convoy m1 and m2

Yes, or even an SST-20 for maximum throw potential :smiley:

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 :slight_smile:

Hey.

First video - Convoy M1 comparison (old and new version)

  • Short review
  • Outside test
  • Beamshot

No English subtitles at least?

Sorry, translation of the whole film is impossible for me. I will try to write about the differences on my site, diodek.pl and then you can use a translator to read it. I invite you to watch from this moment Latarka Convoy M1 - porównanie starej i nowej wersji (4K) [Review, test & beamshot Convoy M1] - YouTube
I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi.
M2 comparison here. You have a field test video under this link.

BlueSword…
Ok, I want max punch/throw… M1 or M2…? and request an SST-20?

I appreciate your guidance

Definitely the M1. It has a wider head and bigger reflector, so the spot is tighter. The M2 is more on the floody side.

Yep… the M1 is one of my all time favorite lights!! I prefer it hands down to the M2. To me the M1 looks better too. :+1:

M1, SST-20 then?

Love the M1 too, it looks and feels pretty amazing. Still plan on getting an M2 with the 5700K Nichia. Then I’ll see if I agree with you completely :wink:

I’d say so. It won’t exactly match a C8, but still should be pretty throwy.

I asked Simon for the sst-20, 5000k
He only has 4000k, but he responded like this:

If you just need narrow beam. You can choose cree xpl hi U6-3A

XPL HI, narrow beam, but ultimately the sst-20 will out throw it….?

Buy osram white flat and gaskets from Hank (intl-outdoor), M2 host and 3000mA driver from Simon and stack some more 7135 chips. This will outthrow every other M2 mod :D.

This sounds ideal, but is outside …My capabilities………….?

Do you have the ability to solder?

Sorry if I did not remember about the fact that Simon only sells 95CRI LEDs.

I would just get the 5000k SST-20 on 20mm PCB from Intl Outdoor:

what is the reflector diameter at the buttom 7 or 9 mm?

How can I contact Simon on bang good?

Simon is on Ali https://convoy.aliexpress.com/store/330416
