Is my Convoy S2+ (XM-L2 - 7135x8) legit?

Help please.

My Convoy S2+ just got delivered. I ordered one with an XM-L2 led with eight 7135 chips.

Can you help me ascertain the flashlight I received does come with 7135x8 chips and that its not a fake as I’ve seen some discussions about fake S2+ flashlights.

Thanks.

If I may ask, where did you get it from?

Apparently everything seems to be OK. Those are the 4 chips on the bottom and it will probably have 4 on the top layer, along with other components. Also, it seems to be a legit XM-L2 Led.
That seems to be the 3/5 modes version ( Low-Med-High / Low-Med-High-Strobe-SOS).

Looks real as the driver is Convoy branded.

I have not seen a fake S2+ in years? You can get S2+ from other brands but they are not fake just rebrands.

Looks real, but it has the old 3/5 mode driver. I can’t stand that driver. What makes you doubt the light?

Am in asia. Got it off an asian ecommerce platform from a store that delivers from china. Yes, it is the 3/5 mode version.
I’m still trying set it up as I only received a flashlight and a lanyard. No manual, no spare o-rings, nothing…

Thanks.

Got it. Thank you.

I didn’t know there were other drivers when I purchased it. The new driver would be “Biscotti”?
Well, bec it was cheap… :smiley:

Fake Convoy saga back in 2015...

That was ages ago, Last i heard of fakes where the red and blue S2+ in 2106-2017 maybe? The thread says 2015.

To change between group 1 & 2: change to low and wait for 5 sec, once the light flashes turn the light off or quickly tap the switch.

Memory locks in after 2 sec so once it’s locked the first tap disengages memory and quickly tap within 2 sec to change levels

Thank you. I now understand why it was acting weird when changing levels.

Looks legit.

All my Convoy (C8, C8, S2, S2, S2+ copper first batch, M2, …) came without accessories. Only flashlight and a lanyard in white box.

Oh ok. Thanks

Ditto.

The only Convoy with a few accessories may be the Convoy M3 and S11 which adds 2 o-rings (18650-to-26650 battery adapter).
The Convoy L6 which adds an anti-roll ring.

And probably the most “full-featured” could be the Convoy L2 (XPL-Hi) which includes magnets (temporary connecting 2x flat-top 26650), extension tube, anti-roll ring & lanyard strap. But no spare o-rings… :slight_smile:
