Would you be interested in a fluorescent yellow powder coated Convoy S2+ / C8? Updated

That sounds good, I’m sure there will be many interested (and maybe me) :slight_smile:

Does powdercoating act as a thermal insulator much? A bit does not matter me, but if it totally spoils the heatpath, that does matter.

I don’t think the threads will be coated too.
Or in other words:
Are all parts totally coated or just the visible outside?

Shipping will be as cheap as possible

UK shipping is £3.95 for an S2+ sized package
International shipping is £6-8 ish

I will start an interest list

There has been a lot of talk about this, to me, it’s not noticible in a standard single emitter (2-3A) light
There’s just not enough heat to make much difference (in my opinion)

You may lose some heat dissipation but you gain a lot of protection (vs anodising)

Maybe in a XHP50 S2+ it might be a problem

Tail threads are coated, head threads are bare.

Coated head threads had some issues with ground connection

If it’s a WTB list already, please don’t include me. I’m a fan of the concept, but I’m in such dire financial straits I can’t afford it.

This may sound petty, but I’d be interested if you’re starting with one of the metal-button hosts. If you’re building on the basic black, with the rubber tail switch, I’m a lot less interested.

Also make it a dragon eye!

I can probably do both versions

Yes

I’m not in but just throwing in my 2¢ worth: When doing some of my flashlight builds here, the most commonly requested color is a Safety-Orange, for visibility. That particular option seems to be pretty desirable, but under-represented in the flashlight market.

(Now, off to go troll the Desert-Tan thread for a while…)

Having been in the UK regularly, they seem to like Safety Yellow a lot over there, so perhaps this particular choice of colour is a European thing?

I do have safety orange and have sold a few, but it’s not fluorescent, just ‘bright/vivid’

This fluorescent yellow would be more like a hi-viz safety jacket

The more different S2+ the better. Still waiting on the sand colour one, as well as the clear ano to show up in Simon’s store.

I think the flourescent yellow is more of a European colour yes, orange tends tends to be more for ‘specialist’ roles.

I haven’t found a source for the fluorescent orange powder yet. Only the yellow.

But I’m more than happy to offer orange once I find the powder

What about GITD?

I think it’s possible, you can get GITD pigments for the powder

I guess you could mix glow powder with the clearcoat, but will that stand the heat of bakung the coating?

I think i would prefer fluorescent yellow with a slight greenish hue to it.
It’s just the ‘loudest’ fluo colour. :slight_smile:

There is specific GITD pigment for powder coating that you mix with the colour coat.

There is no need for a clear coat with standard colours (only Chrome, Candy and Hydrographics need clear coats)

You can also get additives that sparkle and shimmer e.g. Black colour coat with orange sparkle additive
