【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

[ferrat_val]

Damn this L7 looks awesome. Shame I have just bought 4x18 with SBT90.2 recently.

[ArtieT59]

wow! the L7 looks GREAT! i love the knurling on the battery tube, reminds me of the knurling i really like on the EA01 & FT02s.

I will definitely be buying the L7, glad i have held off on the the 4x18a version. for now at least. i will probably buy both eventually, but definitely the L7 first! great work Simon!

And, i dont mind the ramping. I like anduril and narsil on my throwers, mostly for the options and battery check. Anduril is nice because i set my K1's to stepped mode only, and 5 steps with ranging from 10/150 - 149/150, it is actually really convenient along with a simple battery check and lockout. I wouldn't think id like it, but i have gotten very used to it. I also like the ability to manipulate the heat management.

[ArtieT59]

I hope the L7 comes in the color options Silver (raw), Tan. along with Black!

Quite a few were not a fan of the Noctigon K1 using Anduril

I understand what you mean about ramping being an odd choice for throwers (I have a crescendo UI on a thrower that seems a bit unwieldy to manage at times).

But isn’t the beauty of Anduril that you can easily configure it to a stepped interface with exactly how many steps you want? And further more, with the exposed header pads, it’s not too difficult to flash almost any crazy UI setup you like. I’m a fan of this!

I quite like Convoy being an Anduril free zone. Almost every non flashlight enthusiast I know who has owned an Anduril light has found it frustrating.

I find the ramping on my M21c-u slow to get going then really fast & difficult to stop where you want it. Slower ramping I think would work better. Good light though with an XHP70.2 3000k, really nice soft tint.

+1 I like Anduril with all the features, but for someone who’s forte isnt technical UI stuff, it’s a hassle to learn and memorize and set up. A non-complicated UI with ramping is really nice and enhances the light even more.

What is the head diameter of the Convoy L7?

Is it possible to have a picture of the L7 side by side with the L6 and also 4X18A?
(compare head diameter size and also compare the length side-by-side)

Thanks.

[PiercingTheDarkness]

This 4X18A with SBT90.2 is excellent, just received my order.

Tested a very stable 3980 lumens.

The one issue I have with the UI is you can’t ramp up from moon, so if you have turbo in memory it’ll go from moon to turbo

Stepped modes would have been better if it’s a hold to cycle, instead hold to jump up a level, release and hold to jump to next, and so on

Turns out I’m too used to Anduril and I wasn’t holding long enough

L21B with SFT40 for hunting?

[PiercingTheDarkness]

@TimMc

L21B with SFT40 for hunting? :partying_face:

I’m very much looking forward to testing the SFT40 in it, but the narrow beam of the Osram’s is best though. For wider beams it can reflect off the barrel or suppressor causing glare. Most customers would rather best range at 5A rather than pushing for similar range at 8A

@Simon Mao

L7 will be ready for SBT90.2

That looks awesome. Might be my first SBT90 light.

Ramping driver?

not ramping ,just normal 4 modes

[Simon_Mao]

@Correllux

@Simon Mao

The black version may not look good. here is 26800 battery what i got

I would vote black also for the tube only, just to match the head. For a new flashlight, colors are a nice option! The new L7 and 26800 is actually kind of exciting.

Will the new tubes still fit on an L2 head?

If there are more users who need the black version, I will consider producing some black tubes in the next batch.

The tube of L7 is suitable for L2

[Simon_Mao]

@texas shooter

Well, Simon you have the same battery as I have. I like the look of that L7. Please consider a matching 26800 extension for it. Those cells were meant for that kind of Beast.

The 26800 extension tube for M3-C is suitable for L6 / L7 ,too

[Simon_Mao]

@Alen

@Funtastic

Wow, that looks incredible, and knowing Convoy’s build quality it’ll be decent.

Ramping driver?

I find ramping only useful on models for EDC, not throwers. Quite a few were not a fan of the Noctigon K1 using Anduril

The ramping would be fine on dual CCT Leds for variable temperature.
Simon there are news about this new flashlight?

I have found a suitable TIR lens, the next step is to design a suitable driver and host

Thanks.

The dimensions of L6 and L7 are the same. Only 20mm MCPCB can be installed in L6, while SBT90. 2 needs to use a 25mm board. In addition, there are many imitations of L6 on the market. So I just made some changes to the appearance and named it after the new model name L7.

L21B with SFT40 for hunting? :partying_face:

i have test L21B with SFT40 8amps , And got the illuminance value of 395KCD.
However, the reflector still has problems and needs to be further improved.

BTW ,My previous test value of L21A KW CULPM1.TG is somewhat low due to different instruments.
The instrument I am using is UNI-T UT383BT, and the test distance is 5 meters.

I have one of these UNI-T UT383BT and it reads lower than my generic light meter. Also i can no longer find the Uni-T app on google, should still work fine.
djozz done a test on it i think, its the non Bluetooth model. 5 luxmeters compared (april 2018)

I bought some SFT40 from you, do you think the SFT40 will benefit from a custom gasket/centering ring? A shaved down version of the SST40 centering ring?

ETA?I hope keep the dimension compact as possible and find LEDs with Rosy tint.Imho not impressive by the tint of current bin LH351D 50K and 27K

[PiercingTheDarkness]

AUX LEDs are just another thing to go wrong, and difficult to fix. Take a look at the issues with many of the Fireflies models.

They do look amazing when they work…
