【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Hmm yes, but it is not that much longer, and have some pros. E.g. with 4 modes, being on 1-st you have instant access to 4-th (let’s say 100%) and 2-nd, only mode you have to press - wait while it changes (about 0,5s) - press is 3-rd.

About 3 years ago I bought Solarforce L2P from a guy that modifies flahlights as a hobby, but I asked him to buy that driver lately, and no answer

It tooks years to Simon to changes the Convoy 3/5 modes UI to Biscotti that was already existing and ready to be flashed, just like Bistro with ascending/descending UI which is a bit “better” in my opinion than Biscotti, but still not used.
Toykeeper also proposed to help to improve Convoy driver and UI, but remained dead letter.
Then how much chance for your list of fonctions to be implemented from scratch ?

I don’t want to discourage you, years ago it took me quite some time to convince solarforce to make a SS bezel protecting the front (L2-B6 bezel) of the L2 series instead of the default SS recessed bezel and Xenoled to use neutral and warm white LEDs and change the default “tactical” UI with High to Low modes order for L to H.
But at least I had conversations with them, Simon is on another level (no offense intended).

That said, we have had movement in discussing most enthusiasts prefer reverse clicky from a UI standpoint :slight_smile:

Plus OP reflector for dedicated long/medium range flood flashlight…

A nicer tints selection 6500k-5000k-4000k…
Kit with battery?uhm…

M3 1, 10, 40, 100
other 0,1, 3, 30, 100

I finally found this UI and will contact the guy who makes it, maybe I can get only driver, without flashlight :slight_smile:
So if Convoy or anyone else don’t want to have it, at least I will get it :smiley:

It’s very common in polish custom dual/triple channel drivers. It works pretty damn well, I would argue it’s superior over long-press for a couple of reasons. It’s fast and as Mocarny stated, you can’t really get it wrong, while I keep holding the switch too long or too short while using Biscotti. Here you have a short video demonstrating it:

It’s this super-customisable UI: Sterownik driver LED 4,2/2,8A programowalny extended v3.5 HE - www.swiatelka.pl
Also the one Mocarny is talking about. The google chrome translation is very good.

But I think we all agree that Simon’s driver need a way to descend modes, either by long press or by double click.

Simon, could I order S11 with xhp70.2 ?

Reflector hole is 7mm iirc, so most likely won’t fit.

What would be good in it? M3 gets pretty hot in High mode, and it can’t even run a minute on maximum, because the driver and the LED gets so hot. In the end, M3 provides as much light (in high) as a normal S11 (in max).

I am not interested in the turbo mode, I need more flood light in a more compact body S11.

I have done some rather extensive testing with double press, but for boost mode, not previous mode. It was brought to my attention in a thread I made asking for these kind of things: Driver giveaway: Constant current 17mm drivers, winners (finally) announced, post #2. (double tap discussion started at post #123).

So I have to disagree a little. I noticed with double press on a clicky that you can go wrong. There is a timing issue that must be dealt with, and that is you have to have a time difference between double press and two single presses. If I want to go up two modes I need to do two single presses. If I do them too fast they are interpreted as a double press. Too me this timing distinction faces the exact same issues as short press vs long press. I implemented it and settled on 200ms time limit for double press.

Believe me, I have tested this stuff a lot. I don’t get short press vs long press wrong. If the time limits are set fine, and you have hardware to support exact timing (like OTSM), messing up short press and long press is as difficult for me as it is for you to mess up double press vs two single presses. With that said, I now have support for double press so I’ll have a look at making a UI that uses it for previous mode. I have the space for it.

Interesting, thanks for posting. I’ll have a closer look at that, might give me some suggestions.

Anyhow, this is a Convoy thread, I should stop hijacking it.

sorry ,the reflector is not suitable

Hello Simon, is Convoy going to add 21700 and 18650 cells? It would be very good to have 1 stop shopping from Convoy.

What are the run times for the 4 brightness settings for the S21A?

I'll post some graphs when mine arrives in a couple of weeks. I generally do runtime graphs on ALL my new lights.

Don't think I've seen Simon list runtimes.

Do we know beam intensity (cd) for S21A yet?

Description of S11 XHP50.2 states “maximum output 3A” and yet it delivers 2400 lumen? Is this correct??

Yep - should be on the money. 6V @ 3A, 18W…
