Convoy T3? What new goodies does Simon have in store?

Simon confirmed AA/14500 with q2 mode driver.

Forgive me for living under a rock but what is a q2 mode driver?

I really like Biscotti for the most part. It is quick to use and has some decent mode groups. I’d like a few more group options or an easy way to customize a group, but it really is the best fit for my needs out of what I can readily purchase. (I still don’t like electronic switches.)

I mistyped, it should have said 12 mode driver.

Is a 15mm size boost driver?
Have some light to upgrade

[Garageboy]

I hope they bore the light just a tad more, and extend the positive contact a bit more. Can’t use flat top 14500 with my old T2, and couldn’t get my protected keeppower to fit

[Lixivium]

@Ryzbor

the 12 mode mechanical click driver is superior to Anduril

If you feel like elaborating, I would be interested in hearing why. I got the 4 group driver on my C8+ because I heard there could be a bug on the 12 mode. What makes the 12 mode driver so good?

In a PM Simon did confirm that the tube is slightly larger bore.

[MascaratumB]

Seems like they have been released already (with 4 modes driver, only)

[Geoduck]

I wouldn’t mind the 4 mode driver for this light but it still has memory mode that I don’t like on small lights like this.

Yeah, I am 12mode-only anymore due to the ability to disable mode memory.

That bug was fixed many moons ago

Is the T3 a 16mm mcpcb? Or still a pain in my arse 14.5mm like T2. Figured I would ask here, I’ve bugged Simon way to much

I’m pretty sure no one has a T3 yet. It just came out and shipping via slow boat takes a while.

Could you elaborate please? I have one 12-group driver installed a year ago in a M21B which i don’t use very often and I notice that it sometimes resets to group 1 with mode memory, despite me setting it to group 6 without mode memory. Is this the bug you are talking about, or is it something else?

Simon updated his T3 photos. Looks to be a T2 body, with newly designed knurling.

I’d be willing to bet battery tube & parts are interchangeable with T2!

[derfyled]

I really hope it does not have bad PWM like the T2.

Also, can a lighted switch be used on it ?

Aw man. I was hoping it would be a smaller/slimmer body. The T2 is one of the largest 1xAA lights on the market.

I turned my back for a minute and apparently a lot of progress happened. Is there a summary/review/Wiki available?

I have a surprisingly large collection of outdated drivers I never got round to installing, why not add some more?

The recent T2 driver does not have any PWM. The original did have bad PWM.

[Geoduck]

looks like the 12 mode T3 is now available.

[Correllux]

Couple dollars more for the 12-mode…says $18 and change for me. I wonder if he’ll offer just the driver soon. The multi-angle-pattern knurling on this just isn’t grabbing me but I like the blue and red colors…trying not to click the buy button.

Hank - someone correct me if I’m wrong but the current 12-mode driver is basically like the previous Biscotti versions - he borrowed/adapted that firmware when he moved to a new driver manufacturer not too long ago.

[amtaham]

What are the difference between 4-modes and 12-modes? Thank you in advance.
