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.
17mm and 22mm driver for SST40 will be available soon ,it’s suitable for XHP50 3V,too
frosted glass lens is interesting ,i think i can let the manufacturer to produce some
I ordered a grey S2+ with a 4000K Ra95 SST20 and 4x7135 driver from Banggood and have received an e-mail from them stating:
“We’re sorry to inform you that the preorder for item ID:1420655 [Gray Convoy S2+ SST20 7135*8 7135*6 18650…] was delayed due to the manufacturing process.”
This is a clear C8, not a C8. But if no clear C8 available as host, I would take a few clear C8 hosts as well - just I think, a C8+ as host like these, but with clear anodization + translucent tailcap could be awesome good :partying_face:
(And I have a few LED stars and drivers piled up, so I would definitely need hosts.)
