【convoy】SFT70 3000K CRI95 available

@alumenum, I have a Convoy S21B with the B35AM, and it works great on my bike, no smoking at all or any issues outside of being rosy on turbo when neutral would be better.

No problem with my M21B with B35AM. In fact it is the coolest running Convoy flashlight I have, by a wide margin, as if it’s not driven high/hard enough. I posted the following informal comparison a while ago:

SBT90.2 or maybe SFH55
When will you create the Aliexpress page for the driver?

@simon, I have an interesting question.
I’m planning on ordering another S21B soon, and I noticed that you offer different types of 21700 cells in the battery section, including the EVE INR21700E.

My plan is to order the S21B with the EVE 21700 cell instead of the usual Liitokala cell.

Is there a special link I can use to do this or do I pay you in a different manner? For good reasons, I don’t want the cell to be shipped separately because of high shipping costs :slight_smile:

I can’t see the battery pages/links either…seems to happen a lot with cells on ali from US location. On the topic of choice, though, I think the 50E is great in a lot of lights. As you push up toward the 80% mark of the CDR then it’s diminishing returns and a high drain cell with less capacity might do better and give the same or longer run time. I’ve been really happy with the 50E in several lights…they just don’t pull the amps. I have a lot of 40T and the Sofirn cells, too, and in some lights it’s worth it.

If you have affordable access to the Vapcell G50, that’s a Samsung 50G inside and it’s a noticeable improvement over the 50E…less sag and the same nice high capacity. I got a couple of those for use in Simon’s zooty UV light with the SBT10X high power emitter and the boost driver…big difference in run time since those like more forward voltage. Definitely saw improved output and runtime in an S21B outfitted with the LG emitter, too (plain driver). Great cell.

Try SFP55 , double bright than SFH55 , but you need highter output driver like 54A or more

I would but I don’t have any source for them

Just wanted to update on this.

I applied for a refund (sent a video of the smoking LED) and it was approved within an hour.

This is the kind of excellent customer service that had me immediately shopping for another Convoy light. Really amazing. Thanks, Simon, for such awesome service as well as all you do for the community, and all the awesome lights you make.

Maybe preaching to the choir on here, but just wanted to follow up and share how awesome Convoy is.

Thanks, cannga. I had seen that comparison, and read a lot of your great write-ups before purchasing the S16. Mine doesn’t get very hot on 100% either, but still smokes.

Thanks, BlueSwordM. Seems like no one else has the smoking issue, so I’m inclined to believe mine was indeed an isolated case as Simon suggested. Yea the tint is quite good. Better than 519A especially on low levels. It’s hard to really nail neutral without being green on low. I suspect it’d be even better on the S16 if it had a green AR coated lens instead of the purple it comes with.

Thanks for the update alumenum.

It’s always good to hear about problems that get resolved and it shows once again why Simon is an excellent choice for flashlights! :beer:

I soon passed through the busiest period of the year.
The destruction of power facilities in Ukraine has led to a significant increase in the demand for flashlights in Ukraine.I have never been so tired as this year.

I will gradually use the EVE battery and replace the original liitokala battery.
EvE batteries have good performance and are cheaper.
You can directly fill in the notes in your order to prompt me to replace the battery.

I contacted the AliExpress platform customer service.Customer service claims to be affected by new US regulations.The AliExpress US page will block all links to 18650 21700 14500 26650 lithium batteries.

@Simon Mao, thank you. I just wanted to make sure before I’d make the order.

BTW I can’t see any batteries too having Ukraine as a shipping location

Is there a current discount code for BLF?

I have an M21C-U that will work fine for a couple of minutes but then won’t go above the lowest mode. I tried charging/changing the battery, changing the driver, and changing the emitter. What else could the problem be? I don’t really know what else to try

Hey guys, any driver suggestion for a custom project with a 519A 2700K emitter in a M3-C host? :smiley:

AliExpress has disabled the coupon system. I’ve asked Simon for a free gift instead, and have gotten holsters before. Their holsters are good quality.

That’s weird. I wonder why…did someone come up with a rogue coupon code that made every item cost $0.01 or something?
