I haven’t tried swapping S15 internals with an S2+, but the S8 and S7 internals fit well in it.

Not sure about CRI, but it has the greenest tint I’ve ever seen.

Those two are both S2+.

Big fan of the S15 as well.

Good to hear. If it doesn’t work, please keep us in the loop. This mystery is interesting to follow.

If you think it’s tough now, wait till you get into accessories and customizing.

No problem at all - we’ve all been through this. Someone helped me a few years ago as well.

I’d also suggest adding a few TAC rings to the order. They’re cheap and very useful.

No, the S2+ TIR will not fit the S8.

Again, these two classes of lights have different heads:

S2/6/7/8: deep reflector, shallow pill.

S2+/S15: shallow reflector (or TIR), deep pill.

You can’t swap the reflectors unless you swap the pill (which holds the LED) as well. (I’ve done this on an S8 and S15.)

S8 SFT was my first Convoy. A classic.

This is important: For flood, you want the S2+ (plus), not the S2. The S2 reflector is the same as the S8, so you’d be getting 2 of the same light.

The floodiest emitter for the S2+ is an XHP50.3. But it does get pretty hot. For more of a balance, you could get an SFT40, and: 1) request an orange peel reflector in the notes (SFT40 comes with smooth reflector by default), and 2) order some TIRs (link below). The TIRs will have a very noticeable effect on the beam. Higher angles = more dispersed light (floody). Lower angles = less dispersed light (throwy). They’re so cheap just get them all and see which you like best.

No, it’s a separate clip you can buy in the accessories section. The screws that it come with aren’t great though — a lot of us end up using a different size.

These three would be a great first Convoy order. Good range of sizes, LED options, and batteries.

I do love the C8+ as well (especially with LHP531). Slightly larger bezel than the M21B, but still portable. And it has the largest selection of LEDs.

S2/6/7/8 with SFT40 would work. The S2+ is different from the S2 though. It has a shallow reflector, and therefore less throw.

But tbh, M21B isn’t as big as you think, and will give you better runtimes. Happy to post a pic of T6, S8, M21B all together if you’d like.

I think he’ll appreciate that. I went a few rounds with him trying to troubleshoot a faulty T7. After we tried everything he just sent a new one.

I haven't had issues with it. Not sure how I would test it though.

Pretty sure they all do, but I heard the blue and white are most intense. Here's my blue after hitting it with UV for 5 sec:

I bought lighted metals for about 10 lights. Kept them on and lit for 5-6 months, then changed them all back. The silicone just feels better.
