Stainless AAA XP-E2 twistie at Convoy's store

Hmm… I like both of them!

Original is still available on fasttech albeit more pricey ($11.68 with BLF coupon):
[FT] 1*LED 1-Mode 105LM LED Keychain Flashlight

You have created a new need

:person_facepalming:

:heart_eyes: nice one Simon :+1:

FT is reputed for poor stock management and i would not be surprised it turns out ‘restocking’ once ordered…

How come Simon is cloning now?
Where does this new Convoy AAA comes from?

Heheh I saw this Tiny Torch today
Love the name and material used.

How do you mean “now” ? As far as I know most (if not all) Convoy designs are some better than average generic host picked by Simon and manufactured to his standard with Convoy logo and standard AMC drivers. No original designs as far as I understand. Correct me if I’m wrong.

It started out that way from what I hear but there are lots of original designs now such as the L2 and L6 and far as I know the whole BD lineup.

You may well be right… I guess i haven’t been addicted to fl long enough to tell wether other Convoy lights have borrowed some existing design. In that particular case the two lights have exactly the same body, material and finish except for the dots/grooves. Honestly i don’t care. Just surprised.

I think this is just a product that Simon is selling, not something he is making himself. I see no reference to the convoy brand on the listing or the light?

… the choice of three tints is in line with Convoy it seems?

what a nice light! guess I’ll order the 5000K variant

Maybe Simon worked with them but BD lineup is stright up Dipper with proper logo :slight_smile: :
Dipper BD01
Dipper BD02
Dipper BD03
I believe those flashlights have many other names on chinese market - someone here gave some examples.
First version Convoy L2 was Dipper D19, current one probably as well. Didn’t researched L6 and know of no clones - but you see a pattern.
Having said that I still prefer Convoy anytime. Proven quality, reliable and even good looking western-centric logo(no chinese squiggles or chinglish) :slight_smile:

Do you like the small Dito Feng AAA??
Take a look at my small video here: Dito Feng flashlight :smiley: (scroll down the thread, the first video did not run… :person_facepalming: )
I like it so much!

It would be nice if there was a version in AA

No modes

I received two of them NW a few days ago.

Very nice SS AAA light. I like the brushed metal, its weight and overall design.

The nice thing is the twist head can be locked off by turning it a bit more then half a turn so it wont wiggle or come apart when off. You cannot remove the head actually. It’s a bit hard to turn it on one handed once locked though.

I wish it had two or three modes rather then just on/off like the BLF 348… BUT that makes it a nice gift for people who have trouble with modes - most people i know in fact…

I also wish the packaging would be nicer then the minimalist plain white self destructing cardboard box… My two lights where loose in the envelope when i received them - they had come out of their ‘package’. They where not protected by a bubble wrap sleeve either - just a tiny bit of bubble wrap tucked along, not enough to go around. I was lucky they where not damaged.

I’ll probably get a few more… and add a comment about packaging at order time. :smiley:

Hows the tint? Looks kind of greenish in the pics on aliexpress

There’s promo at BG for these right now for $9.99 and if you have enough BG points and VIP account it can be as low as $7.99. See deal alert thread for details.

It is.

Speaking of light output, this light is not a top performer either but it is very decent.

The beam is rather focused compared to other AAA i have and does throw further. However it is very ‘ringy’ and ‘rainbowy’ - if that makes sense. I’ll try to post some beam shots.

It’s not perfect… but it is sooo cute! I’m glad to add it to my AAA lineup.
