In case Convoy has a flashlight with battery tube that accepts 26800 battery, can I also order a 26800 battery with it?
(So far, 26800 batteries do not ship to my country, unless I order in bulk, like 100 pieces… Talked to a few online dealers who either said they can’t ship to my country, or I need to order a bulk quantity…) Would really like to try the 26800 battery format.
Back in march there was some talk about the 12 group firmware for the AA/14500 driver in the T2.
There was another thread here recently asking about disabling the memory on T2 driver, I don’t know if that’s possible but it’s further evidence that not everyone wants memory and that a programmable version would be great.
You said you were going to restart the plan to have this driver manufactured, is that still the plan?
26800 batteries are not very popular currently
and here is a problem.it’s hard to find a suitable charger for 26800.
Repurchasing the charger will also increase the user’s cost.
If 26800 batteries become popular, I will consider producing extension tubes,
Taking into account the cost and supply issues, the manufacturer does not plan to use higher-precision chips, and the 0.1% brightness mode will be removed.
The mode will be modified as follows:
——————-sub-option 1.1 (normal-flash 1 time) : tap the switch to select mode group 1 (1, 10, 35, 100, strobe, biking, battery-check)
——————-sub-option 1.2 (normal-flash 2 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 2 (1, 10, 35, 100)
——————-sub-option 1.3 (normal-flash 3 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 3 (100, 35, 10, 1)
——————-sub-option 1.4 (normal-flash 4 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 4 (1, 20, 100%, strobe, biking, battery-check, SOS)
——————-sub-option 1.5 (normal-flash 5 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 5 (1, 20, 100%)
——————-sub-option 1.6 (normal-flash 6 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 6 (100, 20, 1%)
——————-sub-option 1.7 (normal-flash 7 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 7 (1, 10, 50%, strobe, biking, battery-check, SOS)
——————-sub-option 1.8 (normal-flash 8 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 8(1, 10, 50%)
——————-sub-option 1.9 (normal-flash 9 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 9 (50, 10, 1%)
——————-sub-option 1.10 (normal-flash 11 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 10 (100, 20, strobe)
——————-sub-option 1.11 (normal-flash 12 times) : tap the switch to select mode group 11(100% only)
I want to know what you and other BLFers think about this,
Or do you need to add other modes
Thanks for your diligences and information provided Simon
Given what you said above - and even if I would like to see the 0.1% level - I guess I don’t mind much with the options posted.
I see myself using the levels 1-20-50% or 1-20-100% most of the time, probably.
I would like a 50% mode only, though, but I won’t be picky and fight about that
Thank you for looking into it. As far as chargers I’m using Olight Portable Universal Magnetic USB Charger and at 750mah charging it’s an all night affair.
It would be nice if the primary mode was not the 1.1 with flashing , but the 1.2 without flashing. If it were to revert to default for some reason, it would not revert to the annoying flashing mode. For me, the most important thing is the ability to disable the memory.
Will the above apply for the planned Convoy T2 with 12-mode groups, or will this be applied to all new Convoy flashlights that have the “12-group” firmware?
Hi Simon, rather sad …. would appreciate if Convoy would continue in the “high quality” space.
And I indeed would appreciate moon for AA lamps as well - even more than for 18650, because the former are more used in low-light conditions.
And of course, this would be a USP vs. many other AA lamps !
Reg. the sub-options: why is bat-check only available together with the strobe modes ??
Other than that, I prefer 1/20/100 (1.5) and 1/10/35/100 (1.2). For special cases maybe 1/10/50 (1.8). Never would use any of the other mode grps.
Btw: any plans for colored bodys for AA ?
Edit: ah, and I prefer no memory, or at least be able to disable mem !
