M21d and onward already do. But the interface has issues, the big one being the uneven ramp speed. This is why I keep bugging Simon about flashing pads and source code, so that he has to make only one change on any new driver designs, and users do the rest. For example, there was a tussle about what mode group spacings were best for the mechanical switch lights, the debate would be obviated with easy firmware updates.
For those that missed it, the T3 MAO dropped
it's on ali store.
I thought the ramping was only to set the brightness? It doesn’t ramp like anduril
I think the side e-switch flashlights do have true ramping but it gets slow at high brightness (and fast at low)… I’m not sure because I don’t own one yet, I’ve been hoping for a update to the UI for, at a minimum, a visually linear brightness ramp.
I’ve been holding off since the first side eswitch m21* were released… I’m not going to buy one now just to learn a month later that the UI was upgraded with anduril haha
Silly question, the Convoy M21G has a slightly flared tube to head connection. Does an L6 tube fit it?
I have a S21D with 4 519A LEDs. I put it into a 50% maximum mode but it reaches about 60°C after a few minutes on the front side. On 100% I cannot touch the flashlight anymore.
Is that normal? The driver is 8A.
Yes, it runs pretty hot! (Which also explains why it has excellent sustained brightness/size).
uh ,not suitable
What is the pros and cons of s21e compared to s21d? Both with 519a.
The S21E has USB-C charging, side e-switch, stepped/ramping UI, general purpose beam profile (reflector), and is slightly more compact.
S21D has a no internal charging, tail switch, Biscotti/12-group UI, floody beam profile with 30/60 degree optics (TIR), approx. 50% more sustained lumens, approx. 100% more max lumens. (A side switch/USB-C version is coming soon).
Which one is regulated? More efficient driver?
If regulated, does it uses buck or boost? Or does it burns the excess as heat?
Is there any information when and which side switch/USB-C flashlights are coming from Convoy?
no so quick ,it is still in production.
Simon, will there be any more colors for the s21e besides green?
blue ,red, orange,These three color versions are in production, if you need other colors you can also let me know.
Simon, how does the “RGB” lighted switch work? Can the user choose the color? Does it change colors automatically?
Hi Simon.
Will an 18350 tube be available for the S2+ in the MAO finish?
Thanks.
Very interested in finding out as well! I would love to see pictures of the bare switch (exposing the RGB LED) and of it installed in a tailcap. A short demonstration video could also be great!
Also, do you have measurements of current consumption?
Guys, I need your help.
I’d like to buy one S2+ with a High CRI LED and a set of lenses to find the best one for me.
I see lenses for SST20, LH351D
I don’t see lenses for 512a, 219b
Could you please help me to understand is there a way to use different lenses with Nichia leds?
SST20, LH351D, 519a and 219b all have the same footprint or ‘size’ (3535). I’m assuming you mean the TIR lenses with different degrees?
Lens which fit SST20/LH351D will fit the Nichia as well.
