I am curious what types of 18650 light either come with a TIR lens or can be modified to run a TIR? I’ve got a nice array of Convoy lights, but I’ve not exactly sure which light would be a good fit.
Acebeam L17
S2+ pretty much drops in a 20mm TIR lens.
Acebeam P16, Olight Warrior Mini 3, Wurkkos TS11 with extension tube.
This, and pretty much all lights that use a Convoy S2+ sized reflector.
Convoy has smooth, frosted, and beaded TIRs that are compatible, and Carclo has 10193 which is my favorite of the bunch, it is compatible with Convoy 7mm 3535 gaskets and unlike most TIRs have very little tint shift.
In terms of Convoy offerings, my favorite are the narrowest beaded 3535 TIR and the narrowest smooth 5050 TIR. Very good throw performance and beam homogeneity, no ugly tint shift.
Thanks!
I am picking up a bunch, since they cost less that a soda / pop can. I’m wanting to use a striped one for a bike light, but I will try your recommendations.
