【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

Yes, they sold out, and there was a without battery option. I ordered 2 without battery.

The demand for them must have gotten up.

When I asked if he planned to get different ano colors for it he replied it doesn’t sell good enough to justify that.

Or perhaps he made like 15 of them haha

And I thought I had time to overthink this purchase…

I think the S21D is the most underrated light on the market. Almost no one hypes it. Only a handful of reviews for it (all positive). Once more of them are in people’s hands and folks are posting about them and reviewing them sales will take off.

Granted, I’m biased. I think they are awesome. Simon is sending me a sample of the new 12A driver to install in one, so I’m pretty excited. I’ll have a 8A 519a 5700k and 12A 519a 5700k to compare head to head, along with my current 219b & 519a 4500k models.

This is so relatable. I think about some purchases for weeks and the result is that opportunity sometimes passes me by. On the bright side, at least I’m saving money on some frivolous purchases. :smiley:

I have the ability to think so long, some lights i wanted actually got discontinued by their manufacturers before i could get any lol.

Hi Simon, when do you expect the T4 in white to be available? Can I buy it now without the gift box? Thanks.

ok ,only 20 pieces T4 MAO without gift box in stock ,i will add a link tomorrow

Guys, what are the Convoy drivers necessary to push the 519a and sft40 emitters? i need some stuff to put in the S2+ hosts i’ve purchased recently…

The 17mm 5A driver would be great for both of them.

Well, the sft40 s2+ uses a 5A driver as standard but isn’t it a little hot roddish for the 519a?

Nope. It’s the 219B you don’t want to use with the 5A driver. The 519 can handle it just fine.

Djozz tested it, and the 519A peaks in brightness around 6A. So 5A is a nice max current. It’ll get hot in an S2 of course, but it won’t harm the emitter.

If you want to run high mode without extra heat the 3A driver fine too. But you’ll have to solder it to the pill, which is annoying.

I see, thank you for the inputs, I’ll get some of these 5A drivers.

By the way, I have a couple questions if you don’t mind

What driver Simon sells his 519a S2s with?

Just want to have an idea of the heat these will pump out, also, efficiency is a bigger concern to me than sheer output but if should they be the same, at the same brightness, I wouldn’t mind have a little extra oomph at all, I just wouldn’t like to sacrifice efficiency at the same middle brightness levels which is most of my use time.

What are the architectures Simon uses in these drivers, are they buck boost, linear, linear + fet…?

I’m not as versed as u guys in here.

Hi Simon. The 17mm forward switch I got is a bit different from the one pictured. the switch has a black top instead of white top and the mcpcb has 1 center hole instead of 5 center holes which is exactly like the 16mm switch pcb. it measures just under 16mm like your 1288 16mm switches.

Is there a way to get LEDs cheaper?
If you get 10 pcs the price is $2-3 but I want to try various LEDs and tints.
You have to buy per piece and 519a for instance is $7.50 for one. If you buy multiple the price doesn’t decrease.

Buy one cct and leave Simon a message what and how many of each cct you want

The color of the top doesn’t matter. It’s invisible in assembled tail so.
The pcb you received is better because it has more vias - less resistance.

Will that work?
And when you say to message him do you mean on AliExpress? And leave a message upon payment?

Yes. After placing your order and paying, you can send him a message via AE regarding your order.

You can also leave a note click the little icon

Thanks for that!

I learn something new everyday.
