  • Quick overview and mod of the Convoy S2+ flashlight. This is a great lower priced titanium light with good machining quality, ergos and features the fantastic Nichia 519A emitter.

    I've been using a Convoy flashlight for several years and you can use the gap near the tailcap for a pocket clip, either a one-way pocket clip or a two-way pocket clip for the Convoy S21A, but most Convoy users prefer a pocket clip that screws onto the tailcap.
    Some reviewers have measured the output of the S2+ 519A 4500K aluminum version and got around 1000 lumens at 100% (About 900 lumens for ANSI numbers) after which it slowly steps down to around 450 lumens and stays there until the battery runs out.
    The titanium host is worse than aluminum at dissipating heat so at 100% the output will step down faster than the aluminum version.

      @Hyuga_Genza thank you for providing your expertise and insight, much appreciated!

    Does the titanium variant really does heat up faster than the aluminum version?

      @DiabolicalSpender great username 🏆 So I have both versions, same emitter in them (519a). I will turn them both on in the highest mode and hold one in each hand and let you know which gets hotter faster. I think they are about the same, and on high that's pretty hot 🔥 I will do it in the next few hours and reply to your comment with my findings.

      @DiabolicalSpender I turned both lights on at the same time and held on up near the head of the flashlight. After about 1 minutes both were getting quite warm but the titanium one was warmer. At about 1 minute 15 seconds in, the Ti light was essentially too hot to hold up there at the head, the aluminum was still not as bad. About 15 seconds later the aluminum light too was too hot to hold there. I tried it again this morning and gave the Ti light a slight head start because I had to cycle through the modes a couple times on the titanium light to find high. Even with this slight advantage in timing, the Ti light did heat up faster to the point of being painful to hold onto before the aluminum light.

      @@EDChero thank you so much for your response bro! I really love the looks of the titanium variant but I think I'd have to settle with buying the aluminum version and the copper version. It's just a huge deal breaker for me that it heats up a lot faster and as far as I know, Ti retains heat much longer than the aluminum version.

      @@DiabolicalSpender No problem, thanks for tuning in! (As much as I like Ti, for the money I think the aluminum version is pretty hard to beat in the S2+) For me I pretty much have to use either one of these on the third level up from the bottom (out of 5 levels) if I'm doing any kind of extended use like a walk at night, otherwise they just get too hot. Mostly, if I am needing a ton of light I'm usually only doing shorts bursts anyway and don't run into any issues in my use case.

    For new users who don't know much about Convoy flashlights, I think the Convoy T3 is much better because it comes with a pocket clip and uses AA/14500 batteries.
    The Convoy T3 is also available in glossy titanium, stone washed titanium, circuit board pattern titanium, copper and of course aluminum in several colors + MAO

    • @EDChero

      This might sound crazy but I remember when the T3 came out, it was very popular and looks like a good size (I love AA lights) but I'm just not a fan of the angular milling. Something about it just bothers me, maybe they will do a gen 2 version that looks better I don't know tho. I do like the extra battery capacity of an 18650 but yeah the size of a good 14500 light is fantastic.

      Better looking version of T3 is the T2, has normal diamond knurling but only comes in black. Looks like a baby S2+
      I think the T3's machining is weird and mismatched, T4 is a bit better.
      I wish they'd do HAII silver, old school shiny like a maglite.

    It looks like swapping the ends just put the gap on the front end but maybe it’s just from this perspective.?. Isn’t that gap designed so the pocket clip clip’s in flush? Just curious b/c I’m about to order one myself. Thanks…

      RUclips told me I could upload a short as a reply so I tried, not sure if it worked but it is uploaded somewhere 😂. As far as I know the pocket clip (not included) is fastened to the tail cap with 2 small nuts and bolts. In my Short I made an attempt to highlight the gap between 2 different S2+ lights. Even if you don't mind the gap, you will enjoy the light at this price point and especially if you get your hands on a 519a version it's such a good performer 🏆

      @danielstone4134 let me know if you see the Short, I will delete it because it was pretty bad lol (just for you, it does highlight the issue pretty well I would say).
