I purchase my Convoy lights direct from the AliEx Convoy store, and will continue to do so. I avoid Amazon unless I’m looking for a one-off oddball item, or insanely deep discount (a rarity anymore). Same can be said for eBay.
Ok, I was able to use the 3X21A SFT40 last night…
The light throws! The led tint is not bad as some of the pictures might make you believe, my MAJOR complaint is that if you long press the button and go to “moonlight” it cannot ramp up from there you can click and hold and nothing happens, your only options are to double click and go to turbo then ramp down from there, or turn the light off and do a click to go to saved last brightness level and ramp from there.
WHY? or better yet, WHY DID YOU NOT USE ANDURIL??? Astrolux uses it in their USB C rechargeable drivers, it can be done!
I like the light design, really do! But the UI could have been perfect if you had used Anduril!
I go for AliExpress!
This Amazon model allows us to only send products with better sales to Amazon warehouses in the United States in advance. We can’t do this for accessories that have less sales and are not popular.
At present, it can only be settled in EBAY in the form of a company.And I heard that there are more restrictions.
Hi Simon
A little off topic but could you please let us know when the 3x21a SBT90.2 may be ready by?
Thank you!
Has anyone done some testing of the gt-fc40 or still too new?
Wondering how output compares to xhp35. What footprint does it match (so I can look for mpcbs)?

7070

Member Djozz did
[image] [image] BLF member rngwn sent me two of these interesting 7070 leds for testing. He found them on alibaba and asked for a few very high CRI samples. Depending on the performance he will order a batch of these and sell them to BLF members. I did not get the manufacturer's name, or a datasheet, just the typenr GT-FC40, and that they are 12V, 5000K, and very high CRI. Appearance First how does the led look? It is clearly a 16 die led (4 strings parallel of 4 dies in series, I ass…
Thank you!
I’ll definitely buy a few 219Bs when you get them on your store.
Is it possible that you can get the sw45k bins as well?
Amazon could definitely help bring your product to the mainstream consumer! But in order for it to be beneficial to the mainstream consumers. Your product would most likely need to be fulfilled by Amazon, for great shipping speed.
But beware Simon, Amazon customers love to abuse the ability to return products.
Aliexpress works just fine for me. I like the ability to easily communicate with you. But bottom line is, go with what feels best for how you want your company to grow!

This has been discussed countless times before, but a lot of Convoy’s customers are not flashlight enthusiasts. Many non-flashlight enthusiasts find Anduril confusing and frustrating to use.

Wait! Mine ramps up from moon fine.
Oops, might be because of this minor Anduril 2 mod:
Wish I could have saved the charging but there were like 3 I/O pins interconnected between the main driver MCU and the charging circuitry , probably partially or fully because of controlling the LED's.
Link in OP for gt-fc40 doesn’t work (but easy enough to search led name).
i will get 219B R9080 in one week sw30,sw35 sw45,how about this
I think an S12 with 219b would work very well. With the 6A driver that’d be 2A per emitter. The 219b is great for triples. I built an S2+ triple with the 5A driver and 3 SW45k emitters.
For the S2+, is it possible to just purchase the tail end of a host?
I’ve dropped and banged my S2+ so many times on its tail end that the magnet no longer fits

Suitable copper MCPCB in production

available now ,i got them today ,i will add links in two days

I’ve dropped and banged my S2+ so many times on its tail end that the magnet no longer fits
no seperate tail , maybe you have to buy a host
Any news about a link to order S16 with SFT40 and 8A CC driver yet? I would also love to see FC40 3000K in the S16 or M21B. :LOVE:
