I picked up a Convoy S5 on a clearance sale, and I am trying to get an easy guide to adjusting the modes on the flashlight. I really do not use many of the blinky modes, and I would prefer have the simplest modeset. I had been using some of the nicer Amazon zoomie lights for work, and I wanted to upgrade.

Welcome to BLF @OmegaPaladin !
Do you have a link for that flashlight so that we can see what user interface it has?
Being an S5, I suspect it has one of the old drivers with 3modes/5 modes. Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1013155720.html
If so, you need to switch to Low mode and wait for 5 seconds. As soon as you notice a quick blink, half press the switch (not full press to it OFF) and the mode group is then changed.
I hope it helps!

Was it part of the Scratch and Dent Clearance sale?
If so it may have a driver that looks like this:
And it requires a soldering iron to change the modes.

It was the scratch /dent clearance. I’d be interested in what the basic modes are at the least.

Does the driver look like the one in my picture and have the Gold Stars on it?

Yes, it looks just like that.

I’m bummed that I missed out on the S5 sale! Looks like there were only 4 available though.
Jeez, I guess I need to go to the Convoy store every day.
If you want to trade for an S2+, let me know OmegaPaladin assuming you’re located in the USA.

This Kaidomain host is very similar to the S5:

Great minds think alike!
I got the KD version a couple years ago. And if I remember correctly, the switch was the older style switch which was a pain to convert to a lighted switch. The Convoy S5 looks like the same tail set-up. My first S2 was also like that.
A positive of the KD S5 is that it looks like it has slightly bigger grooves in the tail which are large enough to accommodate a clip.
So I guess I really don’t need another S5.

Got any pictures? I’m not sure what the older style looks like.
Ah, ok I had a S3 that had that style switch.
I just hadn’t taken it apart.
Thanks!
