The price is close enough to what it would take to build one up from a host, especially with that trick switch.
If you could make one with a Neutral White (~3C) XM-L2 at 2.8A, I’d probably pull the trigger on at least one, even though I’m going to put my own TIR in it & toss your reflector & lens.
Put me down for a switch also, please. As in “separate SKU” and hopefully not too “off budget”… Thanks!
EDIT: Momentary ON switch, please…
+1 on the idea of making something a lot like this one, but made for 1*AA battery!!
Also, please feel free to dye them Green, Blue, Gold, Silver, etc.
Thanks,
Dim

If you go onto the link that Simon put up you can go into discription and see that you can personalise your light with tint and amps. Please no gold lights lol

Momentary? This tailswitch would be a normal clicky. For a momentary tail clicky you need to design a light around that, like nitecorn piston switches.

AliExpress doesn't accept PayPal, does it? I'd order one if PayPal payment was available somehow.

That red anodizing looks really sweet, but I can’t see how I could give any 18650 light as a gift…
Because people who don’t know about flashlight don’t even know the existence of 18650 batteries…
So I was thinking, maybe you could find some good AA hosts/flashlights and brand them under Convoy name (if the quality standard meets the other models, of course)
I would really like to gift good quality AA flashlights, with the smooth finish and simple design of, say, a S2
^^this. also haven’t seen the regular s2 as a host on the website

My wife likes it big and strong. :bigsmile: So, she was disappointed when I gave away my Courui D01. But, she was appeased when I gave her a BLF Edition X6 from the group buy. I guess I wasted my money when I bought her a pretty purple Olight i3s before. She says it’s not bright enough. Maybe if I bought her one of these red S2+, I could get my BLF X6 back. 0:) Think it’ll work?
X6? Holy moly thats quite a huge light to keep in purse, my gf will only take an i3s, same purple color lol, mix it up among her house and car keys, now trying my best to make her carry an olight S10 inside purse.

Well, I don’t have any girls to give this light to, and my wife might be a little irritated if I gave it to a lover…

Does it seems to me or this question is cloning itself in every thread about Convoy :exmark:
He should put that in his sig.

Yes but not dramatically. S2+ has bigger pill for better heat sink. It’s a completely different light even the threads are different.

Everytime I see a steel switch, all I wanted to ask is how thick is it.
So I can mill it and insert a piece of tritium vial
