New Convoy C8 – Clearly better

Right. I got those drivers in the mail… but they were the old version. Oops. Slight communication fail. So I haven’t tested a new version yet.

The silver-anodized S2+ is nice though, with XP-L HI and a smooth reflector for more throw. I need to get myself a stronger tool to unscrew its driver retaining ring, since it’s so tight it makes my machinist calipers bend.

Thank you for response. About S2+, do you think xp-l hi is worth in that size of reflector.

I have XP-L HI and smooth reflector bith biscotti in my S2+ and is perfect combination (imho). Throws almost as C8 with same led and driver.

In the end I put OP reflector back because it was too much throw for my use of that flashlight :slight_smile:

No, there is no extension tube for Convoy C8 but you can use 2 X 18350 setup :slight_smile:

Maybe you should also try optics :slight_smile:

Planning to order some to try :slight_smile:

Any chance of testing how it compares to the S2 w/ XP-L HI?

Testing S2+ with S2?
Or S2+ with C8?

That extra-throwy S2+ of yours vs. a regular S2. It’d be a good show of how much the reflector depth matters in throw distance.

Unless, of course, you don’t have an S2, since Simon doesn’t seem to be carrying them anymore (pity, really, it’s a fantastic host).

You can find some beam comparison here in this gallery of my S2+
I tried XM-L2 with SMO reflector and XP-L with OP and SMO. And XP-L HI with OP and SMO.

Sorry don’t have S2 but would like to have one.

Ooo, purdy! :laughing: Stock XM-L2 with smooth reflector seems like a really sweet deal for me; for sure, it’s throwier than my S2 w/ OP reflector.

Well that’s a crying shame… Banggood sells hosts and functional ones with the old blinky drive, if you’re still interested. I have a 3x7135 right here by my side that I love to pieces.

How about S2+ with SMO reflector and dedomed XPG2 with NANJG_12xAMC :sunglasses:
Thrower or what :smiley:

We’re talking flashlights, not laser guns! :smiley:

Well shoot. I know 2x 18350 will work (or in my case 2x 16340 because that’s what I have), I was hoping to increase battery capacity though, since 2x 18350 is less than even 1x 18650. I wonder if I can open up the driver opening for one of the H1-A 20mm boost drivers.

Well , i like laser guns . My X6 , F13 , C8 , L6 (all with dedomed xp-g2’s agree too).

It came!
Man oh man what beauty!
Hat of to TK, J-Dub74 and Simon, thanks.

:sunglasses: Glad you like it buddy.

this one has the highest WAF for sure “ooh that is beautiful, like silver, get more so we can give them as presents”

She’s a keeper & so is the flashlight
