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
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.
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?
Got an S2+ from GB. The light looks nice, but when I opened it up...I smelled...cheap! Aluminum pill w/ press fit driver retaining ring and an aluminum switch retaining ring also!!
