I compared the flashlight with the L6 XHP70.2. From the naked eye, the brightness of the two is similar. I feel that this sample of mine is a little greenish, which should be due to the lack of red phosphor. Its light spot is relatively uniform, and there is no yellow-green on the edge of the light spot like XHP70.2.
I don’t have a spectrum tester, so I don’t know its true color rendering. If anyone has relevant test equipment and is interested in making a detailed review, please contact me and I will send samples for free.

i got 2pcs XHP35HI driver sample several days before.
I planned to upload some photos here ,buy Damn VPN! ….
I can only share some data here.
Output current of the driver 15mA – 211mA -871mA-2290mA
diameter of the driver is 22mm
i installed this driver in L21A ,bin of XHP35 HI is D4-40E, and i got 170000 lux, theoretical lighting distance 824meters

Before that, everyone felt that the adjustment of the ramping driver was too much trouble. Now I provide a simple mode 0.1%-3%-30%-100%,max current output is 5000mA.This mode can meet most people’s needs and is easy to operate. ,
Its biggest advantage is that no frequency can be seen in any mode, and there is temperature management.
It can control the flashlight temperature not to exceed 55 degrees Celsius,
If the flashlight temperature is below 55 degrees Celsius, it will output full current. If it is above 55 degrees Celsius, it will constantly adjust the current so that the flashlight will not overheat.
I plan to install this driver and SST40 LED into the S2+ host, which has brightness of 1800LM, which meets some people’s needs for small and bright flashlights.

Hey Simon, I think there is something wrong with your shipping info. All lights say $57.54 to ship to Canada with no other option available?
something wrong with the aliexpress system,
although strike stopped for a long time, but the system still dont supply air mail shipping option.
i have a paypal account, you can leave me the screen capture of your cart on aliexpress
Hi Simon what gasket you use for C8+ and S2+ (nichia version)?
Ok thanks.
Hi Simon, nice to see you here. Can a 8*7135 driver be ordered for the C8+ ?
Hi Simon,
could you please specify the flux bin of the leds?
Guys, it’s much simpler to message him on AliExpress.
A good and very welcomed step forward, Simon
i dont recommend 7135*8 ,friend

People use a FET driver for the 219C all the time. The 219C current rating is very conservative. It’s unlikely that 2.8A will cause any issue as long as the MCPCB has DTP.
uh,i just dont recommend
I have used a 219c in an S2+ for a few years now at 2,8A.
It gives a very nice beam, but after a couple of minutes, it gets hot though.
Any chance for a stainless steel L6 bezel Simon?
And a lighted sideswitch as a spare part?
WTB: Jetbeam TCR-1 or Sunwayman V10R Ti
No problem with production of the bezel, i just think few people demands it.
i had driver with lighted side switch before,
I have those gaskets. Thanks
Great to see you on BLF Simon!
Nice you started offering high-cri convoys. However most producers seem to implement the SST-20 or LH351D high-cri leds instead of the somewhat oldish 219C.
Imho the OP reflector should be by default in the S2+ instead of the SMO since the S2+ is an allrounder/EDC light, not a thrower.
Please consider using the well regarded and desired XPL HI 5D or 5A with a nice tint instead of the ugly and yellow XPL HI U6-4C.
Emisar sells the 5D with great success.

Maybe we should open a new thread with requests, to see what people like.
On this way Simon can see what might be a succesful lights.
We all love convoy, since it it is proven quality an its mod-ability friendlyness, with a bunch of spare parts to change the light to our wishes.
I would like for example a single cell light like a Emisar D4 from convoy, with Narsil UI but with a smooth Stainless steel bezel (like the Jaxman E2L.)
It would be nice to have the option for multi or single emitter with optics or reflector (like Emisar has multiple choices)
Or something like a XHP50 on a single cell from Convoy with a new sleek design.

Hey Simon, any plans for making some new lights next year with 21700/26650 format ? thanks.

For XP-L HI 5A/5D, I would like to mention this Cree code:
XPLAWT-H0-0000-000HU60E5
This is just one bin lower than the 70/75 CRI options of the same CCT, 5A/5D with this 80 CRI option could be nice.
For XP-L HI 3D/4A, I think, one of these codes would be the best:
XPLAWT-H0-0000-000LV20F4
XPLAWT-H0-0000-000LV20E4
This is a bit better with 75 CRI – the 70 CRI options are of the same performance bin, so this could be a nice option.
With these two options above, 3A/3B and 4C tints could be replaced.
Speaking about new flashlights, I think, a single (or double serial) 21700 flashlight with d = 22mm driver would be nice.

Ah, good to see that
I could even imagine an optional interchangeable head for it with an L2 sized reflector.
Thanks,i will consider to use SST20 or LH351D ,too
S2+ is not a thrower even installing SMO reflector,but the OP reflector can make the light spot even.
5D and 5A is a little redish ,i will try them
what about this
i’m ready to launch an new model ,single cell ,XHP50.2
it seems not meet your requirement,I can refer to your request and design an flashlight with side switch and stainless steel bezel and type-C port,
what battery are you ready to use?
