Does anyone have a review of the S21A yet?

Shipping started May 27th. I doubt anyone has had one long enough for a review. I ordered mine May 28th - and it just arrived in the states (Denver Colorado) per tracking. Should get to where I live (Oregon) by Thursday/Friday.

Just wondering, since I notice that the regular S2+ and C8+ also have SST40 LED variants.

So the S2+ with SST40 is basically the same as the S21A (with SST40), except the S21A has access to more power (due to more powerful 21700 battery), and they use the same 4-mode driver.

Same goes with the C8+ with SST40 (which now has 2 variants: “ramping” and “4-mode” driver), the M21A (C8 that uses 21700 battery) would be the same as the C8+ with SST40 (4-mode driver), but with access to more powerful 21700 battery.

question:
I’m guessing the Convoy L21A with SST40 be more throwy (throws farther) than the Convoy L2 with XHP50.2, but less throwy than Convoy L2 with XPL-Hi, right?

Any news about the AA titanium flashlight?

Terry_Oregon · 2019-06-11T14:17:29.000Z

Simon, can the S21A be special ordered with Biscottie?

7135*10 with biscotti?

by the way ,i asked manufacturer to make a driver sample with crescendo

man…… i want crecendo UI

oweban · 2019-06-12T08:48:35.000Z

Do those 6A drivers use an ATtiny chip?

Uch, I dont think I’d like it. Maybe I should try…
But in my opinion most people get used to non ramping UI, just 4-5 modes

Blggg · 2019-06-12T10:50:16.000Z

Agreed. I personally prefer more common modes, something like 0.1, 1, 3, 10, 50, 100, etc.

Sounds great, love crescendo, looking forward to that option.

Simon, can you already estimate by when L21A with XHP35 HI (2.3A current @ LED) will be available to order? I'm about to submit a substantial order but I'm a bit reluctant as L21A XHP35HI would probably be more interesting to me than L21A SST40 6.500K. Thank you! Cheers, Thomas

Simon,
I am sure you are pretty busy but I wanted to know if
you were able to fix the driver?

I have tried a lot, but it has not been solved yet.

I want to introduce other firmware, such as bistro, crescendo

Thank you for getting back, :heart_eyes:
I guess this looks like a really expensive fix.

Are the S2+ Colors going to be discontinued
or updated with new firmware? :cry:

production time of driver is about 10-15days

do you colors for other model ?

Sst 40 5000K kick the deal breaker away!

I’d love to see an orange C8+, or maybe the L2 or L21. Something very “search and rescue” about an orange thrower.

Hello Simon, I am very happy to see you added quality 18650 cells. Can these cells be added to any order

S2+ and S21A are not the same, size of reflector is different, heat sinking (S2+ will be the hottest, so to run 3A+ better get something else), not tested L21A and L2, but everything with XPL-HI has more throw, as it is dedomed LED
