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
Thanks Chuck, your help is much appreciated, I would have never thought of that.
Now I leave it to RUN for 5secs in High, I switch it off and when I switch it on again after a few seconds it on is on "High" again. So yes, the memory seems to work as you suggested.
But
If at any time I leave it ON at any given mode for less than 5secs, the light switches on at the next mode.
Example:
-Switch ON in High, stays on for 5 secs, then switch OFF --->
-Switch ON again in High (memory mode works), light stays on for less than 5 secs, then switch OFF --->
-Switch ON in Low (next mode, no memory)
I want the light to always switch On in High, and somehow it always switches On in Low (I know why: because now that I test the S2+ I forget to leave it On for 5secs in any mode).
I think the UI in this light is a little counter-intuitive. You need to think "1-banana, 2-banana, 3-banana, 4-banana, 5-banana" before switching OFF, or you won't have mode memory!
