This is an interesting point–the modern 1mm^2 and 2mm^2-class emitters are much more demanding of optical precision compared to the previous generations of throwers, which are all 4mm^2 and above (e.g., XPL-HI), and some irregularities may have been hidden by the square emitting surface and the diffuse emission of the surrounding transparent silicone.

I wish there were still a reliable source for 7mm diameter 3535 square gaskets that are machined rather than molded.

Looking to try a SFT70 3000K in a Convoy light. Something general use, EDC size. Looks like M21B maybe the smaller host that LED is available in.
Any other smaller hosts for this LED?

1 Thank

Maybe the S21G? I think you can also ask Simon to put in a S2/S3…there is a 17mm 6v 30W driver

2 Thanks

I bet it would be delightful with a 20mm 5050 pebbled TIR (that also fits S2/S3).

1 Thank

Can’t wait for the LHP531 3000k. I have a 6500k in a S3 with the 3V 10a driver and the output is amazing, my guess is 3500 lumens…

2 Thanks

I have an SFT70 in an M2. It’s a great balance for EDC and the SFT70 makes some very nice light.

This just shows up today. He is relocating the factory soon.

Is there any information about these throwers?

Hopefully they aren’t throwers but Multi-LED Flooders :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I have the 3x21C with LHP531 in it - if you use the FET-Mode, you can just giggle…

3 Thanks

The 3x21C lhp531 is kind a flood thrower IMHO, and can’t agree more of how fun is this light.
By the way, I found a 46950 tube from Pioneman that fits on the 3x21C, but unfortunatelly they don’t ship to my country.
@Simon could make this available in his website :heart_eyes:

4 Thanks

I heard about that. I don’t know if the factory is just moving, or if Simon is changing factories altogether. If he is changing the factory/company, hopefully it’ll fix all the problems regarding reflectors, drivers, centering, ect…

4 Thanks

I heavily doubt he will be changing suppliers, he is probably just moving to a larger warehouse.

Does anyone know what the distance between the two mounting screw holes is on the drivers for the Convoy 3x21C/E or 3x21D?


43mm

1 Thank

Thanks very much! Is that centre to centre?

I didn’t remove the screws first.
Now I did, it’s more like 42.7mm.

Very kind, very speedy, thanks

I put my SFT-70 3000k in my S16, it’s a pretty rad setup. Not sure if that form factor is what you consider EDC though.

6 Thanks

Oh geez… over a year and no word on that at all… :grimacing:

1 Thank

Spent the night feeding stray cats when one of them climbed into my lap and fell asleep, I decided to stay in the alley longer than I usually would to let him sleep and was apalled at the amount of cars that wouldn’t slow down, eventually a big truck almost ran one over, so I started using my M21H XHP 70.3 R70 to make them slowdown, thinking there’s a motorcycle or something. Simon I hope you’re able to put the new LMP LHP73B in this or the M21K, because the 8500 lumens would be really helpful
