Convoy S2 + 1000LM Cree XM L2 T6 - 4C 3/5 Tryby Latarka LED Latarka (1 x bateria 18650)

You can't go wrong with Convoy. Their flashlights are budget friendly and always delivers. This red s2+ is no exception. The build quality is excellent, threads are smooth and the finish is perfect. It has high quality springs on the positive and negative side so virtually any 18650 will fit in it. The 4C which is 4300K - 4500K is really nice. The tint is not too warm and not too cold. This torch has a orange peel reflector so this is a flooder. It lights up every in close proximity. If you want a thrower the S2+ also comes with a smooth reflector. Look for the silver edition or the sandy brown version. Those both have a smooth reflector. This Red one comes with a orange peel reflector is perfect for EDC and indoor use. You can choose to have 3 modes or 5 modes. This can be easily selected as instructed. All the modes have memory even the strobe so you can set this at the desired mode to your likinig. The light output is very high and the head does get quite hot when u leave it on high for a long time. The head easily reaches 60 degrees celsius if you leave it on high so beware. A nice feature is the glow in the dark O-ring in the reflector. It will glow for some time after the flashlig has been turned off. It comes in a nice box with a lanyard loop and the button is metal which is gives a very premium feel.

Suggestion

The strobe isn't very tactical it is a bit too slow for tactical purposes. There is no pocket clip included but i guess you can buy this separate somewhere.

The S2+ is now using a Cree XPL-HI on a copper MCPCB for extra performance gains. I know i already said this lol the MCPCB is good quality and fairly thick and is 16mm in diameter. I am not sure if its direct thermal path but I have not tested the board yet. My version is the V2-1A so its a cold white tint but still looks good the XPL-HI are not to cold in a CW tint like a XPG2.

You do have a choice of different tints raining from 4000k-6500k so the choice is yours.

XPL-HI V2-1A 6500-7000K
XPL- HI U6-3A 5000-5200K
XPL-HI U6-4C 4200-4500K
How many other lights give you 3 tint options? For reference the V2-1A should give the best output performance its the top bin LED. I did test the S2+ for output it goes good it managed to get 986 lumens. I am using the 8 times 7135 so that sounds about right I guess. Close enough to 1000 lumens for me its a technical pass.

Классный универсальный фонарь! Вещь! Соотношение цена/качество бъет все рекорды

1) качество изготовления и продуманность ставит его в совершенно иную ценовую категорию over 30usd, придраться не к чему.
2) совершенно реальная мощность в 10W/3A, человеческий линейный драйвер, массивная латунная "пилюля" внутри.
3) возможность установить TIR оптику превращает его в идеальный фонарь для "ближнего боя", можно ставить на "попу" и светить вверх
4) мне красный цвет корпуса нравится намного больше унылых серый и черных фонарей, покраска очень качественная и прочная. Яркая заметная и веселая штука :)
5) в комплекте идет подарочная коробка из хорошего картона, можно спокойно брать на подарки
6) водоупорность присутствует, мыть можно

Suggestion

не нашел, честно. Разве что накатка не слишком ухватистая. Зато не грязнится.

When I received this light, I'm impressed with the build quality. Blue color make it a sweet looking light. The 2.8A driver on this light is very bright. It has a even flood beam with less throw which comes in handy in several situations for both indoor and outdoor. The beam has a very smooth transaction from the spot to the spill. This makes it an excellent general purpose light. 4C tint is the most popular tint.
Since I received it, it became my favorite EDC and I use it almost every day.
The price on GearBest is very attractive and make this light a great value. If you're looking for an EDC, this is the one you should get.

Convoy probably provides best price/value ratio for serious (chinese) flashlights. I really like everything about my blue S2+:
- excellent build, threads
- very nice colour of anodization (actually quite different than it appears on the pictures)
- very nice + unique waterproof metal switch
- very bright
- nice compromise of throw and flood
- 4C tint is nice, but next time I would order a colder 3B (warmwhite)
- Convoy values (lumens, draw, bint, tint etc.) are real
- very nice driver with 2 easily changeable groups
- big and long (protected) cells fit
- short tube for 16340/18350 available

Suggestion

- I ordered 8x7135 / 2.800mA version as advertised. I received 6x7145 / 2.100mA driver version. It was quite painful to convince GB support that this is an issue. However even with "only" 800 lumens it´s a very bright light that warms up the body fast and intensive.
- not a real con: not integrated head like new S3 but brass pill

The light is well worth its money. Superbly fine colour job, metalic clicker is Dupond light quality, Should be worth at least 3 times its price. I dont mind getting all colours of it. Is just so addictive. Bought many budget flash light from Supfire, ultrafire, warsun, they cost about the same or slightly cheaper but quality is half of the convoy. Convoy from what i see uses good quality internal parts, exterior finishing is top notch too. Get the best and forget the rest. I added in a shorter tube to take 18350 battery, i like it better this way, lighter and more compact.

Suggestion

Runs hot on high mode. I do suggest 7135*6 or 4 if you dont need high brightness, since i use the lowest power most of the time, makes more sense for me to get a lower voltage model. But wanted to try out the max brightness.

The Convoy S2+ series is, imo, the best 18650 light currently produced. Waterprood, boil proof, drop proof and can be purchased with from 3-8 *7135 chips on the driver so that you can choose between max run time or max brightness. This is my fourth Convoy S2+ and I can't rate them highly enough.

You can choose which mode you want it to come on by simply choosing a mode, waiting for it to blink (about 5 seconds) and then turn off normally. That is the mode it will turn on in next time. Very useful. You can switch between 3 and 5 modes if you want to hide the blinky modes (which are useful in an emergency situation).

Suggestion

None

В общем и целом фонарик понравился хотя честно говоря ожидал несколько большего
(уж очень сильно хвалили подобные фонари в многочисленных обзорах :-)
К внешнему виду претензий нет - все на уровне гораздо более дорогих брендов по
достаточно демократичной цене.
Не смотря на максимальную комплектацию в плане наличия 8 токовых стабилизаторов с
максимальным током в 2,8 А, обеспечивающих максимальный для данной серии фонарей
уровень яркости свечения "ВАУ" эффекта у меня не возникло. Но в целом неплохо.
Цвет свечения теплый, приятный рассеянный свет благодаря мятому рефлектору,
отличная боковая засветка.

Suggestion

Недостатки;
- быстрый и сильный нагрев в максимальном режиме яркости;
- высокочастотный писк драйвера.

К сожалению нездоровой тенденцией в последнее время стало длительное время
обработки заказов в магазине (1-2 недели). Доставка также не очень быстрая (больше
месяца).

Well, I forgot to review this one.

- Perfect Neutral T6-4C tint
- Floody light (Love that!)
- 3 modes or 5 modes with memory! (user switchable)
- No tube rattles with battery in. Perfect fit.
- Amazing price
- 8 X 7135 chips for 1000 lumens output
- The medium mode (~400 lumens) can be sustained by flashlight in terms of heat dissipation
- Tailstanding
- Low battery warning indicator
- Extremely RUGGED (Check youtube for the video)
- Comes with a lanyard
- Superb aluminium switch!

Sorry if this sounded like promo but check all my items I buy

Suggestion

- No anti roll mechanism
- Needs 4-5 secs to lock the memory mode else it will switch to next mode on power on.

RELATIVE:
- No clip (for the price can't complain)
- Reverse clicky. HATE that! Lol.

Super bright! At maximum brightness, I pointed the flash to the ceiling in a small-medium size room (3m x 5m, 2.6m height) and the whole room is bright enough even for reading book :D

Very good build quality! The blue color is really nice, and the workmanship of the aluminium body is smooth and precise.

3 level of brightness is practically covers almost all daily applications.

Metal switch. More durable than rubber switch.

The price is no brainer for this quality :D

Suggestion

None. But be careful when using is at full brightness for a long period, the head of the flashlight will get very hot.
