【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

It’s just a matter of personal preference. 4000K is more on the warm side. 5000K is considered to be neutral white. But both render colors very well.

I wanted to go 4000k (which I already did for my T2, on the way to me), until I read some stories about 4000k being too green.

I find the couple of 5000k I have to be more green than the 4000, but ymmv.

If you can do it, I’d recommend the 5000k then slice the dome off

No slicing for me :slight_smile:
I don’t want to break it, immediatelly after getting.

But that’s the tinkerer’s way

What about 3500?

I keep hearing how 2700 is just beautiful, but didn’t hear much about 3500

“Is the tint ok?”
“Dunno. I swapped the emitter as soon as the flashlight arrived.” :innocent:

thefreeman did a thorough study of the slicing effects in beam profile and intensity for the LH351D emitter:

LH351D slicing measurements : output, tint, tint shift, beam profile, intensity.

Esentially speaking 1mm is the sweet spot, with the highest intensity gains and the most consistent CCT and DUV vs angle results.

Just get some 1mm washer(s) or a feeler gauge set to aid you in guiding the razor blade.

Is the slicing height the distance between the PCB and the top of a washer sitting on it?

I.e. A recommended 1mm slicing height would simply be: place a “1mm thick washer” on the PCB around an LED and use it as a guide to slice the top of the dome off.

I only ask to rule out measuring from the top/square bit of the LED to the top of the dome. :student:

Yes that is TimMc, place a 1mm thick washer around the emitter just over the MCPCB, and use it as a slicing guide. You remove most of the dome, but still leave a protective layer on the led. It should sort of look like an XP-L HI emitter.

Available @ Simon’s Ali store

Actually, I don’t see any point in S21A since S21B became available - it beats S21A in both looks and functionality.

Purchase is not obligatory. Buy what you like. But you would be surprised how well old models sell.

Clear switch cap would be better imo.

I'd say “just different”.

Rubber cap allows installation of a lighted tailcap.

Hello Simon,
Since I modded my Z1 with a 4 LEDs 10W IR emitter … so now I’d like to “know” when it lighten up or turned off (without looking directly at the LEDs which emit a dim red when ON) : could it be possible to get a lighted switch that would fit the Z1?

thank you

Had to goggle the light to see a pic of the switch. Looks like the SS switch that comes on the colored-body S2+es.

There’s a translucent ring around the button that can leak out some light, so while it wouldn’t be bright, you could swap in a lighted-switch board underneath for a perfectly usable indicator ring.

Or drill out and rethread the hole to use the blue-lit rubber-capped switch (on the Convoy website).

Point being, don’t think there’s a lit SS switch that’d be a drop-in fit.

I could swear i saw SS switches with lighted transcent plastic around the switch...

I hope somebody can confirm and add some info as well

The metal switches have a bit of transparent plastic around them, but it requires a lot more light to shine through.
