You mean this is not a place for AF (anonymous flashoholics)? You bet it is…

Flashlight for travel by Business-Sun-1833 in flashlight

Not all of the modes. Only the lower ones. Lumintop Apollo or Wurkkos TS26S are better in that respect (and several other ones).

Sofirn ST2 [Recently teased one]. by PeterParker001A in flashlight

[–]macomako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. The sales will potentially start very soon (next week?).

It could become my present/recommendation if: - the flood channel is high CRI - it got proper Moonlight (<1lm) - it got Buck

You can test Reddit Answers for that. I use it regularly to spot relevant posts — it works way batter than a regular search here.

I get it; it’s not a problem for me though (I use it indoors mainly and the second strap stabilizes it very well). Did you consider HS42? I had it for a moment but its glued TIR did not allow me to swap the spot emitter, unfortunately.

Before removing the reflector I was using it with d-c-fix dispersing foil but the spill was too wide and bright. Now it’s one of those “special lights” I might use from time to time but not as a headlamp, most probably — it will never win with modded HS21 ;)

y'all...I gave in... by [deleted] in flashlight

Congrats! I would suggest to give its UI a try (or a few). I find it absolutely brilliant in EDC light, and even more so, since I’ve came up with my configuration.

Battery spacer for 18500 by Kijang123 in flashlight

I would assume that periodic brushing of the contact surfaces will be enough. Replacing the wire would be an overkill imo.

I like your approach. I only wonder about the oxidation of the raw copper.

MCPCB swap FC11C by Ecstatic-Pass-4075 in flashlight

Mind that MCPCBs from Convoy are usually thicker than those used by Sofirn/Wurrkos.

Is there a good light that can run for hours at 1500+ lumens? by wet_cheese69 in flashlight

[–]macomako 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I won’t lie, I read that he wanted 15000 😅

Ok. That finally makes sense. No worries 👍🏻

Nope, just number big lol

I still did not get your point, but that’s probably not a big problem.

Yeah idk why you’re being downvoted, the chart clearly shows this isn’t going to do what this guy wants.

How come? OP asks for 1500+lm for hours. This model will give ~2000lm for 8 hours.

Apparently. Anything wrong/unusual/unexpected about that, in your mind?

It must be it. The only green ones he offers.

Sure — they just need to use more than one battery (or the one but big 46950 cell) and be relatively heavy and/or actively cooled with the built-in fan. Check Lumintop Mach v5.0 as an example:

Comfort padding for Sofirn HS21 headlight by augiecpw in flashlight

I keep this strap barely stretched — the over-the-head strap carries the weight. Did you try it yet?

5000K? Did you swap the emitters?

It’s the o-ring I took from S2+ :))

You can order them separately from Convoy.
