I like that the fins incorporate anti-rolling feature. I already have the S5 to look forward to though.

42

for $5 i’ll take this light
i’m in J)
is this light available with SMO reflector?

43

Please count me in too! I have an s6 I absolutely love, for five dollars there’s no way I wouldn’t buy another convoy. This one looks like it’ll handle MOAR POWAH too

44

I definitely want one. Many in fact. Count me in.

45

I would also prefer a smooth reflector.

46

The smooth reflector does very little to improve throw, but makes the light much less nice to use at short range.

47

In for one!

48

Why does it makes it less nice to use at short range?

49

There’s a lot of artifacts in the beam profile, such as rings and flowers you don’t want to see.

The OP reflector smoothens them out into a nice creamy beam of light.

50

Because the hotspot is 'fuzzy', instead of a sharply defined round spot, outside of which the brightness drops off. So it makes the light only a tiny bit better in one scenario and a lot worse at another. They don't need smooth reflectors to throw as well as a P60: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20093?page=1#comment-445402

51

I’m in for one!

52

And now for another opinion (with much respect to Comfy)…I changed to a smooth reflector in my S5 from an OP and it really helped in my case. This light is used as a bike helmet light and it focused the beam enough to help the throw a good bit and make the light much more usable for me. Didn’t see a big hit in close work, but I don’t really do that with this light. YMMV

53

I want one!. But, is not possible to pay with paypal?.

54

I’m in. So when does this become available? T4 7A3 6chips

55

I’ll probably take two.

56

Im in, although is there a point in saying "Im in"??

Will it not be the first 30 that place an order when the link becomes available that gets the light?

57

You don’t. There’ll be a post in the thread from simon (convoy flashlights) saying the OP has a link. It could be any time within the next few days. Basically check this thread everytime it’s updated.

58

Correct.

59

Cool thanks.

I can’t find a convoy S8 on the site anywhere.
