【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Thanks for the beam shot! Makes me even more excited to receive mine seeing it in action!

And no worries about the comment, I get being tired. Definitely no need to go back and fix it :+1:

6.6A is the max in the specs and 8A - 10A pulsed.

I tested it using that ramping driver from Convoy.

- 50E 3.8v 6A = 1200 ish

- 50E for 7A = 1313

  • 40T for 8A = 1318

djozz tested an early chip from hank and he said his peaked at 7A, my testing confirms it. Even at turn on it didn’t go above 1380.

That’s very disappointing that it’s not really any improvement over the cslpm1

djozz tested XP-G3 Photo Red. If SST-20-DR performs similarly to XP-G3 Photo Red (it probably does), it does not seem useful to push the LED beyond 3A.

….yes, but I’m talking about the driver which is only pushing 2.5A

Received my L21A CULPM1… I will say nothing more you can ask for with such price tag.

IMHO, the L21A CULPM1 is probably the best value for money pencil beam thrower thus far. If not, at least for now.

Questions for Simon:

Let's say I would like to get a Convoy L2 smooth replacement reflector. The part is not for sale, which is weird because all other reflectors are (L6, M1, M2, M3, M21C, M26C, and so on). So, how do I order something like this? Custom order? How does it work?

Are you still offering discounts?

Thanks in advance.

I will add the link as soon as possible.
L2 has two kinds, 9mm bottom hole for 5050 and 3535 LED, 11mm bottoom hole for 7070 LED

Orange-yellow Osram just showed up in store :)

If we could get royal blue CSLNM1.14 That would be great. All colors covered

Anybody knows the wavelength of this?

Thanks

Just look it up in the specs document:

See page 8 and there you go.

It is not monochrome, it has a wide spectrum, because its light is phosphor converted from a deep blue base emitter. Almost all deep blue is gone, and what you get is slight green and a fair amount of red/deep red as well, besides the dominant wavelengths.

Thanks guys for quick jump in. I’m not good at reading specs, so your rescue was right in time.
But I should have studied the picture better.
Anyway, the diode is in my shopping cart already.
I’m thinking of an anti - fog flashlight but I’d like to ask what do you think.
Which one can get through the fog better, monochrome 590nm or “composed” with dominant 590nm? I also have XP-E2 with monochrome 590nm….

I just noticed Simon added S2+ body colors we haven’t seen before, deser tan, green, cyan...

Maaaan, one of the few good things in this crapy year is Convoy store for sure.

Well done Simon!

I think, both of them will be similarly effective regarding fog penetration, but with the converted one, you will be able to see a few different colors as well, so overall, a bit more information, better detail recognition.

Looking at the spec sheet, this tint is not as powerful as the “pure green” variant (which is also a phosphor converted wider spectrum one), also, it starts to lose output, when being warmed up, so about 1.5A to 2.5A would be the best current for it to be driven with.

Thanks, useful hints. I’m planning a small backup light, so amperage is fine. :beer:

What you comprehend as best thrower fog colour also can be explained by which colour is the easiest for the human eye to process. This also explains why car fog lights are yellow. They are not allowed to be red, green or blue, because of the traffic lights. And they don’t want all kinds of different fog light colours in the traffic like pink, cyan, violet, turquoise etc. Therefor the improvised standard for fog lights is yellow (3000K). So for a flashlight to be used as a fog light outside the traffic, red or green may still be the best, as these correspond to the red and green receptors in the eye.

Hm? I had my green S2+ for years, and got hosts and shorty-tubes in cyan (and orange and purple).

Different shades, maybe?

(I’ve been trying to avoid AX for a while…)

I thought same thing. Have seen cyan, blue, green , purple before. Maybe not desert though

Hmmm. Interesting approach. I own a couple of red lights. I’ll buy, test with the other colors and let you know… Wow, red foggy light reminds me horror movies.
