Too much of arguing over cheap lights :D!
Yes, the blue version is finally here. Not sure about that link in your post though. It wouldn’t translate properly for me and I didn’t see the light. This light just came out and I don’t think it’s anywhere but on Simon’s store which is this link. 12.64€ 27% OFF|Convoy S2 + blau XML2 U2 1A EDC LED Taschenlampe, taschenlampe, laterne, selbstverteidigung, camping licht, lampe, für fahrrad, geschenk für jungs|convoy s2|led flashlightxml2 u2-1a - AliExpress
I certainly wouldn’t consider buying anywhere else.
Um, that link tried to install malware on my phone.
Me too!
Did you click the blue button?
I’m not sure, I just saw a button that said ‘click here for boobs’. I pressed that one.
First mistake.
It only attempts to download something if I hit the blue button, which I think is like an Asian Tapatalk?
That’s awesome. I keep clicking on those too but I seem to be getting viruses all the time. Never seems to work out…
Do you say you keep getting viruses, you do mean your computer right? :bigsmile:
Oh right. Yeah, my computer (too).
No, simply following the posted link started what seemed to be an app download. Fortunately, I was able to kill the download manager before it finished, before any install was attempted. In any case, the link went somewhere which seems totally unrelated to the blue S2+, and tried to install something without permission. I wonder if WWEFANS has a virus which caused the wrong link to be posted.
It was Tmart that had the fake BLF X6 SE.

I know BG was selling real ones my original comment was not about fakes, it was more about not getting what you paid for or expected. I think all dealers have been guilty of that at one time or another. Including BG with the X6 host.
Weird. The first time I clicked the link it took me to a splash page that looked a lot like the tapatalk “install me” page (everything in chinese though)
Now it takes me here: (screenshot)
Folks, those who didnt notice it yet and it appears some of you havent, theres separate thread for blue S2+ 
I'm sorry. My PC is fine. That links to a Chinese forum,which usually requires to install an APP when you are on phone.
You can choose not to, but you will have little access to the threads. Such as no pic or smaller pic, or you can only read the 1st page of all the posts.
Edit: It is a branch of "baidu.com", the biggest search enegine in China.
Hey yeah… I seem to remember seeing that. Nice thread! :bigsmile:
I received my original S2+ yesterday, if anyones interested, here are some comparison pictures, original is on right and on top:
Powder coated(?) switch on fake, steel switch on original
Lanyard loop holes are more o shaped on original
Centering ring visible on fake one, appears to be centered on original one
Side panels where the branding is located have more squared sides on original one, also, text is crisper and smaller on genuine one
Guts
Fake one comes in cold blue tint, genuine one comes in warm white.
Clone consumes 0.08-0.1A on low, 0.55-0.6A on medium and 1.02-1.2A on high, genuine one 0.11/0.83-0.89/2.18-2.23 respecitvely. Not sure why my DMM showed this data fluctuating though!
Oh and switch is more responsive on original one, it switches modes without almost any delay whatsoever, while on clone it takes visible delay when the light shuts off before next mode is being turned on.
Thats about it regarding this light!
Nice post. Thanks for the comparison shots and describing the differences. I know that wrong is wrong but cloning a light that is so budget friendly already really ticks me off. Simon isn’t making millions selling Convoy lights (though he deserves to IMO) so it seems extra wrong to steal from him. Thanks.
