I’m curious if with a Fresnel lens the head might not have to be made so thick and the lens could be thinner and larger.

On the Convoy website all of the LEDs are crossed out. Is there a meaning to it?
Oh, they are all out of stock it seems…
Holidays.

I’m reading on the Convoy UI. Other than choosing one of 12 groups and the last level memory on or off, are there any shortcuts (to max or min or strobe)?
No. Maybe the ramping driver has some shortcuts.

Can Z1 be easily disassembled to e.g. lubricate the threads if the zooming head?
This is a really good idea. The current light has a very thick rim that wastes a lot of frontal area that could otherwise be used for throw. An additional advantage of Fresnel lens (aside from cost/size/weight) is that it can be protected behind a normal flat glass lens.
I’m think about trying one of those survival kit lenses, but unfortunately they seem to all have way too long focal length.

Not seeing the point of LEPs. Pencil beam does not have a use case other then wowing your friends.
Good point, but in the Z1 zoom case the OP video convinced me that this light may be quite useful.
A somewhat related question: since Z1 doesn’t have an on-board charger, in order to avoid carrying a separate charger, is there a decent 21700 battery with a built-in USB-C charger?
I don’t recommend greasing the threads, it projects through the lens. I had to remove the grease after this.
Please explain.
The grease reflects the light and you can see the threads in the beam.

Because the first grooves of the reflector head are exposed to light, when the head is unscrewed (zoomed in). It makes sense.
I’ve applied grease on the zoom lens threads on mine and haven’t noticed that problem.
