I plan to use the pill from kiriba-ru in an aluminum s2 with the sst-40 5000k also from convoy and a narsil driver from lexel. The LITNIT came with a copper pill so I’ll only be using one of the spacers from kiriba-ru in that build. Based on the photos the tube threads looked more coarse and square than the aluminum s2+ (which sold me) and I suspected the same for the pill.
fwiw, i suspect the the litnit name and the emphasis was intended for the first i to be hard, as in “light’n it” similar to the hard vs soft i in the pronunciation of linux. if so, an excellent brand name.
Got my smooth copper S2+ yesterday and am pleased with the product. Machining and finish quality was just slightly below my other copper S2+ (from the first Convoy production run) but I’m not going to chase Simon for it as it’s minor.
It also came with copper pill and SST40 with ramping driver and with a Samsung 30Q it draws 7.7 amps at the tail cap! Gets hot quickly but I don’t need sustained 100% for long anyway so it’s fine with me. Very happy with the amount of light this thing throws out!
Can we get a Copper C8+ one day Simon? 
I’m hoping for a copper C8, too. Astrolux produced the C8 in copper but the host doesn’t have the nice design of the C8.

Whatever, but with standardized threads. It's a @#$% when for whatever reason shite happens.
While a tad off topic, certain manufacturers like Sofirn (for example) use propietary/different threading for their C8 flashlights, this means they don't lego with Convoy. If this happens within the same brand, $%&#€ #@%%€n$. 
I’d like to see a c8+ style light with a copper head and aluminum bezel and tube with the aluminum anodized to a color similar to the brown the astrolux s41 baked to.
Yeah I agree, the Astrolux C8 looks OK and kudos to them for doing it in brass also but the C8+ design is so much nicer in my opinion. The knurling on the C8+ is also much better than the C8 :+1:
I haven’t acquired the spacer I need to build mine yet… but I’m thinking about lockout. As this is a copper light, I assume lockout will not be achieved by merely loosing the threads a tiny bit like with anodized aluminum bodies. Is this a correct assumption? Can someone who has managed to get their light built confirm?
I am not certain if the light is coated (had to hide it until I can finish it so I don’t spoil the surprise), but I am thinking there is a .04% chance this would allow for physical lockout if it is.
I tried the lockout with my smooth version. It works with loose threads and I had to take off the tail part to power off the light.
I think only the surface has a light coating because it still shiny.
Thank you for checking!
I’m not too worried about the lack of physical lockout, but I wanted to know if a lighted tailswitch could be toggled this way. Looks like this light will not be getting AUX LEDs (fine be me… beautiful as is anyway).
I just tested the tint on the smooth copper S2+ with SST-20 2700K
With stock reflector and glass lens on max:
CCT: 2692K
DUV: 0.0027
Ra (CRI): 92.8
Blue peak: 0.24
R9: 69.0
R12: 82.0
Rf: 89
Rg: 102
With beaded optic and glass on max:
CCT: 2696K
DUV: 0.0005
Ra (CRI): 93.2
Blue peak: 0.28
R9: 71.3
R12: 84.7

With beaded optic and no glass on max:

Ra (CRI): 93.7
Blue peak: 0.33
R9: 75.0
R12: 87.0
Rf: 87
Rg: 105
The beaded optic (available from Convoy store) looks much nicer. The stock reflector makes it look very yellow and has tint shift. With no glass and beaded optic, the tint is slightly rosy (negative duv).
Simon, is the beaded optic meant for use without glass? How is waterproofing?
Moving this off the other Convoy thread…
Is there any practical use for the “faulty” square thread copper pills from Simon? Other than installing some emitter in and hanging them off the Christmas tree, ^:) that is. Suffice to say don't know what to do with them, just trying to find some creative use before throwing them away. They must be good for ≈1W of heat dissipation, doesn't it?
I only have new copper convoy so if you don’t find any use for those pills let me know.
I’ve got two short tubes and three copper pills sitting around as well. 
Haven’t decided yet if it is worth getting the new smooth copper just for using them.
Same for you.
I’d be interested in a couple of square thread s2+ copper pills from anyone with who can’t use. Currently finishing a copper thermal transfer insert for a ld-a4 triple build for a LITNIT host (kiriba-ru spacer, mtn triple mcpcb w/ lh351d 4000k 90+ cri) and a for a sst40 single build and another as a spare would be nice to have.
I didn't think about sending them abroad, even with regular mail my post office starts charging me €6.6 if I surpass 100g envelope weight to Croatia (just checked with Correos online tool). Up to 100g it is €2.45, plus maybe ≈€1.50 max for a padded envelope. I have 3 pills. Will weight the pills and ask a close friend which works at a post office, because if the shipment goes above 100g I hardly see it worth doing (3 pieces copper pills from Simon is 86.43HKR, 73.47HKR if you ask him for a discount).
Will see later. 
Yep! Time, shipping time is what i like. At the moment (for next 2 weeks) i will be on French address so if it is cheaper That could work also
id30209, there's something I will like to add:
Image: left pill with retaining ring all the way down, right pill with retaining ring screwed until it becomes very hard.
Had to check the pills. And looks like the guy which Simon relied on to make them is a bit of a bungler. One of my received pills has some imperfection in the driver retaining ring threading. I've tried to fix it, fiddling with a toothpick, a pin, even adding some grease. To some extent it has worked, there's still some way to go but it is around the same thickness as a driver board (≈1.6mm caliper measured).
You can private message me if you want them, their weight is a tad below 60g and so the shipping cost is (just) bearable.
