Man that switch... Any chance we could buy the switch and metal cap separate to swap in current convoy S lights?!!? Mtnelectronics has a lot of pocket clips available, not much extra cost, weeks less shipping time!
Just got a Red S2+ in from FastTech yesterday (1.4A, 4C tint) - awesome switch, totally agree. A friend at work, whom I show bout every light I own, said this switch was the best he felt of any of them. He ordered two same day.
I bought it cause the switch peeked my interest - hope the Convoy brand extends the switch design to all tailcap switch lights. Definitely worth the extra $2. I'm still looking for a good feel/quality side switch pocket EDC sized light... The ZY-T11 and clones is about the best to me right now...
Nice review. It makes me even more await the one I’ve ordered >4 weeks ago… The tracking still says “in transit” and it is not found yet in the German postal service.
I’ve should have bought the clip too…
Many thanks for the review, Chicken Drumstick. I was looking for a relatively inexpensive and compact 18650 EDC, and this one seems ideal. I’ve just ordered the 1.4A / 3B version, along with the clips.
Cheers!
Sorry, no pics. It's the std small white Omten mounted on a round PCB. The brass retainer ring is reverse mounted - lots of fun to figure that one out... Everything is std accept the SS button parts themselves. the center button has a weird rubber boot on it, but it sure works well...
I got an S2+ last week and it has been amazing, I ordered another one the next day. It may not be the smallest, but is just about perfect for what I need. I can’t imagine anyone being disapointed in it. The spill is great and throws better than expected.
The tailcap housing is physically different btw for the red S2+. The last pic above shows it - that red ridge around the SS - it protrudes up -- that's not on a standard S2+ tailcap. So, I'm thinking it would not be possible (or the same) to get a SS button conversion kit for a conventional S2+ w/rubber boot.
