a s2+ with triple optics and 21700 would be really nice light.
Why triple when the original S2+ can already accomodate triples? The S2+ 21700 should be sized to accommodate a Carclo 24mm diameter quad optic. Quad will provide a little extra output and efficiency over triple.
Are the tint options 5700 & 4700 as in the thread title or 5700 & 4000 as on the website linked in the first post?
Regarding the UI, is direct access to low from off available only if memory is disabled or if it is the memorized mode?
What battery would you recommend for the S2+? I don’t have any 18650.
Thanks.
Normally the lights come with pocket clip
About the UI, you can configure the modes you want according to the this diagram: http://i.imgur.com/jvx04IR.jpg
So, you can put it starting from moonlight, if memory is disabled! If memory is enabled (last mode memory), you can leave it in Moonlight before turning the light OFF and then it will start in Moonlight.
Taking into account the configuration of this flashlight (4*7135, and Nichia), I would recommend Panasonic NCR18650B (it is not a high drain battery, and has plenty capacity for longer runtimes).
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the info.
Too bad that one can’t have memory enabled and still have direct access to low without low being the last mode used.
Glad that it comes with a clip – none was mentioned at the website in the link in the first post.
I may end up getting one anyway in the not too distant future.

The NCR18650GA/LG MJ1/Samsung 35E are at most about $1 expensive more than a NCR18650B (if not the same price) and surpass the later in both capacity and discharge rate. IMHO unless price is a prime concern (and you are buying many cells to offset the shipping costs) there is little reason to buy a NCR18650B nowadays.

Nice I don’t know or own the ones you mentioned, but I guess they must be taken into account then! I remember seeing the graphic for the Samsung 35E and indeed they are good! Thanks for “correcting” me on this
High CRI emitter options, very nice to see Simon. Still, for driver I would prefer something regulated, PWM free. Stock configurations with LD-25 could be a nice idea, although I understand it increases cost a little bit. Or maybe not? It's a supply and demand thing, doesn't it?
Cheers

2.I dont understand the second question.sorry.
3.You can active the memory or disable the memory.If the memory is disabled,flashlight enters into the first mode when you turn it on.
4.S2+ only runs on 18650 lithium battery .What kind of battery do you use usually?

carclo is expensive and not easy to be bought in China,i want to do a little change with S2+ 21700 to adapt following quad optic.

Yes,I can install LD25. i can sell this version to buyers if they ask me to do this customization

4. I don’t have any 18650 batteries, so I would have to buy at least one, if I bought this light.

The optic you show don’t have legs. When you twist the threaded pill into the head, the optic might shear off the emitters. But I guess if you make the head accomodate 24mm dia., it will work with Carclo quad.
And this is really great news. Looking forward to this and hopefully a copper version in the future.

Since you are just designing the host to accommodate a quad optic instead of making a quad version of the S2+ 21700, you can just design it around a Carclo optic. file:///C:/Users/dAbOMb/Downloads/2D%20Customer%20Drawing%20(PDF).pdf

uh,is it folder path of your PC?

i know this lens has no legs.I will try other method to cope with this situation.
Simon said “carclo is expensive and not easy to be bought in China”, dear Carclo lovers. This means it is unrealistical for him to design his flashlights around Carclo optics. Maybe you could ask him to choose some alternative optics manufacturer making Carclo compatible stuff.

Good idea!
The LD25 could use better mode spacing though..
Low is very low and medium is a little high..
Great to see you here listening to the community Simon!
I was afraid you were getting behind on the newer flashlight developments, but I see you won’t let that happen.
+1 !!!
Great to have you here, Simon !
The colored bodies are nice, but the high-CRI are even nicer !
And, most important, especially the high-CRI put you into the flashlight leaders ! I really hope the market will honor the better light quality over merely higher numbers for the lumens !

MY REVIEWS THREAD /// My Flashlight Collection ///
Mods: 1 / 2 // TIR: 1 / 2 // Others: Biscotti 3 + 1*7135 / Triple TIR w/ XP-G2 /// My Review's Blog (PT) /// OL Contest 2019 /// OL Contest 2020 /// GIVEAWAYs: 1 / 2
Please note that only the more luxurious versions (the ones with steel switches) come in in a nice gift box with a clip and luxurious lanyard.
The cheap rubber switch types come with a standard lanyard without clip in a flimsy cheap cardboard box
WTB: Jetbeam TCR-1 or Sunwayman V10R Ti
Okay, so the one linked in the first post doesn’t have a clip, since it’s got a rubber switch cover and the clip isn’t mentioned in the ad.
What clip would be recommended that Aliexpress offers?
Thanks
You’re right, no clip in the “normal” versions! Sorry, my mistake

- Yeah, but is it ultra high CRI?
Of course it can installed in M2,too
I think reflector is better than TIR if you want the flashlight to be throwier one.

Take your time ,pls tell me when you confirm the configuration, I will add link in my store,
@LightObsession, I would recommend the Samsung 35E for maximum capacity and still good power output with more powerful lights:

So confused. Too lazy to watch your collection
This is an M1:
Anodized aluminium bezel, wider and more conical head, deeper fins, and the body is knurled.
I do want an M2 for myself tho
Eventually, I’ll have it.
Good idea!

You can customize the modes yourself.

Simon, here’s a Carclo quad optic cut sheet I found. You can also buy them from Intl-outdoor.com as they are shipped from China.
