Look, I realise I’ve missed a trick here, and am looking into yet another rabbit hole, so bear with me.
I understand the lego/mule aspect from brief reading, but modding isn’t really for me. I did the Solarforce/Surefire P60 lego thing a while back and thoroughly enjoyed trying out different options and buying the drop-ins, eventually leading to the inevitable Malkoff Designs.
Apologies for not reading it all, but this thing just has so many guises I could only start reading before drowning if you know what I mean?
Looking through the threads here I see how incredibly popular the S2 and S2+ are, with a ton of led and reflector options. As a start, I’ve ordered a S2 with a T6 4C(7135x8) just to see the S2 format with a reflector and a mid tint led. It’s in classic black ano, and looks like a proper 18650 hard working torch should IMO. :sunglasses:
I’ll be ordering a S2+ at some point. Do they have mirrored conical reflectors or are they TIR?
What I’d like more info about is the difference between S2 and S2+. Size? The S2 looks shorter in the head and offers TIR honeycomb and frosted lenses amongst others.
What is 7135x6 or x8, is it number of modes or is it to do with brightness/output? (8 seems to be recommended here so I went with that).
Info on the 18350 tubes, some have square threads, some trapezoidal. How do I know which thread the S2+ body has? 18350 tube is going to be a must have for me, I run my FW3C almost all the time in 18350 mode.
What is Biscotti? I see it crop up among emitter options, it looks like a solid copper biscuit for good heat sink?
Anyone producing Turboglow gaskets or tail caps for the TIR reflectors? I’ve got them in the FW3C and find them not only good bling, but really useful at night.
