Convoy 7135*4 & 7135*6 Runtime

@Otanacious

I have two Cateye HL-EL135Ns that are on blinking mode while I ride during the day for oncoming traffic visibility, so I think using the strobe on the S2+ during the day would be ideal, but care to point it down once the sun starts to set.

As for the 10197, after reading garrybunk’s thread on diffusing techniques I definitely wanted to have a 30*60 wide beam. If you’re in the states, LEDSupply has them for $1.25 shipped w/ tracking, otherwise Intl-Outdoor has them in a 2-pack for $2.65.

The ones from Int. Outdoor as described as 23.8 mm diameter x 12.8 Height whereas 10197 Carclo Lens from LED supply are 20mm and look slightly different. Simon’s Convoy store in ebay sells and recommends 20 x 11.2 (0.58$/ea.) and those are shown to fit perfectly in convoy s2+ out of the box. So anybody really tested the Int-outdoors? Would like to buy from simon but he sells in 10-packs

I saw that too until Hikelite told me in my WTB thread told me the added size are just the optic holders, most likely can take them out. :)

Hi all,

Long time lurker here, finally posting as I need some help with selecting the right driver for my convoy S2+.

I am intending to buy 2 Convoy S2+ to use as bicycle lights. The lights will probably spend 70% of their life in strobe mode, and the other 30% in high mode.

What kind of runtimes can I expect on (a) strobe and (b) high with 7135*4 & 7135*6 drivers?

Thanks.

Please don’t use strobe on a bike. It is not only very distracting, but dangerous. It can dazzle on coming traffic and judging speed and distance of a flashing light is far more difficult than a static one.

If you note, cars do not use flashing lights to mark their position.

Thanks, so did you buy them from Int.Out?. But from your thread it seems you were interested on a fit for a Convoy 2. I understand from this thread that the s2 could need a spacer and the s2+ not for the model that simon sells in alliexpress. I am still confused, anybody has really tried (1st-hand) the Int.Outdoors in a convoy s2+?

I understand “from this thread”:Use the lens to replace the relfector of Convoy S2+ flashlight that the s2 could need a spacer and the s2+ not for “the model that simon sells in alliexpress”:Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com.

Originally it was for the S2 yes, and RMM does not have single emitter spacers (nor do they exist AFAIK). I ended up getting an Eagle Eye X2 which is practically an S2+ with a different driver and 10197 optics from LEDSupply. I've yet to try the optics from IOS since LEDSupply is much more convenient (in the states).

Thanks for the explanation Dave.

Given those figures I’ll probably stick to the 7135*4. On a bicycle runtime is probably a little more important to me than a few extra lumens.

Cheers

if you have the AVR USB isp programmer and a clip you can configure your own modes, so you don’t have to limit them by limiting the number of 7135 regulators.
There are also some drive firmewares whece you can reconfigre modes with clicks of the button.
