I took a look at Roche F6, but not suitable for me. First is the heat management ‘seems’ not sufficient, second the attack design is not nice, even after remove it.
Although the charger head is a nice addition, but it greatly increase budget.
Its a bit different from what I see, at least the memory function is different. (I saw somewhere, still will save memory, but slower)
I’m not staying at USA, if not I will get that USPS I just ordered my Convoy M1 from banggood, let’s see how long I will get. Will make a small review once I got it. What is the paypal deadline ?
Convoy S8 offer by FT only deliver about 1Ampere, which is sufficient and excellent for close range, but still not good enough for me in mid range shine. (have cheap C8 with 1A, focus beam not enough for me, just barely)
I just ordered from Banggood with unregistered mail, let see how long it takes. (do registered mail make it safer anyway ? just you could track it )
So: 7135 based drivers are cheaper, available, as efficient as a buck driver in a 1x18650 configuration. So why do you still want a buck driver? It just makes no sense to me.
Even in low modes the buck driver won’t be much more efficient, if any.
I just ordered it 6th June and it arrive yesterday (16th June), its just about 10 days. Thumbs up :bigsmile:
Convoy M1 7135*8 XM-L2 U2-1A
Looks good and it perform good too, well, have to use it longer later. Still busy this few day, maybe release and review later on.
But the obvious difference I can see here is that the sequence of mode, according to Fasttech is high to low, banggood is low to high (I didn’t notice that when I brought it) Group change also working, I love it so much. (finding right brightness with flashing around just not friendly at all)
The mode memory works only if you stay on that mode more than few seconds before turn off (approx 2-3 seconds), if not it will change into next mode. (which I thought initially was next mode memory) The output is high, although I haven’t measure it. (current)
It have brass insert on all connection, lightly pre-lube thread, which should be lasting to use. I like the way they build the tailcap, convenient nice and can tailstand and strap at the same time.
Will have fun using it on my working place first, after few day only I get my offday then I will start my review. Going to be my first review here.
(if anything you interest to know, please let me know so I can look into it. Beginner here, dunno what to put into review)
