Normal so I can use a white one
And if I install a clip (why not metal colored instead of black???) I can always use a black rubber booth if there are not metal colored clips, I mean clear metal color body screams metal colored clip! Right?
Also I am fine with a metal switch like the red s2+
The convoy clip is already going to be black. Each variation you create adds costs. So if I was Simon3, I wouldnāt make a 2nd clip color. Just doesnāt seem worth it.
That was my thinking too. Brushed stainless and bare aluminum do not look the same.
To answer The Miller, the deep carry clip we have now cannot be made in a polished version. It was tried and did not work. Thatās why the clips are black. To make the clips in a polished version we would have to redesign the S2+ body with a wider groove. Even if we did that, itās a stainless clip on an aluminum body so a perfect match is not possible.
Simon is the one who stocked the clear boots for all you light-up guys so that wouldnāt be a problem if youāre ordering directly from Simon you could probably have that swapped out with a simple message in your order if the majority wants a rubber boot. This was really meant to be more about the metal switch color choice for a clear anodized version in my mind but that is why I made it a poll. If more people want a rubber switch than the metal one that can probably happen but lets not forget this picture from emarkdā¦ Iām surprised thatās not desired more than a clear boot in the case of the S2+ but Iām just one opinion.
Of course Iād assume emarkd would also be in my camp based on those photos but who knowsā¦
Ok so having never done a poll before I really donāt understand how they work. Is anyone reading this familiar with them? Can I see a running tally or can I only see the numbers when itās finished? I set it for three weeks if I recall correctly. I appear to have the option to cast a vote myself but I havenāt. I figure that might be considered bad form or something. Not to mention I know what choice Iād make.
Donāt forget about the Convoy S7, which has a polished steel host and a rubber boot. The boot is easy to switch out to any color you want. Itās also a bit narrower than other 18650 tube lights since the steel doesnāt need to be as thick to get the same strength, and itās much more resistant to wear.
However, itās also heavier and canāt shed heat as well, so not a good choice for a triple.
Iāve got a black boot on mine right now, but the plan is to give it a clear boot and fancy lighted tailcap.
SS switch with clear body and SS clip, do not care if do not match exactly . New here, and every light seems to be black body,black tailcap button and black clip ,like the change! :sunglasses:
The deep carry clip is black and canāt be changed (polished) without redesigning the light. Thereās always the bolt on stainless clip. Iām not a fan of it personally but some people like it. Clear ano with the standard stainless button is easy enough though.
Apparently Halo, not as many as I would have thought. Still Simon is working on making it happen for the Desert Tan S2+ so if thereās enough interest maybe it could just be made a selectable option like an emitter change as Dwantink suggested. I like that idea too.
Yea, bit of a surprise. I would have thought the fact that stainless steel and clear anodizing donāt really match would lead more people toward black.
Oh well. Whichever people prefer. Hopefully, the poll results are a good representation of what will sell best. You know, sight unseen.
