Convoy S2+ Triple Nichia 219B 4500K

Where did he get a triple 219B emitter?

Presumably built the 5A driver for it too? Damn I need to learn this stuff. How hard is it to mount the stuff on the pcb? Can you do it with a regular soldering iron or do you need surface mount skills and equipment?

Wanna build me an emitter if I pay you? 3x219B like in that video

You can get a 5A driver from Simon (convoy), or from Led4power (if he’s shipping to the UK yet). As for the reflowing of the emitters, I do mine with a small kitchen blow torch. I hold the mcpcb with a soldering helping hands, then slowly heat it up from a distance underneath, bringing the flame closer until I see the solder liquify. I’ve done many reflows this way and haven’t had any go wrong yet, touch wood!

Any ideas where to buy the 219B chips from? I’m struggling to find them on aliex

Nice I’ll just wait for the convoy product then, hopefully it’ll be available for the S2+ :slight_smile:

Is it really from a standard lighted tail switch ? cause I recently built another triple and stuck a lighted tail switch but its very dim compared to the one in the video, though I did use a blue to match the blue host.

Simon also sells these at the moment. In 3000k, 3500k and 4500k. If you order double of everything and send it all to me, I’ll build two, send you one and keep one as payment? :wink:

I would love to buy a few of these. Never understood why convoy does not make one like this.

Get the emitters from Azhu here on BLF https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/57715

I learned to reflow emitters from this tutorial by our own Vesture of Blood https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/39482

I couldn’t find the chips, link me to all the bits we need so I can see how much it adds up to?

Hi that’s me. I got the bare Leds 219B from Convoy (AliX), optic (bicom) and mcpcb from KD. The driver is the “new (R020)” version 12 Groups 55 Modes 5A. It pulls 5.7A max with that triple.

Yes it is, just add bypass. The one that pushed the output of that Lighted Switch is a bleeder resistor. I used the 330 Ohm (331).

Nice work. I want one!

Thank you! The plan is I want to sell it locally in my country at around $45, but haven’t upload the products yet.

As if you want to build that by yourself, the parts is available in Convoy Flashlight Store and KD. If you want the Carclo optics and Noctigon board, you can buy them at intl-outdoor.com. You can make the spacer at your local machinist or just order it from kiriba-ru.

Is that for the whole light or just the emitter?

Awesome man. Wish you live here in the States. I would love to get one of your custom pieces, but shipping might be a pain to Cali.

I’m willing to buy one of these if the shipping to UK isn’t too crazy. 3x219B with a 5A driver, don’t need a fancy lighted tailcap.

Whole light, include the 18350 body. But no battery included, the price is a bit high for it’s specs because there’s some taxes and the copper spacer cost me around $8 each at my nearest machinist :’

How much for one shipped to the UK?
