enough demand. Still it would never match the throw of say the X5. As far as drivers, as long as you can mod lights there are plenty of options and Richard is the man I would see.
@ J-Dub74
Thanks for letting us know about the forthcoming S2+, you can put me down for getting one. I have loads of Convoy’s and always recommend them.
If Simon wants one reviewing, then I’d happily oblige. Here is my S2+ review previously:
There is a similar thread on CPF and I post it some other places too.
Review: Convoy S2+ (the red one!) – Fantastic 18650 EDC | Candle Power Flashlight Forum~~%96-Fantastic-18650-EDC
As for suggestions. I only have two:
-Driver. It would be awesome to have a moonlight mode on the Convoy lights. The current driver’s performance is perfectly fine, I know we all like hot rods, but the reality is 2.8amp is more than enough. But a low moonlight mode like the Qlite drivers offer at 5mA would make the Convoy lights so much more versatile as EDC’s

-LED options. I simply love the fact I can have a choice of LED tints. But it would be awesome to be able to have the same lights and drivers but with an XP-G2 or XP-L HI (I know the latter is probably more pricey). But XP-G2 in a tube light @ 2.8amp and good tint is an awesome combination.
This. Is. Going. To. Be. AWESOME!!!
Very interested in getting one of these for my first S2+

Any idea what colour the Convoy logo will be on the tan version?
J-Dub74 says…“From the start of this project I made it clear that the look were going for depended on the sand/tan color anodizing having a matte finish. Hopefully a sample of the color will be available soon.” 
You have my attention. I’m curious about cost of course and does it add any thickness? I’ll have to look into it. Thanks.
Not gimmicky at all. A tail end capable of breaking glass is always a plus and it opens the market up to professions that are first responders. I try to get as much gear as possible in a bright, safety orange whether it’s a light, zippo lighter, 550 paracord, match safe etc. I’d snap up an orange S2+ in an instant and I think a LOT of folks would as well.
From a SAR (search and rescue) or first responder standpoint orange is a standard. And also why I recommend beacon over strobe. You want to attract attention and while strobe is good for that, beacon would be better imo. And of course SOS gets the thumbs up. Basically beacon if you’re a responder giving your location to coordinate rescue and SOS if you are the one needing rescue and trying to attract attention. Not everyone knows SOS (but they should) but enough do to make it a positive feature.
At any rate, I’d spread the word on multiple sites if it were orange. I’ve already spread the word on the S2+ in-and-of-itself.
Actually no. I asked a long time ago but didn’t get a response. My suggestion was that the logo should be black to stick with the theme but Simon didn’t get back to me on that.
