Good morning! First post, looking for some advice.
My beloved S2 gave up the ghost after 5 years of hard service. Olight very kindly replaced it with an S2R, excellent customer service, but I passionately despise rechargeable lights with proprietary batteries/chargers. I’ve read that some 18650s will work in the S2R but none of my Streamlight or Fenix will. It won’t work with 2xCR123 either, so it’s a no-go for me.
I have several Streamlight 18650s and a couple of Fenix so I’d like to stay with that battery. I loved the size of the S2, the simplicity of the operating system, and the magnetic tail cap. I’ve read thru this site a bit and this thread
popped up. That’s similar to what I’m looking for but not exactly. I kinda like the Convoy S9; wish it didn’t have the USB port but it’s not a deal breaker. Maybe I can figure out how to add a magnet to the tailcap. The price is certainly right!
I was active on CPF 15-20 years ago but the LED flashlight world has gotten a LOT bigger since then and I’m overwhelmed by what’s available these days.
Long post, I know. Howdy again, and I’d appreciate any advice.
