That’s rough. You may need a new driver, or to re-flash this one.
That’s all I can come up with at this point. 
Thanks for the responses to the ‘cry for help’…. :+1:
Seems that your driver is malfunctioning…
You may have to replace it, maybe contact Simon ?
I think you are correct - X3 -. I am gonna contact Simon & see if he will send me another driver. Probably order a host or two while I am at it also. 
Again, thanks to everyone for trying to help sort this out. :+1:
I think Simons strategy here is brilliant - these are superb hosts, and it makes economic sense to simply keep upgrading the drivers and emitters. Constantly changing styling, simply for its own sake, is expensive and unnecessary. Just ask Olight.
I’ll choose function (and value) over form every time. Convoy lights just work!
WORD. It also has two advantages: it makes the line timeless, and most of the hosts can pretty much be made on a lathe alone. Even the new ones.
I put a lighted reverse clickie in mine and forgot that I can’t program it with one of those. No way to do a half click from off.
At least my memory is on!
Well said!! I totally agree…. :+1:
My Biscotti update. It was for sure the driver that was screwed up on my M1.
I got a C8+ today that has Biscotti & the UI works exactly as it is supposed to. First time, every time. . 
Very glad to know I was not loosing my touch or… my mind. .
There was a buggy batch of Biscotti drivers where everything ran twice as fast as it should, i.e. short half-presses were really short, so it was hard to configure.
Drivers with that behaviour still crop up from time to time, so I have a nasty feeling some of them got mixed into Simon’s general stock before he could pull them.
Fortunately, Simon will be happy to send you a replacement driver.
I have those “defective” drivers on my M1 (yay, relevant post!) and newer S2. I find them to be the perfect speed for me - the “correct” drivers take forever to get to the mode group that I want :confounded:
Now it makes sense, I found that the 4*7135 Biscotti that I bought few months ago were really fast. I prefer that but you got to be reactive to use it for sure
Not totally relevant, but in addition to the M1 &M2, Convoy briefly offered an L1 that used either 1 or 2 18650s (with the included extension) and ran an LD29 driver. The head is a bit bigger than the M1, and the reflector is deeper. The tube handles two protected 18650b’s with ease, with a plunger tailcap and a tail switch that takes serious thumb power to activate.
I don’t know why they dropped it, except that it might have been too expensive to build or fit in with their product line. I have one, and it’s a tank! It’s another whole level of build quality over the M2, and I see the M2 as outstanding.
If you ever come across an L1 in good shape, don’t pass it up. I know for sure I’ll be upgrading drivers and emitters in this one for years to come.
Many users have the new Convoy M1 and M2 torches. I also have it
On the weekend I will try to compare the old and new version as I did with Convoy s2+ . I hope you will want to see the video
Left old one, right new.
Convoy M1
Convoy M2
Don’t forget to mention that you can also request a Nichia 219C upon purchase too, yes?
Yes, or even an SST-20 for maximum throw potential 
do tell… hmm interest piqued
Well, the SST-20 is about 30% throwier on average per lumen compared to the XP-L HI.
So, with something like an Convoy C8(65kcd), since efficiency of the XP-L HI is about the same as the SST-20 5000k, the SST-20 would be easily making 85kcd without any change whatsoever.
With Nichia, it’s probably only when you talk to Simon. I do not see this option in the default selection. That’s what you mean ?
Can someone recommend a shop with a cheap Luminus SST-20 ? I think I will need one to buy for the test
Hey.
