Simon. Off subject a little.
I ordered and got a C8+ recently.
Ordered Desert sand. Got a chocolate brown. (dark chocolate)
I did send a note on Paypal page but never got an answer
but I didn’t want to cause a stir
What would it cost me for a head and body in Desert sand Del to Australia.
Sorry for the unpleasantness, there are differences in oxidation color due to different oxidation batches.
I can make some compensation, or give some small gifts next time.
I’ll send Simon Photo in daylight tomorrow (6.30 pm Fri here now)
It’s probably between the two lower photo’s there.
Compared to the light desert Tan on sales page when buying
and I expected.
Anyway this t’ween Simon and self.
Back to L2.
I have stock one. to go with my stock L6 and couldn’t be happier with either.
Great torches for standard people like myself.
I’ve tried soldering some but end up “dead” mostly.
at 77 too clumsy anymore I think, Overcook?? whatever.
so I just enjoy what I got.
I’ve ordered an L2 hopefully not too long until receiving
Ordered an L6 from banggood awhile ago and the battery tube ring was missing. They argued that it comes without it now lol. After 5-6 emails they sent me a whole new L6 . Messaged Simon and he’s sent me the part free !!! I got a free L6
My experience before was not so good — I ordered a Convoy L2 before, when BG had it in flash sale. Package arrived but was missing the 18650-to-26650 adapter rings (supposed to come with 4pcs adapter rings — which I checked from other people’s reviews).
I complained to Banggood, and they sent me just 1pc adapter ring only (instead of 4pcs which I mentioned)! In our country’s Post Office system, receiving any package thru the Postal System, even a small package like just the 18650-to-26650 adapter ring, there is a “tax” or “fee” of around $2. So, the replacement 1pc adapter ring actually added $2 to my cost. I just didn’t it worthy to ask BG to send me the 3 additional adapter rings (where I have to pay another $2 again just to receive the package…)
I hadn’t thought of mentioning that to Simon, instead I ordered/paid for the 18650-to-26650 adapter rings from Simon’s AliExpress store…
It looks like the “Banggood flash sale” items has quite a big chance of missing some stuff…
Simon.
How about selling just the complete latest head for the L2.
To update the original XP-L’s.
Just for us clumsy old farts that seem to burn it out every time I try to do it.
There’d be others in same position as Me I’d think?.
Weld. Not a problem. Solder Hmmmm.
I estimate around the same throw as XP-L HI version but more spill and bigger spot. But soon I will get mine from Simon and I will make some measurements.
Driver manufacturer sent me a xhp35 driver sample to me , but it only outputs 1000mA.
I think it’s big enough, Limited by size,i want apply xhp35 in L6 host with 2A xhp35 driver.
