Hi,
I ordered two Convoy S2+ with 519A,R9080,DTP copper plate,ar coated glass lens,5amps 12 groups,18650 flashlight, Torch, orange peel reflector lights a week apart from the Ali Convoy store.
The first was black with 2700k led and the second a blue with 4500k led.
The first one with rubber switch and simple lanyard came in the usual white flashlight shaped box and the second one with metal switch and fancy lanyard came in a gift box.
Has there been a change in the packaging and switch in recent weeks? Is the metal switch supposed to be better or an upgrade?
Really no issue this side just the gift box packaging is great specially if I’ll be sending to friends as gifts.
The adjustable lanyard and metal switch is quite cool too!!
Is it just hit and miss or is there a way to consistently get the gift box packaged unit with all of its extras?
It’s been some years now, maybe 4 or 5, that he started using the nice gift box for the S2+ colors with the metal switch. The traditional rubber switches just get the flimsy tube-box….not sure about the purple body UV light with the rubber switch. I suppose if you asked nicely he’d probably send any light in the gift box as long as it fits (and assuming it survives shipping…about half of mine got dinged up bad enough to rule out using them as actual gifting boxes). Most people think the metal switch is better and like the click of it, but some prefer the wider grippy rubber button. The sand/tan version of the light comes with a black metal button. Those metal buttons can be bought separately in other stores, if you want, but of course you need a cap with the smaller threaded hole/boss.
It’s worth just DM-ing him on aliexpress. I’m sure it’s almost no trouble at all just to swap out the boxes.
Black and Grey come with rubber switch and simple box, Colors come with metal switch and nice box.
Thanks for the replies!
