I do not think that a copper pill will do much over the current brass pill at the 3A max current that the S2+ comes with. And it is more expensive to produce. Providing a copper pill will mainly cater tbe BLF modders that overdrive the S2+.
i ask manufacturer to produce a new batch after Chinese Spring festival,i will try to use copper pill,
the knurning of S2+ will be removed ,the style of host will be changed,
I hope to reduce costs
Following are drivers instead of body color,
7135x3, 1050mA
7153x4, 1400mA
7135x6, 2100mA
7135x8 2800mA
The head is not glued,
About the discount. Don’t use the credit card ,submit your order and close the payment page. I will adjust the amount,
NCR18650GA is a great battery,
Thanks for offering the new emitter options. The S2+ was always a good budget light, but XM-L2s aren’t exactly pretty. I maintain a popular recommendation list and I was happy to be able to add the S2+/SST-20.
FA1/4 bins for the SST-20 would be most welcome. I’ve been using FB4 from Kaidomain, and the tint is OK, but could be improved. I can add to what others have said about the 219C as well: it’s fine at 2.8A. It’s fine much higher than that, actually and can take more current without failing than the SST-20 can. (7A is fatal to an SST-20.)
I’d really like to see an official listing for the C8+ with the SST-20 and 7135x8 driver. I know it’s possible to custom order it that way, but I want to add it to my list, and it’s much easier to provide a direct link than explain a custom ordering process.
For the OP reflector, if replacement of XM-L2 emitters is considered, I would like to recommend Samsung LH351D, because that is an emitter with larger light emitting surface, and while it does not have 95 CRI options, it still has 90 CRI options for almost all preferable CCTs (6000K as well!)
For throwier lights, LH351C and LH351B is smaller and cheaper (but also can be less powerful).
Personally, I would be fine with SST-20 (page 6) FA2 tint as well, as it is closer to the black body line, but still a little bit under it. Also, I would like to request a GD2 tint, as it could be a very nice mildly warm white - and a JD3 tint could be also interesting for people who seek very low blue light emission (even more eye friendly), but still high CRI.
Interesting, I have a clear ano S2+ flashlight with a 1750mA (5×7135) driver, and I use the ‘kaidomain FB4’ SST-20 emitter. I get visibly more rosy tint with it than with a Fireflies ROT-66 FA2 on even turbo setting.
I just hope, they didn’t receive FB2 instead of FA2
Probably for SST-20, the tint is very much dependent on the driving current, and as it goes higher, it turns more rosy.
Maybe then it would worth to get FA1 tint. I would still like GD2 and JD3 very much
Most of what is listed in the spec sheet are unfortunately unavailable for purchase in small quantities. There are very few Cree 5A 5D tint hi CRI emitters that can be bought by small consumers. I did buy a XHP70.2 5D 80CRI from Kaidomain and it has a nice rosy tint but such emitters are rare to come by.
copper pill!
