New Convoy color samples...taste the rainbow

Looooooking Gooooood!

Now, is there any way for me to get a copper pill section L2 with Torquoisish ano on the rest of the light? Pretty Please? :smiley:

Or a side switch L2 host like L6 has the side button.

Yeah Zozz, that would be nice since the L2 has the fat tube for the 26650.

Yes! I really like my SST40 L2. The only thing I miss that Ican’t put Andúril firmware on it.

@justanotherguy
What is the weight of your copper version?

I like S2+

I wish get every color

Please J-Dub make it happen even if it is only a small batch of hosts with side switch L2s!
:heart_eyes: :cry:

Just to clarify - I only asked about the orange light. I have no idea if this will coincide with the release of the other two colors teased here.

On paper I would love all these colors - purple, orange etc.

In reality I find the existing Convoy colors - blue, red, green - very underwhelming compared to my old Maglite AAs and C/D models.

I compare my blue Maglite to my blue S2+ and there is no comparison - the Maglite really pops and looks attractive. The Convoy looks very dull and basic.

I guess it is the polishing or surface quality which makes the difference. I would like Simon to improve this before expanding the color options.

The S2+ is not my favorite light but I think I’d buy one of each color if I could, if just for modding them later :slight_smile:

Went the @justanotherguy’s route and asked Simon if he was making the orage colored S2+ and if he’d sell me the production test. Got an answer just saying “it’s in production”

Hello.
I am also eager to enlarge my s2 + collection :slight_smile:

Photo not best, but im not master of PS :wink: Old photo, without s2 + desert tan.

Cool greys! Mine is more like the bottom one

I didn’t know they have so many different gray colors.

Me too. It came out when ordering :smiley:

I’d buy a copper S2+ :+1:

The metal I really want is stainless steel, though, for sheer indestructibility :slight_smile:

I have five S2+ lights already, but I’d buy lots of stainless steel S2+ hosts!

Where did you buy it ?

different greys might just be differences in the dye supplier, anodizing variables, there was always only one listing for gray S2+. Well, one for the complete flashlight and one for the host and one for the short tube version, but you get the idea

It’s called a Convoy S7.

I like mine, but I didn’t make it very high-powered. The steel host can’t really shed heat fast enough for high power levels to be safe. So I used a nanjg driver with 4x7135 chips and a Nichia 219b 92CRI 4750K emitter. I made my own firmware for it, which I call “S7” in the code repository — five regular modes and a bunch of blinkies, with offtime no-memory so it resets to moon whenever it’s off for more than half a second.

It works okay with a SF L2 clip, but the clip diameter is a bit wider than the host, so it sticks out a little. Can also work with some other clips depending on what style one likes.

The host has a polished surface which looks nice. It also holds up pretty well to scratches and abuse because it’s steel. It’s heavy though. Currently I’ve got mine inside a lightsaber hilt to provide weight and blade illumination, as a temporary thing until I build a proper saber driver.

I think the S7 also has double O-rings, which is awesome.
