Hi everyone

Hi everyone!

I’m a BLF reader and decided to create an account. I will order one convoy S2+ U63A 7135x8, and one skilhunt H03 RC.

Happy to be here!

Welcome, that is a good start. I advise to look around for a code to get them at discount.

Hello there Winston.

Hope you like this place.

Rather than ordering the Convoy S2+ with the XP-L HI, I would recommend ordering this variant instead:

It uses a very high CRI 4000k SST-20. It has excellent color rendition, among the best of LEDs, meaning everything looks lively and pleasant, and even saturated, like the afternoon sun.
It also uses a simple, but full featured UI with many options.

Thanks for joining the party, Winston81!

When I think of the name Winston, I think of the book 1984...

Hello Winston, Welcome to BLF

Buy the Convoy direct from Simon at the Convoy store that Blue noted.
S2+ and H03 are good solid choices for a new member, you have been reading. Wish I found his place before all the garbage I bought before joining.

Hey Winston.
Welcome to BLF.

Good choice!
Maybe you should consider wearing a Sofirn C01 on your key-ring.
$6.50 with BLF discount.

I had seen this convoy

but then, is this the better option?

For outdoor, for example.

And I like the sofirn C01 and Q8…

Thanks

@Winston81, in most cases, the SST-20 option is better than the XP-L HI, especially outside since it has much better color rendition(95CRI vs 70CRI).
