Funtastic, some interesting UI suggestions! Definetly agree a review of the various modes would be nice.
I’ve just received a M21B GT FC 3000-3200K and S2+ sw30k, really loving the warm tints + hi cri.
Have been running the UI on the default mode with memory mode turned off. I find this very usable and I can get into battery check easily enough (after a short epileptic episode) which is a nice feature.
Nice! i just ordered the same M21c, my first GT FC40 light, and i ordered some sw30 bare leds as well on a "whim". I also ordered that AWESOME m21e in 4000k, but still am wondering if i shoud've went 3000k like my gut was telling me to do..
Haven’t been on in a couple weeks and randomly discovered these new lights in Simon’s store. Man, they look great! The T3 looks interesting, and the IR lights. Also saw that he was able to source the ring magnet for the T2 tail cap in a proper 4mm height, and they’re at a good price, too. I had to source some thinner 2mm from a store on ali and glue them together, and paid more than I wanted for ten of them. I messaged four vendors and none of them could source a thicker ring in that size…Simon’s got the connections!
Simon and Convoy CONTINUES to have THE YEAR! all of the new releases (4x18 sbt90, 3x21a, L7, new gt fc40 variations, and sft40 variations!) are awesome so far, and then he comes out with the M21E!. so awesome. Very exciting for us Convoy and flashlight fans, Simon. Thank you!
What I’d love to see is the M21E, M21D etc use the SFT40. Yes, I know it would require a new driver, but currently Convoy have nothing for longer reach using a side switch, except the SBT90.2 models. Need something a wee bit more compact
Needs to have a bit more grunt to compete with most out there now.
Sofirn now have the IF22 & IF22A. Convoy doesn’t have anything much in terms of longer range. There’s other brands I could stock, but I just love Simon’s pricing and customer service, unbeatable I reckon
If the diameter of the TIR lens and the reflector are the same, the range of the TIR lens will be worse.
In fact, I can find related lenses, but I personally don’t like TIR lenses in terms of long-range shots.
If you are interested, I can develop one.
Even though range for the same diameter might be less, I like TIRs because of the beam shape - more usable light. I’d definitely be interested in a convoy sft40 TIR (but I think the IF22A is ugly/awkward looking).
Do you often use facebook and reddit? Sometimes I want to post pictures of some new things. Uploading pictures here is a troublesome thing. I have to upload the pictures to flicker first, and then copy the link to post here.
