Hi J-Dub. Yes, the S2+ 18350 tubes, in black. He currently has them in gray, red & blue.
Which LED should I use for my green S2+?
My red has triple nichia 219C 3A Qlite, the blue one has XP-L HI and will use the new DrJones’ H17F (1+7+FET) driver. Not really a fan of colored LEDs or have the need for them so I wont use color XP-Es, what do you think?
Mtg2 or XHP.
What’s project Tuken Raider? :weary: Tan with black metal button + clip?
1+
Much too gold imo. And I prefer flat as well. Shiny looks cheap to me.
Do you know how he plans to do the black finish on the clips?
For clarification… yeah that’s the desert tan with black button and black clip. I can’t tell you what the finish is going to be. Simon says it can’t be anodized. It’s stainless. I just told him to make it as tough a finish as he could. As soon as we have some samples we’ll see how it is but until then it’s just guessing.
So we’re just embracing how off-topic this thread has become? I’m good with that. 
If he’s talking about using the same finish from my F8 above I think you guys would be pretty pleased with it. It looks much nicer in person than it does in that F12 photo.
For further clarification, when you say black button do you mean going back to a black rubber switch boot or doing the steel piston switch with a black coating?
I still don’t have confirmation on what kind of coating it is but Simon has the first samples back and here’s what it looks like:
Good news. I asked and we got the answer we all want. He said he will have short 18350 tubes made for the green version and the black version. 
Yay, it looks great, like Olight great !
Nice clip!!
Did he mention how green has been selling? Or for that matter how any of the new lights or 18350 tubes have been selling.
@ Convoy Rep 
I have not been following this thread so please forgive if these questions have been answered.....
- Which Convoy lights is that deep clip to fit?
- Do we have an estimated or projected cost of that deep clip?
Quite a compliment there. :bigsmile: I think it looks pretty sweet (pats himself on the back) too. 
Hey no! Well maybe a little bit. When I say black button I mean that what I am asking for is the steel piston switch with a black coating. However, if that isn’t feasible I would settle for a black rubber boot. Tusken Raiders unite!
Bugsy old pal, I think a company representative is a paid position therefore I… am not that guy.
Alas, the smiles of a few fellow BLF nut jobs is payment enough… even if they are sticking out their tongues in my general direction in the process.
- It will definitely fit the red, blue and green S2+ and the (hopefully) soon to be desert tan with black button :heart_eyes: It would also appear to fit the latest generation Convoy C8 and a few other S series models but I do not have a complete list yet. I expect one from Simon fairly soon
- I do not have a price yet but this is Simon we’re talking about so it’s going to be very affordable.
So I was bit bye the bug. Did some research and got an order into Mountain Electronics. I ordered a dedomed Convoy C8, 8 7135, and a blue Convoy S2+ T6 3b bulb and 6 7135’s. Also got 2 Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh, and a charger/monitor w/led display. All for $86.
How did I do? I prolly won’t get to heavy into modding it out, but want a good starting point. Maybe my next one will be a green S2+ body and build from there. What will I get out of putting an AR lens in? What’s this about modding the springs, I’ll be around, nice meeting you folks
Welcome friend! You are in good company here. At least as far as being among friendly people who share your madness. In my opinion you made some good start-up choices. Don’t be afraid to talk to Richard at Mountain Electronics and ask him for advice. Great guy. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. That de-domed C8 should be a really nice thrower. Add a spring bypass and a different driver and the lumens (and throw) just get better with each step. Others will be able to offer more detailed advice on modding. My take on the AR lens is don’t put too much into that until you get heavier into it but opinions vary. I have AR lenses in most of my lights now. It’s not a night and day difference but if you’re going for numbers (lumens) there is a difference and all AR lenses are not created the same. With high quality AR coated lenses (check out UCL lenses) you may see a 5% increase in OTF lumens. I have a few that you have to look at just the right angle to see that there is a lens there at all. That’s what you’re shooting for. Ultimate light transmittance. Dale (DB Custom) has a link or two about the spring bypass mod. Others can step in here and direct you better than I can but if you can use a soldering iron a spring bypass seems one of the simplest ways to increase output.
I had to look at that this thread again and i was shocked that my sand colored s2+ wish is getting reality - maybe 
with a black clip and a black button. Ok it seems i have to buy another convoy. I just wanted to order a convoy BD03 which gets kind of little attention i think.
That sand color is a bit to gold, more natural and super matte would be awesome. Maybe even more into bright olive.
The green S2+ host is now available in the store. The link has been added to the OP as well.

It just might. I don’t have any promises yet but I had to admit once I saw similar color combinations I really like the idea. Now that the clip ended up black we’re halfway there already. I agree that the Roche color is more gold than the concept we are aiming for here. I like that one too but I’m hoping for a little more “earthy” with no mettalic for this one.
Thanks J-Dub! You’re really doing Wonders with Simon! Appreciated
