Ekoras R7 Purple Swaggg

So how exactly does this differ from the S2+. I like the type 3 anodization.

I am not sure, sorry i can only go by what they say. It would have to be the same as what ever Convoy uses.

Yea its good it transfers the heat well to the body much faster than a S2/S2+ style light, the bigger MCPCB probably helps dissipate the heat faster.

Main differences would be it uses a 21700 cell instead of a 18650, its using an integrated shelf instead of using a pill system. Larger driver and LED space 20mm each.

And a stainless bezel. I’d pick this over the S21, but I really wish it were 18650.

Sorry, I should have asked the difference with the S21.

Seems comparable to the S21B since it has an integrated shelf. I don’t think the S21A has an integrated shelf.

R7 is probably using a 5A driver? While S21B is using a 6A driver?

Not a huge fan on the UI especially since S21B gets hot really quickly when running at 100. I found 50 a better choice when using the S21B.

I wish manufacturers would just use Crescendo or Biscotti instead of their own UI. Biscotti for those who wish to have blinkies and Crescendo for those who wish not.

The R7’s driver (as EDSG pointed out in the video) is simply using a FET (for PWM) with an inline current limiting resistor. So current will completely depend on battery voltage and the LED’s vF.

And the bezel opening or ID is what? 22mm?

i have never seen that UI mode order

as you say “plenty of hate’’ at least from me

that is truly awful

does it also have memory, or next-mode memory?

High
• Medium
• Low
• Strobe
• Turbo
• Sos

one important thing is, what is the cost?

or give a link so we can go find out…

Can’t tell which store is legit - maybe both,
Ekoras Official Store or Ekoras Direct Store

I think its $15 on Ali. Cheap.

Its 24mm the lens sits inside the bezel on the R7.

I mean the inner diameter of the SS bezel. Basically what is the diameter of the glass showing from the outside with the light assembled. My pixel counting measurements suggest ~21.4mm

No memory or next mode, its probably a driver that you should change. The overall design of the driver is not great and won’t deliver high power. On the plus side it doesn’t have any visible PWM on any modes.

I paid around 15 USD before tax its still around the same price, Cheaper than the Convoy options. Even if you change the driver you are still ahead.

I don’t have calipers on me so i traced the lip on paper and its exactly 20mm.

Design of their others lights are exactly like Convoy S2 S2+ S3.
Are they made by same manufactured and rebranded or other?

Just ordered a couple. They look nice. $14. Thats a pizza lunch.

Just got them. Very impressed. Thanks to OP for the recommendation.
