【convoy】SFT70 3000K CRI95 available

It seems that few people have such a demand.

i will produce 6A driver with one mode in the future

uh ,i hope luminus launches 4000K ,too

Short and long press? My personal best is single press - next mode, double press - previous mode, 3 press - strobe, e.g. 6 press config mode, and so on.

Which UI is it ?

This is the legendary UI, have it in my first flashlight, bought online, and it has this great UI with many more options. Never found it again anywhere as only driver, wondering why nobody is selling it

Double press on a clicky for previous mode? Interesting, I’ve actually never heard of that before.

Personally I can’t see that as being superior to long press for previous mode, but long press has to work consistently and that has higher hardware requirements.

I’m with you on this one! Curious to see what you got for us Simon :wink: :blush:

Simon, will the new flashlights have 1, 10, 40, 100, or 0,1, 3, 30, 100? I think second option is better, moonlight is sometimes needed.

With double press you can’t go wrong, double press is always previous mode, single is always next. With this long/short press you can press a bit too long, or too short and have wrong mode. You would love it :wink:

I wish Simon had that in his flashlights

It’s like Crescendo, except it has levels and not ramping. It would be amazing to use! I would love that with the ability to turn mode memory on/off. With mode memory off, click on to get moon and double half tap, boom! Turbo.

Thank you Oweban, you are kind and a real flashlights guru!! Regards

Yes, this driver has ability to turn mode memory on/off, check the battery voltage, you can change the amount of modes from 1 to 5, change brightness of each mode (choosen from 15 brightness steps, 7 noPWM), increase or decrease temperature of thermal protection, and my favourite, you can have 2 mode groups, up to 5 modes in each group, e.g. one with memory mode on, and another with off, you can switch between those groups by 9-half presses. So you can have memory off 0,05, 1, 10, 40 and in another group memory on 5, 40, 100%.Perfect, love it.
And if it seems too hard for average users, they can just use 1press - next, 2presses - previous and 3presses - strobe, maybe 9presses for group changing, easy to remember.

If only Simon was interested in making it, I would send him full list of functions

Thanks rooirissi :slight_smile:

Mocarny, what light was this UI in? Curious to learn a bit more.

Interesting UI, but i like to skip quickly through the modes to get to the one i want which i’m assuming would not be possible with this UI? For example, trying to skip 2 modes forward would give me the previous mode instead.

Sorry, but don’t understand, you are asking about flashlight type?

Yeah, as in where did you come across this driver?

Hmm yes, but it is not that much longer, and have some pros. E.g. with 4 modes, being on 1-st you have instant access to 4-th (let’s say 100%) and 2-nd, only mode you have to press - wait while it changes (about 0,5s) - press is 3-rd.

About 3 years ago I bought Solarforce L2P from a guy that modifies flahlights as a hobby, but I asked him to buy that driver lately, and no answer

It tooks years to Simon to changes the Convoy 3/5 modes UI to Biscotti that was already existing and ready to be flashed, just like Bistro with ascending/descending UI which is a bit “better” in my opinion than Biscotti, but still not used.
Toykeeper also proposed to help to improve Convoy driver and UI, but remained dead letter.
Then how much chance for your list of fonctions to be implemented from scratch ?

I don’t want to discourage you, years ago it took me quite some time to convince solarforce to make a SS bezel protecting the front (L2-B6 bezel) of the L2 series instead of the default SS recessed bezel and Xenoled to use neutral and warm white LEDs and change the default “tactical” UI with High to Low modes order for L to H.
But at least I had conversations with them, Simon is on another level (no offense intended).
