For small lights, I like start in moonlight since I use my flashlights in the middle of the night and dont want a blinding light. It would be good if theres an option to enable or disable moonlight mode like in the Reylights.
I like the simple UI of some of the Olights - from off, hold button to enter moonlight mode, a normal press goes to memory, and double press to turbo. When on, holding cycles through L/M/H (or ramping, either or).
Nice and simple, then throw all the config stuff up the top.
Amen to that :) My favorite UI so far would be the Sofirn C8F, pretty much similar to the olights, at least in ramping mode which is the only mode I'm using on it since I've got it as it's the most intuitive one, the one mode that made the most sense to me. I have the tail click with mechanical on/off (still has the memory of the last used mode) then the side e-switch click for on/off, hold for ramping, hold from off to moonlight, double click from on/off to turbo and triple click from on/off to strobe (which I could very much do without.. I'd rather have a beacon mode instead of any other disco mode on a light)
It’s what’s stopped me from buying a bunch of different lights - priority one is emitter temp, priority two is UI. I can’t reconcile the Zebralight UI or I’d consider one
So hopefully the S11 is nice and simple, and we can all enjoy a nice 26650 that just works how it should!
A few months earlier I mentioned, that I would happily buy a certain variant of Convoy C8+ (probably repeatedly if I can get some interest locally for it).
Can I tell my wish about it regarding the details?
I would be interested in a C8+, which is:
- Clear anodized
- Has the traditional tail cap, but it has translucent button
- Has support for 21700 battery
Driver support is also traditional (but if it is larger, no problem - just please keep 17mm driver support as well)
That's great news Simon! :-) Will there be different versions of the C8+ 21700, e.g. tailclicky only, tailclicky + e-side-switch, e-side-switch only? Do you plan to offer both host version and full flashlight?
Simon said earlier he want to get rid of knurling on S2+ because it is the reason for a lot of scrapped host. So this will be the new design instead of old knurling.
Whatever that is I would say it would look good with some hex nut like shape on the bottom part of the business end and the tail cap, either cut into, or even better, protruding from the base material, as anti roll design, something like what Nitecore for ex. on the EC11, MT20C, etc.
And about the C8+ 21700,since it came to it lately, I'd like to see an XHP35 HI/HD versions with a boost driver if possible. Also, if it's not really out of the ballpark and still possible, maybe with a side e-switch and the same ramping UI like the Sofirn C8F.
sounds like Convoy L4,
it’s better to make a new model
tactical button (Flashlight can not stand upside down ), side switch, micro-usb or type-c charging port.
Hello Simon.
I would like to add my wishes on new models of Convoy:
A new emitter XHP50 3 volts has appeared. And I think this is a great opportunity to update old models with an XML2 emitter. Most likely you will not need to make any changes to the old models except for changing the emitter to the XHP50 3 volts, since the xm-l has the same footprint, as the xhp50. And most XM-L optics will work with XHP50 3 volts.
Please consider this opportunity. I would really like to see Convoy S3 and Convoy M1 with emitters XHP50 3 volts.
Produce frosted glass for existing models of flashlight.
