I would buy (10) 22mm to 17mm adapters. I understand you may need many more than that to justify the cost of making the adapters. I have many used 26650 cells that I would like to sell on with an inexpensive host. The newer 21700 cells seem to outperform the 26650 in every way that I can see and are manufactured by the major players.
My morning routine on my pc consist of checking my emails and then looking to see if any Convoy 21700 flashlights are available.
MascaratumB: adam7027: Simon Mao:only clear 18650 C8+ in stock currently ,sorry
the color of 21700 C8+ is black ,and it needs 20mm driver
Can you give me link for the Clear anodized 18650 C8+ ?
Could it be this?…

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.)
Sorry! I indicated those as the silver/clear C8+ are not available at Convoy Store! They are different but the C8+ is not listed (currently)!
Maybe Simon can say something like that !
Simon Mao: Inkidu: Simon Mao: Satan@103TFS:Simon could you include 22 to 17 mm. driver adapter in the package?
Currently no adapter,sorry
I was wondering the same thing. A 17mm Led4power driver + Luxeon Mz might be good match for this host. Give me a chance to use the MosDTP 4040 board (copper not aluminum)
i will consider to produce some adapters if many guys need it

I would also like to buy some of those 22 to 17 mm adjustment rings, because I like the plain 1 mode 3x7135 driver. A 22 mm board with room to solder a number of 7135 would be a nice alternative as well, so to put on 3, 4, 5…8 of the 7135 on it. My main use of most of the S2+ I have is to lighten my interior on specific spots, and I always use the same settings for that, so little need for many modes in that user scenario.
Unless…. the ramping driver has a higher efficiency than 7135 when using a single battery like in the S11. In that case I’ll go for your new ramping driver
Being able to tailstand fairly well is one plus of the 26650 format. Also, has good capacity. Add a plain, robust, inexpensive amc7135 17mm driver and a diffuser and you could have a lantern in the tint of your choice.
Simon Mao:sounds like Convoy L4,
it’s better to make a new model

The problem with e-switches on this size of light and usb charging in general is that they are normally built onto the driver board and make driver swaps difficult.
One of the best things about Convoy’s is ease of modding, why take that away?

Totally agree. Keep it straightforward moddable!

Simon Mao: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.
I wish you success!
Which flashlight is that?
Which flashlight is that?
Zebralight SC52F.
Simon,
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 the same product on your website.
Is there a manufacturing issue? I’m asking so i can decide whether to wait or cancel the order and order directly from your site instead.
No any issue with manufacturing,
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.
Hmm, wonder about “pineapple” knurling like on the TK05.
Fewer, wider cuts, probably less scrap.

That is a great idea! I really like that pineapple look.

Looking at the Ali Express pill picture of the S11, maybe the driver retaining ring could be flipped around. And it would create a smaller shelf you could solder the driver to. You would need to carefully cut slots on the inner diameter of the ring so you could tighten it down. What are the dimensions of the retaining ring? Looks larger than a 17mm opening but there are a few 17mm To 20mm Brass Adapter Rings on Ebay.
Thanks for any help.i will consider to produce some adapters if many guys need it

I'll take some for myself as well when the link will be up :)

Which brand does the tk05 model belong to?
Thorfire. Also there's other flashlights with the pineapple knurling like the Thrunite Catapult V6, etc.
