Hey no! Well maybe a little bit. When I say black button I mean that what I am asking for is the steel piston switch with a black coating. However, if that isn’t feasible I would settle for a black rubber boot. Tusken Raiders unite!
Bugsy old pal, I think a company representative is a paid position therefore I… am not that guy.
Alas, the smiles of a few fellow BLF nut jobs is payment enough… even if they are sticking out their tongues in my general direction in the process.
It will definitely fit the red, blue and green S2+ and the (hopefully) soon to be desert tan with black button :heart_eyes: It would also appear to fit the latest generation Convoy C8 and a few other S series models but I do not have a complete list yet. I expect one from Simon fairly soon
I do not have a price yet but this is Simon we’re talking about so it’s going to be very affordable.
So I was bit bye the bug. Did some research and got an order into Mountain Electronics. I ordered a dedomed Convoy C8, 8 7135, and a blue Convoy S2+ T6 3b bulb and 6 7135’s. Also got 2 Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh, and a charger/monitor w/led display. All for $86.
How did I do? I prolly won’t get to heavy into modding it out, but want a good starting point. Maybe my next one will be a green S2+ body and build from there. What will I get out of putting an AR lens in? What’s this about modding the springs, I’ll be around, nice meeting you folks
Welcome friend! You are in good company here. At least as far as being among friendly people who share your madness. In my opinion you made some good start-up choices. Don’t be afraid to talk to Richard at Mountain Electronics and ask him for advice. Great guy. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. That de-domed C8 should be a really nice thrower. Add a spring bypass and a different driver and the lumens (and throw) just get better with each step. Others will be able to offer more detailed advice on modding. My take on the AR lens is don’t put too much into that until you get heavier into it but opinions vary. I have AR lenses in most of my lights now. It’s not a night and day difference but if you’re going for numbers (lumens) there is a difference and all AR lenses are not created the same. With high quality AR coated lenses (check out UCL lenses) you may see a 5% increase in OTF lumens. I have a few that you have to look at just the right angle to see that there is a lens there at all. That’s what you’re shooting for. Ultimate light transmittance. Dale (DB Custom) has a link or two about the spring bypass mod. Others can step in here and direct you better than I can but if you can use a soldering iron a spring bypass seems one of the simplest ways to increase output.
I had to look at that this thread again and i was shocked that my sand colored s2+ wish is getting reality - maybe
with a black clip and a black button. Ok it seems i have to buy another convoy. I just wanted to order a convoy BD03 which gets kind of little attention i think.
That sand color is a bit to gold, more natural and super matte would be awesome. Maybe even more into bright olive.
It just might. I don’t have any promises yet but I had to admit once I saw similar color combinations I really like the idea. Now that the clip ended up black we’re halfway there already. I agree that the Roche color is more gold than the concept we are aiming for here. I like that one too but I’m hoping for a little more “earthy” with no mettalic for this one.
Just ordered the green.
Lost track of this topic so didn’t notice before it was already ready, but was just browsing his store and saw it
Will look cool next to the blue and red.
Simon should stop making all these colors, otherwise I am forced to buy new colors when they come out
