【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

At present, when I am designing a new flashlight, I have given priority to adding a charging port for the flashlight, so I only need to produce the corresponding battery adapter tube.

Hello Simon,

I would still ask for the B4-40E. If it is already available as bare/16mm star/20mm star purchase in the LEDs section of your aliexpress store, I can not see, why you can not offer it as a tint option for the mentioned flashlights.

I acknowledge, that there may be a price difference between the 4000K 70CRI XHP35 HI emitter and the B4-40E XHP35 HI emitter (which I am ready to pay), but I don’t need more 4000K 70CRI, this is why I would like to ask for the B4-40E to be installed already in those flashlights.

I would like to thank you very much if you can make this possible for me.

Hello Simon,

That sounds great! Also at present, one of your largest competitors is ignoring its customer requests about making 26800 adapter tubes for its flashlights. I will buy MANY more Convoy flashlights from you after they have 26800 adaptability and charging port.

Also please remember to make an adapter for your L6 lights to accommodate 2 x 26800 cells.

Thank you so much for listening to us. Its always a pleasure doing business with you. :+1:

The M3-C and M4U seem like perfect candidates for a 26800 tube, as they already have charging built in. Although a 26650 has plenty of capacity as it is.

Utterly roasts Chinese mystery Vapcell batteries but presses for battery tubes to support a format only made by mystery Chinese manufacturers. :question:

What the heck??? Why are you posting here and not over at the appropriate vapcell thread? Indeed, vapcell is a conglomeration of several questionable rebadged cells with ZERO customer support after selling large quantities of failed cells to the masses. They have a growing history of doing this and should be the last place anyone should shop for cells… sans the desperate shills/fan boys.

And since you didn’t ask and decided to assume, there is no mystery as to where most of us acquire 26800 cells and why they are fast becoming so popular. They are a quality product with great consistency from Queen Battery. Search and read the many flawless reviews for the QB26800 and you will learn why they are a consistently great performing, high capacity cell in high demand. Also priced appropriately.

Well said, rewrappers like Vapcell are not at all equivalent with Chinese OEM li-ion manufacturers - many of the latter having fantastic products and QC.

Which 26650s are recommended for the L6 GT-FC40? Is there is min/max length?

Vapcell doesn’t make batteries so they come from OEMs too and for all we know they might be QB seconds… if 26800 is a good battery that’s awesome but feels weird to trash Chinese OEMs in one breath and ask for battery tubes for a singular battery made by a Chinese OEM in the very next.

FWIW I have mixed reviews about Vapcell myself I don’t care about them.

I’ve purchased a few of these as bare emitters from Simon’s store. They are not high CRI.

6800mAh 26800 is equal in density to 5500mAh 26650 or ~2650mAh 18650, Chinese manufacturers make millions of the latter, it’s not a surprise they are consistent, they are just regular Li-Ion.

In fact, the prices of the two are the same. High color rendering LEDs are not necessarily more expensive than ordinary color rendering.

68-70mm with top head

max input 8amps.

maybe I’m more sensitive but I notice the difference in light.
Limit the current at ~ 70% allows you to maintain maximum level for longer and less heat produced.
For the New T2 driver I wish to have 0.2~ 0.5% mode.
Also,you consider to add button top options for yours others drivers instead spring?

Close mode groupings would make much sense because when one wants just sufficient amount of light for a situation can be better adjusted to have the ideal battery runtime.

It would be even meaningful to include a few mode groups with more than 5 levels, like these:
1% 2.5% 6% 12.5% 25% 50% 100%
2.5% 4% 6.4% 10% 16% 25% 40% 64% 100% (this could be a very good bike light driver mode group, and could be a good upgrade to the older 7-mode bike driver with 10-20-30-40-60-80-100% modes)

I can notice the difference well between a level and 1.6 times a level (like the 40% to 64% and the 64% to 100% change mentioned above)

I second this if there is enough space in the driver, the original modes were chosen for 3A and keeping firmware size below 1024 bytes, now there are drivers with 5, 6 and 8A, it makes sense to have more levels to cover a larger range.

0.2~0.5% mode is achievable, but due to the significant price increase of global chips, I cannot purchase high-precision chips. I can make samples, but I cannot mass produce them.

if that so ,i think i should make stepless mode directly

Simon,

is new M12C FC40 12group driver only available?

Crumpled reflector? That doesn’t sound good at all. I assume that’s supposed to be orange peel.

Does this emitter actually produce a good beam with a smooth reflector? I thought the big multi die emitters needed an OP reflector to make the beam look decent. Or is that just the Cree emitters?
