【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Umm, like I said… :laughing:

Can someone explain the difference between the S21A and S21B?

Sorry if am asking again but English is not my first language...so about what part you were talking about exactly?

SS tailswitch, like on colored S2+es.

That seems to have extra plastic around it though. Not a standard S2+ switch…

Ok, lol, that i am aware of. Have it here...

Guy in video have some kind of a plastic around the SS switch that shows some light which my S2+ doesn’t have...

And i’m still confused with your answer.

Exactly. Thx oweban for pointing it out

Point being, might be possible to undo any retaining ring, swap the switch-board for a lit switch-board if it fits (might need a washer or something if not), and let the light leak through.

What’s the difference between the s21a and S21b?

Based on the pictures, the S21A is like the S2+, whereas the S21B is like the S11.
Other than that, they seem to have the same UI options and similar emitter options. (The S21B does have some OSRAM variants though.)
The S21A also has an OP reflector while the S21B has a smooth one, but that might be customizable if you placed the order with Simon.

So the difference is just the host shape? They both use the same battery, and I guess either can use any of the choices of emitter and reflector that Simon offers.

Just trying to clarify.

Would be nice if someone could come up with a chart for all the different convoy hosts and what their names mean :smiley:

I tried that a while ago. It was…… painful.

Generally, I think Simon meant S, M, and L names to represent small, medium, and large. The numbers in the early days used to be random/sequential according to their design and/or release date. Now, it appears the numbers refer to battery configuration mostly and suffix letters are now the version indicator based on time of design/release. It’s confusing when legacy names / models are still popular (S2+, M2, L6 etc.).

For example, the M21 series are all “medium” sized lights, and use a 21700. The “A” was released first, and there are B and C variants that came after. Unfortunately for those trying to associate the name to a design, they are not in order of size. Small to large goes B to A to C.

S21B accepts 22mm driver and its PCB base is integrated shelf instead of pill, while S21A accepts 20mm driver and uses pill.

Yeah I’ve been able to figure it out mostly based on the photos and random forum posts. In some of the previous models in his Shop he even writes it in the picture/listing (for e.g. M21A - C8+ 21700 version). Would be convenient if that were done on all the relevant models but is probably a lot of work.

Awesome! That helps a lot - thanks :slight_smile:

I am producing a lighted switch with a diameter of 20mm

Someone tried to put the 21700 battery in the Convoy S11? It works? Will the positive terminal of the battery not deform?

It’s generally not worth lighting the stainless switches. it requires so much current to even be visible that it’s just a battery drain IMO.

excellent ! I’ll order one as soon as it is available :partying_face:
