When I joined this forum I was warned up front to hide my wallet. Yeah…I didn’t listen.
I ordered a Convoy S2+ from Simon (at his Aliexpress store) back in February. Received it and I really liked it a lot. In fact I’ve got it in my cargo pocket as I type this. I got the one with the 7135*3 because I wanted to maximize my run time and paid $14.92. Flash forward to last weekend. For some reason I wondered if they made a holster for it. So I found one on Fasttech:
Well the price was so cheap, especially with the BLF code I figured I’d order three of them so I had a couple of spares. Well that led me to thinking about getting a second Convoy S2+. You know, to have a spare on hand. After all, I’m a prepper and we live by the ‘two is one and one is none’ philosophy. So I ordered one off Banggood (7135*4) for like $13.72 (with the BLF code). So that’s on the way.
So I come to the forum, to this thread to…you know…talk about the new one I ordered and what do I see in the post above?!? A friggin red one and an even cheaper price! Well, what the heck, I’ve got three holsters coming in so I may as well have a third Convoy S2+ on the way as well. And it’s 7135*8 on top of it so I’ll be able to compare between the 3,4 and 8. You know, for scientific research and all…
So thanks a lot, who should I send the bill to?
“Hi sweetheart, whatcha need? Okay. Uh huh. Got it. Okay, you need milk, eggs a loaf of bread some stamps and by the way I ordered two more flashlights, okay love you gotta go. Click.”
- you never know... Went to work yesterday, Friday, with 2 modded lights: my BLF EE A6 quad (the wow light), and a more practical ZY-T11 clone set for ~4.0A, XM-L2 U2 3C, UCLp lens, copper penny in the pill, bypass's, etc., with my custom e-switch firmware. My boss asks me what lights I had with me - says he needs a light to gift to his father for his birthday - Sunday. Showed him the ZY-T11 clone - sold, $50 with the LG MH1 I had in it and the holster it was in.
I dunno, but this $13 shipped deal is fantastic. For me to mod, it's basically the cost of the host, but throw in a $5 LED and driver than can be re-used.
I just checked the discount code and it's still working and looks like for any qty.
I don’t know if GB still has the $9 deal on the F13 but I know they had it for quite a long time. I ordered four of those during that deal.
Soon as I saw your post above I went and checked the Convoy out and yep, deal still was working which is why I jumped on it. Forgot to say thanks for the link
Yay….The convoy entered my country today. It should be at my mailbox in 2 days or so Kind of waiting to check out the floodiness of it and the great neutral tint
i received mine today, less than a month from i ordered it. i’m not sure about the tint, seems a bit green to me? just tried it indoors, and against a couple of other flashlights (a ww nichia 119, a xeno e3 in NW, and something in unknown tint…)
otherwise i think it’s a nice flashlight so far
I’ve had mine in 4C tint for the last few days, and there is (of course) a bit too much yellow/green. - I knew that this would be the case before I ordered it. - I really do like the light.
Why can’t they ever offer anything below the BBL except for the 1A?
Weird - I like the 4C tint - can't notice any green or yellows. Got a bunch of lights with them, plus the fact that it seems like these 4C's on the market can be driven to 6.5A. To me it looks like a soft smooth white, though I like the 5B1's better when compared side by side. The D's though are also nice: 3D, 4D's. Never cared for the 1C's or 1D's, since they seem to have the yellowish tint in the corona of the hot spot, and the blue tinted spill - the only thing white is the hot spot. The 5B1's look smooth white consistent through-out, even in an SMO focused beam pattern.
A lot of the tint issues depends on the optics of the light though, and of course the eyes of the viewer.
What a joke…… I have to go at the Customs to fetch a $9.21 declared flashlight. We have an allowance of about $75 normally. Items as big as sjcam4000, Mlais phones, Fenix BC30 packages have come to my house delivered by the postman this year. I don’t understand why such a small puny item is detained pending I go fetch it…
I just received the red S2+ form Gearbest and I cannot get the memory mode to work. It always turns on at the next mode which is so very annoying. Especially when I switch it off from High, and I turn it on a minute later and it is on Strobe.
I even cancelled the "disco" modes (turn off and on again when at Low and light flashes once). I still cannot get the memory mode to work. I turn it off from High, leave it for a minute and then it turns on at low. Any ideas? Thanks
