【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Headlamp sounds great. Once the firmware is changed to the new UI and we get good neutral, maybe high cri, I’ll pick up a few.

GB will sell H1 soon ,and there’s a good price i think

Thanks Simon!

Do you already know what optics you would like to use? It would be great if it was compatible with Yajiamei optics.
For example with this:
Frosted Yajiamei optics

This is PERFECT EDC flashlight of 21 century: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=lt&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.fonarevka.ru%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D31892
If you can build something very similar only for like 30$ or just get right driver :https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=lt&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.fonarevka.ru%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D37158 I”ll will buy it ;))

Did I get it right?

the first link talks about a headlamp with Hi CRI XHP50+ Carclo 10140

the second link is a H02 and H03 with a custom driver?

I’m assuming “kk” is tap, and “dk” is hold…

I see everything rhymes with AK :slight_smile:

I like the frosted lens idea! Will it be available to buy on your aliexpress shop?

Um. I don’t decide which one yet. It is easy to buy them in China. I will select the appropriate one.

it’s easy to find them in China ,what degree do you need?

Then, my suggestions for 20mm × 12.8mm Yajiamei optics:

Clear surface:

- all of them should be checked for each unique LEDs to be used with, because beam artifacts would be visible depending on light emitting surface shape and textures

- also, less suitable to mix tint of the LED

- 5 degree variant gives the most throw

  • negligible spill outside the hotspot, most of the light is focused in the hotspot (or there is a small corona as well)

Beaded surface:

- handles the different LED emitting surfaces very good, mixes tint better

- negligible spill, but it is a bit more than spill of the clear surface, also, slightly textured

  • my personal choices: 10 or 15 degree gives very good throw; 25 degree is the best for general usage; 38 degree is a bit floody, above that, definitely floody, but still defined hotspot

Frosted surface:

- handles different LED emitting surfaces very well, even the worse ones (best tint mixing ability)

- much more light is present in the spill

  • my personal choices: 15 degree gives a nice, conical profile gradually strengthening hotspot, 30 degree is already noticeably floodier; 85 degree feels like an extreme flooder (almost no hotspot perceived)

I regularly use Yajiamei optics in S2+, so my recommendations would go for:
flashlight: 10 and 25 degree beaded, 15 degree frosted
headlamp: 38 degree beaded, 30 degree frosted (also, 60 degree beaded and 45 degree frosted, if more flood is required - e.g. for close range hand work)

I do not know how to explain, translucent.
For S3, C8 and S11 :slight_smile:

Nobody discussing the most important issue. Headband color!

I vote for black band with gray “Convoy” text, please use the font from the s9/mk.

+1 :smiley:

unfortunately,i didnt get SST40 5000K
ramping driver is ready
here is the link of flashlight

Looking good any C8+ 21700 soon ?

I like the demo video! But i think it’s wrong… it starts in third mode, shouldn’t this be first mode?

Simon the S11 is a nice size. Easier to hold for me and offers some more heat sinking. The upcoming 21700 S2+ will be sure to please. I wanted to share that a 20mm driver would fit into the driver ring if it is flipped over and soldered. Thanks.

Any update on the 22mm to 17mm adapter?
