【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Simon - will the 90CRI 5000k XHP70.2 be available at some time in the M21D ?

Саймон, можно добавить спектральный тест для sw30D180L2R9080?
Спасибо!..

Dear Simon,

any word on that new single 26800, sbt90.2, side switch, 80mm+ head size, thrower??

is the driver done yet?

Will a sft40 driver be available for that + for M21e anytime soon?

Thank you!

Can anyone help?

What mcpcb could the sft70 go onto? Either 6volt or 12volt 7070 like one for xhp70?

I wonder why Simon isn't selling the SFT70 with a mcpcb? It must not be able to go onto the 6volt xhp70 mcpcb he has in stock i am assuming?

in the MCPCB of the xhp50.2? the sft70 is 6V.

the spot is uneven ,High CRI is meaningless

Drivers are all in production

XML2/SST40 5050 MCPCB ,6V voltage

Just curious Simon but, what do you mean with “the spot is uneven”? A hole in the center of the beam appears?

I think I am going to finish a small build with a hole in the beam, since I don't care as much. ;-)

I have only XHP70.2 in my Convoy’s and i never noticed anything that is not visible with non high cri models…

The beam from an XHP70.2 in a reflector has a white hotspot, an extremely lime green corona and a blue spill. There’s so much tint shift across the beam that high CRI won’t really give you much benefit.

Yea, as much as i wanna always ask the manufacturer for the best bins they can get, i agree with Rayoui here, how does Hi CRi matter with xhp70.2 when there is so much tint shift going on? meaning, which color of the rainbow actually contains the Hi CRI with xhp70.2 in a reflector light?

I even have one in a E7-, small OP reflector, and there is a slight Rainbow of colors from the xhp70.2

Just to illustrate…


The 3rd gen should be just around the corner, with both XHP50.3 HI and XHP70.3 HI, even the domed versions probably will have a better beam color profile since there is no phosphor pour over the whole package. So at this point it’s better to wait a bit and try to source those in high CRI instead of going with the soon to be obsolete 2nd gen.

I’ve got some XHP50.3 HI 4500K 90+ CRI on order. Really looking forward to seeing how those perform.

Whoa! That's insanely snot green! Even the hotspot looks greenish LoL. They really @#$%ed up with the second generation.

I hope for the above beamshot to exaggerate the actual appearance of the beam, because if it literally looks that way to the naked eye I really wonder how someone is willing to deal with it. For comparison purposes, just took my M1 build with White Flat 1mm² (CSLNM1.TG): hotspot is white, corona is a tiny bit greenish and spill is slightly bluish to my naked eye, but nothing major. By the way, I also noticed it needs a new centering gasket, the one I originally stuck in is asymmetric and can be seen in the beam. You can guess I haven't used it much… O:) And then, the beam from my orange peel red S21A with 3500K GA3 SST-20 is absolutely beautiful.

Hi Simon,

I have an S12 UV and I’m interested in installing one of your 8A 12 Group drivers into it. Is it compatible or would 8A be too much current?

Thanks!

Any chance we will see just the host for sale soon, since that’s not dependent on driver supply? And will there be a non-e-switch version. Thanks!

How’d you manage to get that shipped to the US? Pretty slick light. I can’t even see the listing for it unless I follow a google link with no ali in cookies/history…otherwise it blanks it out because he’s honoring that patent and won’t ship here (same happens on Banggood lately).

Might look to see if that emitter was covered in Djozz’s tests but a quick peek at the data sheet for it says a max of 1.4A and with UV emitters that max is usually accurate (as opposed to white emitters which we happily overdrive the heck out of). That driver would optimistically give 2.5A per emitter which I suspect would fry them in short order unless legit tests have shown otherwise. Not sure I’d push 2A on them if they’re anything like the ones from Nichia and LG in terms of respecting that current max on the sheets. I think his 6A drivers would be fine, maybe use smaller wires and remove any spring mods if present. Seems like that driver puts out something around 5.6A or so based on other comments here.

I got it through a group buy on r/flashlight. A couple users in & outside the US imported a bunch of them.
