Hi and welcome to BLF Vortexbig :partying_face:
First warning, prepare your pockets :money_mouth_face:
Yup, the Convoy S2+ Copper seems to be out of stock right now. Maybe it will be re-added later! Or you can send a message on AliExpress to the seller (Simon Mao) and ask him about the availability!
About the metal switch in that light, please note that it is only available with the rubber button.
This version’s host is a “normal” one, not like the “Desert Tan” or the “Silver” with black metal button.
To put the metal switch in the “normal” hosts…it is possible (see here or here ), but the tailcap structure has to be modded. It can be done, but…I still don’t know how
About modding, I’ll only speak for my experience: I bought the “full” light and then started by replacing the LEDs, then the drivers. I guess many people here may have started other way, so I hope they can share!!
I think the only real difference is you miss out on using a retaining ring on the driver pill. I hate soldering drivers to pills and will choose a retaining ring whenever possible. Stock S2+ lights come with the driver soldered to pill and no ring.
Hell yes please! The only reason I didn’t get your copper S2+ is because of the knurling. I don’t really like how it looks, actually I don’t like it on any light to be honest, just doesn’t look good. If it’s just plain, I’d probably get a couple!
Simon, I really want to buy a bunch of T2 for modding but I don’t like the driver. Can you consider improving the driver to be like the one on the Reylight TiLan and Brass AA? Reylight have the best AA flashlight rear clicky UI/driver I’ve used. The Sofirn SF14 comes in second. They have no PWM.
In case a completely new driver (which would happen there were to be no PWM) is not feasable, perhaps the current driver can be changed to a higher PWM frequency, anything over 5000 Hz should be a vast improvement.
And when the software for the T2 is adapted anyway, the double-click timing for strobe should be much shorter so that when clicking twice to get from low to high does not result in strobe (like what happens to everyone with the current T2).
