Red S2+ flashlight ,for girls,for your lover

Yes, please! Even my wife smiled when I showed her a picture of the blue Convoy. And she HATES flashlights (in general).

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!!

Same here. I wonder what Simon has to say about these. Are they some kind of Convoy knockoff? It’s supposed to have brass pill and retainer rings. The box is different and they sent me a cool white instead of a 4C neutral white.

Hum….Maybe GB has a custom order with inferior parts to cut price even further…hum hum….I don’t like this one little bit.

Ah, no wonder it was so cheap…

Or… it’s a fake! If you want genuine Convoy, why don’t you buy from Convoy? Seems to me that should be the best and cheapest route. :party:

I got 2 inbound as well. I do not mind alu pill but press fit driver retaining ring? Wonder will it last as long as brass,

Other colors would be nice… especially purple. Deep dark primary purple or dark magenta plum purple, not some light pastel shade. There are far too few purple lights in the world. And dark turquoise.

I have a red S2+ with a XP-G2 triple, 10508 optic, and FET+1 driver, and it’s one of my nicest lights. 0.3 lm on moon, 2250 lm on turbo. Great flooder, and the best biking light I’ve ever tried. I’d totally make more if it came in other good colors. :slight_smile:

Would also be nice to see a version designed to hold a triple without a spacer. It could be shorter, and the top of the pill would need to be flat instead of recessed, with a hole only in the center. Would probably also need the top of the pill to be a bit thicker.

Here's a pic of the driver on the $12.99 Red S2+ from GB, definitely looks press fit to me. It also pulled only 2.02A at the tail on a 25R...probably a 6*7135 configuration.

Oh my…

This is the old design, and the spring loks a lot cheaper than the “original”.

I would contact Convoy and ask, if this is a fake or if they make those for resellers

What tint did you get? They were supposed to be 4C but they sent me a 1A.

N10sivern does cerakote services

the spring is definitely a cheaper flimsy spring than what is found usually on the 105x drivers.

paging Dr.Simon

It's cool white, just ever so slightly cooler than many of the "1A"s I've had before, but still a cool white.

A colored convoy would skip the additional costs of cerakote.

I can see holes to screw in the retaining ring. You sure it’s press fit?

this title seems a bit BIASED

I am a Straight guy and I like red flashlights, even purple ones. Pink eh not so much.

I also have the GB special, $12.99, 2.8A 4C.

It looks different than what you have pictured, stronger spring, four 7135s showing, each 90° apart, Brass retaining ring.

It looks like the one that RMM has pictured, but his is 6X 7135.

I believe they are for removing the pill from the head, when I did try unscrewing it with the pill out of the head, it would not budge one bit.

I’ll hold off and wait for a blue version. It does appear that GB is selling clones based on the comments made by the guys

I have also bought the GB special with the 4C colour. I refer to chuckhof for the description, to which I would like to add that the driver is soldered to the brass pill. The driver is IMHO identical with this one: https://wwItsw.fasttech.com/product/1186301-8-amc7135-2-group-2-5-modes-led-flashlight-driver

I definitely would not be happy with that S2+ from GB. The build looks pretty inferior. I’s buy all by Convoy’s from Simon.
