It comes with a smooth reflector and I think the centering came out pretty well on this one. The hotspot is circular with a few artifacts.
Outside it works well as a fairly narrow beam, the hotspot is a bit larger than a thrunite catapult mini v1 (with much more spill).
Cool lineup! Does the s6 tail stand will the lighted switch? S21a doesn’t but I know s6 has a different tail design.
And how long does a single driver swap usually take you?
Will that s2 be getting the 5 amp buck driver upgrade? (Edit: just saw it will become an 8amp sft40!)
That was my plan for this light too if I can manage it. I guess the buck driver would create less heat at the same output which would be more valuable to me in this case than the additional runtime.
Agreed on the look even after a few scuffs since that picture. It was the least expensive way to try out titanium as well. Will probably end up with a full S2+ one of these days! Tons of choices for Convoy right now.
I heard about the S6 on one of the other sites (this thread I believe) and this emitter/host combination went on sale a month or so ago which led me to try it out.
New Convoy: S6 pocket thrower
New Convoy: S6 pocket “thrower” with 18350 titanium tube and Osram flat white CSLNM1 LED.
The extra few mm compared to an s2+ provides a longer reflector. The hotspot is a bit more concentrated than the smaller Lumintop fw1aa with the same emitter.
With the default 5 amp linear driver configured to group 8, 50% gets pretty hot after a minute or two. 35% in a different group might be more sustainable.
Overall I like this combination of aesthetics and functionality.
Also picked up the convoy AAA light which is surprisingly nice: stainless steel, 50 claimed lumens and a twisty which is tightly screwed in both the “on” and “off” positions, reducing the chance of accidental disassembly.
