Are we just listing what we’d like Convoy to make next?

I’d like a small, single 26650 xhp70 light with built in usb recharging.

Something like the Imalent DN70, Olight R50 Pro, Klarus G20 or Acebeam EC 50 gen 2. But, you know, not sucky or overpriced.

Again, this requires a new type of driver for Convoy (boost), which may be out of Simon’s comfort zone.

Yes, I know.

But, 1 each of the 4 lights above (plus Thrunite TM03) could be bought and the driver designs studied carefully to create a unique “clone” driver. Ha ha, you know the Chinese companies are famous for that. Lol

EDIT: Here is a possible boost driver that may be for sale soon.

Hello all and glad to join everyone here at BudgetLightForums! Here's a weekend project that turned out pretty nice and I thought I'd share. Introducing the GXB20 Boost Driver!

Note typo on silkscreen which reads 3V / 6A - should be 6V / 3A instead, spring not soldered on yet * TL;DR: I designed and made a simple constant current single-cell (e.g. 18650) XHP50/70 (6V 3A) Programmable Boost LED Driver. I’ve called this driver the GXB20. …
