It appears that Nealās SS35-1 is available on BG as Dito XG1.
Thereās aluminum Dito XL1 but the BG site utterly fails to style own shop on that site, putting all the actual content off-screen. So I donāt even know the dimensions.
Quite slim for an 18350 light (22.5mm wide at head. 82mm long)
Excellent output: 1770 out-the-front (note the manufacturer claims around 2400 lumens, but itās explained somewhere in the instructions that those are emitter lumens not OTF).
Switch is small and stiff enough that lockout is not needed for regular pocket EDC. Chance of accidental activation is very low.
Biggest downsides of the DX3B:
USB cover can pop out in the pocket. Itās easy to put back into place though.
Not sure about the battery voltage indicator. It still gives 4 flashes even with the cell down to about 3.5 v
I wish someone would sell a shorty tube for DQG Tiny 4th - this would make for a really small 18350 light since the 18650 version is only 87mm long. The 18350 version would be 57mm long.
The tube is different from the S2, at least in anodizing. The top threads of the S2 shorty tube are not anodized (the edge is). On this tube the threads are all anodized! But, it if fits, maybe it works
Can you or anyone confirm the compatibility of the S2 with the S2+ 18350 tube? I donāt own any S2 but would like to try it on a short version :nerd_face:
Iām just curious to know. Have you tried both S2+ short tubes (silver and grey) with your Astrolux S41/S42, A6 maybe? Iām very familiar with the Convoy shorties, but I donāt have prebuilt Astrolux lights. I just want to know if I can try and use the Astrolux short tubes with some hosts that I have.
The threading of the Astrolux S1 short tube doesnāt fit the Convoy S2+ short tube and vice versa ā I think their threading are different, which causes both to not completely screw inside each others tubesā¦
Okay, but have you tried both silver and grey? As you can probably tell, the silver and grey Convoys do not have the same fit. For some reason, they are built differently. The silver short tube (and the desert tan color as well) are for later generations of S2+, but they seem to go well with the older S2 tube.
Here is an image: Astrolux tube on the left, Convoy on the right!
The threads donāt match and donāt fit. Well, at least not in my Convoy S2+ flashlights!
EDIT: thanks d_t_a for confirming those matches on the tubes :+1:
Would you care to compare the silver or desert tan (sand) with the Astrolux? Iām more interested in the front thread or the front end for the head. The whole tailcap assembly can be bought anyway, at least for the S41/S42.
I donāt have any Astrolux flashlight, only the tube (I bought it ācause I thought it would fit an headlamp I have, to make it shortyā¦It didnāt fit :person_facepalming: )!
Canāt help with that mate :zipper_mouth_face:
