【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

[Techno]

@alex64

It’s a 219b 3500k custom builded from Simon. Silver with rubber button and OP reflector. I use the lighted switch from another S2+ that didn’t work well with old Biscotti driver.

This is the new driver:

1.73€ 73% de DESCUENTO|17mm 7135x8, salida 3040mA,12 grupos (nuevo código de programa), control de temperatura incorporado, Compatible con interruptor iluminado. Controlador LED|Accesorios de iluminación portátiles| - AliExpress

So Simon added the new driver for you?

I freakin love this thing!Nichia B35AM 5000K R9080 with 6V/3A driver.But it anoys me not having anything between 20% and 100%. I like simple 3 mode but a jump from 20% to max is too much so i find my self constantly taping tailswitch.Simon if you read this i would apreciate if you could rearrange modes on your drivers. 5%-50%-100% for nightshift workers…

I can see why. What a great beam profile…and that tint looks gorgeous.

Nearly 10mm² of emitter area equals lovely large spot in edc sized optics. I want one with a LumeX1 in my FW1A. 21700 mates well with this emitter though, really nice build!

Thx guys.

The beam is amazing, reminds of a bit cooler 219B sw45 but with massive output.

The reason i’d be happy with 50%-100% mode is that while i do walkaround around engines, landing gear and lower fuselage, 20% is barely enough and i have to sometimes tap for 100% which is anoying. 50% would be perfect for lower area but for horizontal stabsand wing 100% is perfect.

Have you looked Kaidomain or Manta Ray’s XHP50.2 3A drivers? They aren’t that customizable, but I think they both have something like 30-35% mode in mode rotation. Maybe they are what you need?

[Haukkeli]

Seems like Convoy’s 4 mode driver also has 30% mode. None of my succestions are 3 modes, if that’s what you like. Closest is Convoy’s 4 mode one.

It’s also available on this driver (12 group) and tried it but like i said, 50% is perfect but then i don’t have 100% when i choose that group :-(

Yeah, it’s bit annoying sometimes. I have run in that same problem, when 20 isn’t quite enough but 100% is overkill. I also use 3 modes on my work lamps.

[id30209]

Simon,

would it be possible to make Ramping driver but 6V/3-4A?
That could be solution for everybody that want specific output. Since it’s already avialable in 3V…

Sorry… Other than you like it in 3 mode. How much difference between 30% and 50%?

Enough to leave it and take Zebralight…

EDIT: Nah, it’s not that serious but it’s noticable

@MoreLumens

Does anyone have beamshots from GT-FC40 3000k and 4000k?

I’m ordering M21B and driver for my 4000k one, but it would be only few €’s more to get ready to use model with led installed so maybe getting that 3000k one.

3000K is really nice. I have put 4000K and 3000K ones in S21A/B’s. You can find my beamshots of both emitters in what did you mod today thread.

Hi I’m trying to order a TIR reflector for my s2+ 219b (in the mail) and I’m a bit confused. I’m looking to achieve a nice even floody beam profile.

What size footprint should it be? (3535, 5050?)
Which angle should I choose? (85, 60, 45……?)
What kind of surface finish? (matte, bead, strip, clear?)

Thanks in advance for your help.

85degree 3535

Wouldn’t be great for H1 and 219b?

No suitable lens for H1 currently

My 219B S2+ 4500k just came in today. The LED is pretty nice.

The description for the 219B S2+ seems to be wrong. It’s the regular Biscotti, which requires 10 taps to go into config mode, not 20 taps.

And doesn’t work properly with the lighted switch. With the lighted switch installed, the light just stays in one mode and refuses to switch modes.

Sorry, I found that the old 7135*8 driver is still installed in some flashlights. Please PM me and tell me your address, and I will send you the new driver

The main reason I have not used ramping mode extensively is that it is more suitable for forward switch. But currently most of my flashlights use reverse switches, I don’t know if many users will mind it.
