Hi everyone, as GearBest has thousands items, Some items sometimes just sold out for a while, it needs more than 3-5 business days to wait, beg your understanding and sorry if it bring you any trouble
Hi really sorry for what happend to you, and please contact our cs in BLF or our supporting center to check, if there is something wrong with your order in the future, if you don’t receive any notice
Well, i wont say that certainly:
The pill stays solid, reflector is veeeery well centered, the glass is the same as in the original
The host itself is good enough- Banggood has the same hosts in their SMO version, even the tail thread is reverce
Yes, the build in driver isnt good, but the emitter is so-so, like t6 or something, it gives 289lm at 700ma-arround 5000k
For 13$- well, if you need a fairly okay old fasioned host( like me) it will do the job:
Here, i just made an XPG2 S4 version , centered it without an issue, at 4.2amps at the emitter it gives 148k mcds
Even if its a fake…well, its a well made fake Its not a ferarri but a flashlight
Centering a XPG2 with the new convoys is a pain you know, with those( thats why i ordered them, and i will continue) its a piece of cake, and the result is great
Aaah, the hotspot and reflector quality…i would say same or even better that ” original” convoy, only 2 small outher rings( Olight M2X UT same them too)
Gearbest, would you consider offering those ” fake” Convoy C8 as hosts? I am interested in at least 10
The $13.40 Gearbest Convoy C8s don’t have to ALL be fake.
I ordered my S2+ for $12.99 back in May and got a Real one, while it was later on that the guys started getting the Fakes.
Might be the same with the C8s too.
Then I received my Convoy L4 last month, in the Cheap, Thin, white box like the Fake S2+ came in, and I thought: Oh Hell:(… As near as I can tell though, it is genuine Probably doesn’t make as much economic sense to try to copy an E/Switch, lower quantity selling light. - It looks good and works well, and I’m happy with it.
Though I was lucky and didn’t get screwed, I won’t be ordering any more Convoys from Gearbest. - It just seems too risky to me now.
As for you guys that received Fake ones - I really feel for ya, and this sort of thing Really Pisses me Off! - Very Sorry.
I will think twice before ordering again from Gearbest, no matter what it is. - There are other places to do business.
I‘m really sorry about it, there are some wrong batches in our warehouse about the convoy before, we now have checked them out, made the stocking ones be the right one, if you have received any wrong items and making you feel bad, please contact our cs in BLF to solve the problem with your package, sku, product details and so on
