Stainless AAA XP-E2 twistie at Convoy's store

what a nice light! guess I’ll order the 5000K variant

Maybe Simon worked with them but BD lineup is stright up Dipper with proper logo :slight_smile: :
Dipper BD01
Dipper BD02
Dipper BD03
I believe those flashlights have many other names on chinese market - someone here gave some examples.
First version Convoy L2 was Dipper D19, current one probably as well. Didn’t researched L6 and know of no clones - but you see a pattern.
Having said that I still prefer Convoy anytime. Proven quality, reliable and even good looking western-centric logo(no chinese squiggles or chinglish) :slight_smile:

Do you like the small Dito Feng AAA??
Take a look at my small video here: Dito Feng flashlight :smiley: (scroll down the thread, the first video did not run… :person_facepalming: )
I like it so much!

It would be nice if there was a version in AA

No modes

I received two of them NW a few days ago.

Very nice SS AAA light. I like the brushed metal, its weight and overall design.

The nice thing is the twist head can be locked off by turning it a bit more then half a turn so it wont wiggle or come apart when off. You cannot remove the head actually. It’s a bit hard to turn it on one handed once locked though.

I wish it had two or three modes rather then just on/off like the BLF 348… BUT that makes it a nice gift for people who have trouble with modes - most people i know in fact…

I also wish the packaging would be nicer then the minimalist plain white self destructing cardboard box… My two lights where loose in the envelope when i received them - they had come out of their ‘package’. They where not protected by a bubble wrap sleeve either - just a tiny bit of bubble wrap tucked along, not enough to go around. I was lucky they where not damaged.

I’ll probably get a few more… and add a comment about packaging at order time. :smiley:

Hows the tint? Looks kind of greenish in the pics on aliexpress

There’s promo at BG for these right now for $9.99 and if you have enough BG points and VIP account it can be as low as $7.99. See deal alert thread for details.

It is.

Speaking of light output, this light is not a top performer either but it is very decent.

The beam is rather focused compared to other AAA i have and does throw further. However it is very ‘ringy’ and ‘rainbowy’ - if that makes sense. I’ll try to post some beam shots.

It’s not perfect… but it is sooo cute! I’m glad to add it to my AAA lineup.

I noticed this light couple of days ago at banggood named convoy tiny.
This is a nice light and I like the SS finishing but wish it could have more output as other lights in its class have 90 lumens or more.

Here’s the new silver Convoy avant la lettre:

with an XR-E :smiley:

Is the tint bearable? I might go cooler or warmer if its really sickly looking

Who needs 90 lumens?

This guy is hilarious. Funniest thing I read all day.

The brushed stainless looks much better than the polished, imo….

why not? If I bring only one light, I prefer a brighter one.
its gonna be like i3E IOS, or better if it has low-high modes.

I would say it is, but this is hard to tell since it is a matter of taste and personal perception. I’m also wondering whether i should get an other tint for my next order but they look either bluish or yellowish. The 5000K version is still a NW, only it has a slightly greenish tint. Frankly i don’t think i would have worried about it if you didn’t ask - but that’s just me.

Anyone figures out how to get this thing apart, let me know.
I tried, I failed.

Got the bezel off and glass but the reflector is… STUCK in there.

Love the brushed look of the SS - might be one of the best look'n and practical (SS is great on a key chain) AAA lights, but just one mode, only an XP-E2, and maybe difficult to replace the LED. Dunno... Edit: Ok, ordered one in 5000K

awesome look for this light.
