【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Ok, now I get it! My bad, I understood it wrong :zipper_mouth_face:
I would ask Simon if can sell you one! The shiny ones are for sale out there, but I am not sure about the black one.

I wonder if Simon will ever sell a triple S2+… I would love one but don’t have the skills to build it myself.

It would be a must have.

I think an S21A triple is in the works

That’s excellent news!!

Hey! just noticed the presale for 940nm IR S2+ (https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003202811071.html)
I will take it as soon as it is available :face_with_monocle:
Will it work with lighted metal switch ? (https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002370385808.html) : is the driver compatible? and the body ?

How did that light perform ? I need a IR light was looking at the Z1.

Can you show a photo of your modded Z1 with 4x IR?

Quite nicely :slight_smile: going all the way from super floody to the ‘LED’ picture on the subject , got the 4 LED pcb and driver here : 1.15€ 10% de réduction|CloLight Diode émetteur LED haute puissance, 3535 4 puces, 4 gible, 3V, 6V, 12V, 10W, infrarouge, IR 850nm, 940nm, 730nm, PCB en cuivre 20mm | AliExpress
I’m not a big fan of zoomy, and the Z1 is quite bigger than I really need, that’s why a S2+ would be better for me, but I was too lazy for the mod.

yeah, next time I use it :slight_smile:
it’s nothing fancy, I had quite some trouble reassembling the head though (the o-ring messed up a few times)

Don’t bother showing me then, no need to take it apart again

Thank you for the link, that’s what I needed.

What range roughly are you getting?

Is there a way of removing the AR coating from the glass on my convoy s2+?

I have the convoy s2+ with the 219b sw45k emitter and I noticed that when I remove the glass, the tint looks slightly better. When lighting up white objects with the glass in place they look a little green, and I suspect it has to do with the AR coating.

Scrub, scrub, scrub.

Seriously.

With what? And how do I not scratch it?

Lots of previous posts on how to remove AR coatings. One of which is what LB just mentioned. I advise you to search.

Same principle like using a razor to scrape your old registration sticker off your windshield. Glass might be brittle, but it’s incredibly hard. Steel wool works nice, but it’s tedious to do, and you gotta get both sides if it’s coated on both sides, too.

DON’T use sandpaper of any kind, not even fine grit, as that is harder than glass, and will frost it.

I only tried it (steel wool) because I was okay if it’d frost it, as I’d likely be using diffusion film anyway if I wanted a flooder. Wasn’t an S2/S2+, but I vaguely vaguely vaguely recall it was one of the older Sofirn SPs that had AR coating on the glass. Might be mistaken, though.

Anyway, it came out fine, enough so that I can’t even recall which light it was. Ie, not “damn, I ruined the glass on that light…” or anything.

Sit back and veg out watching teevee while doing it, as it’s tedious and takes quite a while.

Thanks Lightbringer :beer:

Ima get scrubbing!

Hey Funtastic whats your plans?
I was looking at buying a Z1 and fitting one of those 10w 850nm IR led into it and see how it goes as I think my IR is the weak link with my old scope.
Before I go out and buy a new NV scope for my new Air gun “rabbit hunting”. I would like to try a better IR light on my old trusty Photon XT.

Thx

As my IR “sensor” is a cheap mini-“action”-camera, I can’t use it at more than 50 meters (the camera doesn’t show anything useful further): I mainly use it as a very close range flood light
You may get 100-150m, but I can’t tell…

Hmmm, okay, no good for me then. I need something for 300-350m for my store, I was hoping the L21B would be capable, but maybe not.

I wonder if Simon would ever consider the Vscel IR lasers. That’s entirely unfamiliar territory for me though.
