Couple of small points... Memory mode is ALSO configurable in the programming menu - if you want the light to always start on low mode (or high if you've selected that menu option), you can turn the memory off. Simon (the owner of Convoy) now has his own, proprietary, website so you're not required to operate within the Ali Express ecosystem. Convoy makes excellent, inexpensive lights that have the added benefit of not diving ALL the way into the flashlight enthusiast world of ultra-premium materials or high-customization UI's like Anduril 2 or highly specialized emitter tech like laser excited phosphor (LEP) stuff... But you can definitely try out a wealth of flashlight designs if you're interested. Great video and excellent presentation to get the word out to a wide audience!
I grabbed the stonewashed Ti on Ali Express and it's the coolest light I've ever seen and feels firearm-like solid. To make it perfect, though, it needs a USB-c charge port added to the switch cap. Did what is worth, my order arrived in 6 days and i live in San Francisco. The D4 charger can't be beat
I really like Convoy. Great quality, many options and all for small prices. It's a brand by an enthusiast for enthusiasts. My EDC is a S2+ with a short tube for 18350 batteries and a SST-20 emitter. I also have a C8+ thrower with the newish W5050SQ3 that can easily pass 200 metres.
@@Barry-Watson Barry, what is the advantage of a 3.7 or 4.2 volt battery? Can you post a link for either you would recommend? Thanks!! :) love your channel !
A 14,500 cell has more energy capacity than an AA battery. If the flashlight detects you're using a 14,500, it will regulate at a somewhat higher brightness level. If you set the same level of brightness with a 14,500 battery versus an AA you'll get significantly longer run time with the 14,500 cell. The light works fine with either type of battery, but I use the 14,500s because I get longer run time. I'm using VAPcell F12 batteries, the gold colored ones. Seems to work well for me, but I don't think this brand is available on Amazon. amzn.to/3yaXtwY (similar) You'll also need a compatible battery charger for those cells, I'm using a nightcore D4. amzn.to/4f2TraN

Thanks for sharing!
Eloquent and truthful. Thank you, Barry
Keep this coming.
Thanks! I picked up a few of these a while ago, and I just think that they've been really good and I wanted to share.

Olight does NOT make good stuff. Especially at the price point.
