Yas, mine is green boot. Didn’t realize that there was a different s2+ with black boot, I just saw it at Simon’s site. There it says that “the inner diameter has been changed to18,7 to avoid rattling of batts”, so my guess is that its fit is as tight as mine or tighter. I can tell you, a protected pannie does not rattle for sure: have seen looser condoms.
Convoy may have bitten a big one with that ID mod.
I just measured my new EvvaTech 3400 mah cells (MMR) and it comes in at 18.66mm at the jumper lead under the cover and no label over it.
My KeepPower 3400mah cells at 18.62mm. My older XTAR 2600 measure in at 18.59mm
And Simon, if you are reading this, you might also note:
In rigid mounted bicycle flashlights, minimal solder on the springs is a real problem and potentially hazardous.
I have had spring solder joints like this crack and could be dangerous is it shorted the cell by the spring touching the housing or other components. I have learned to resolder the springs on my bicycle mounted flashlights. I make sure the solder is all the way around. No more failures.
Also, having the spring on both ends is important for bicycle mounted flashlights. This is what prevents mode shifting from bumps. This is one very good thing about your flashlights.
i have to rectify: the one i just received from FT with a tight fit has BLACK swith so I guess it is the new version which explains the surgeon glove- fitting
Ordered 2 sets of red S2+ host on the 22th, shipped on the 23th
Thanks Simon
Once again, please provide this as a host in other colors than red. There was some info about blue version, not being sold yet.
The metal switch cover instead of silicone looks nice and I think many of us would appreciate it being available with other color options as well. Heck even sell a black version of this tail with the metal switch cover.
I love a nice deep blue purple. :party: I’d take standard blue too.
Unfortunately Simon (convoy-flashlight) hasn’t been online on BLF for 10 weeks. We can message him through aliexpress though.
A nice deep olive green, or a dark earth brown would be good colors as well for this light….
This light is an awesome colour 
More colours is always good, but how can you look bright red in the eye and say its inadequate 
I’d buy one if it wasn’t red. As I have a S2 2.8A XML U2 I’m not sure that I’d notice much difference in brightness. Is the S2+ a better host than the S2?
I’d like to see this in an international orange or hi-vis color.
+1 on this, International orange may be a pain for an anodizing, but it would look trick!
Does the 3/5 driver used in these have a timed step down on turbo?
No
Just got mine .
I like it . Very floody compared to an S2 . The 4C tint is nice and the switch is really smooth .
Recommended .
Jack,
Just got mine today, and was about to post, but you said it for me:-)
I have Xp-G2s for throw in a small light, and have larger XM-L2s for flood or throw, but this light really fills a niche for me.
This is a really good light for “Up-Close”.
What a deal for 13 bucks at Gearbest!
Thanks,
-Chuck
How long can you guys hold it in your hands on turbo?
Don’t know… I’m really pretty easy on my stuff, and really conservative.
It gets hot pretty quick on high, but most of the time I use Med. - Never too hot to hold.
BTW - Love the looks of your Island!
Thanks,
-Chuck
I intend to use this light as a bike light , probably on medium .
As I usually average around 14 MPH , the air movement will keep it cool .
Just holding the light on high , it will be too hot to hold ( comfortably ) in 4 minutes or so .
Glad you like it 
You should come someday!
3-4 minutes on turbo is all I need I guess….High at about 500 lumens should do for general everyday use!
At 2.8A on a XM-L2, should be more like 800 lumens, I would think?
“Glad you like it - You should come someday!”
All it takes is a Ticket, but I can’t seem to find mine:-(
Thanks,
-Chuck
