This is a beam shot video of my Convoy S2+ MAO with Nichia 519a emitter. Probably one of my most used lights. It has a 0.1% low mode that I use around the house constantly. A great light to use at night as the 3000K emitter is easy on the eyes. I started turning off the lights in my house around 1-2 hours before going to sleep and just using the light from this torch, bouncing back from the ceiling. Helps me sleep better.

I was not paid to do this review. All opinions are my own. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Convoy S2+ Transcript Build quality, and disassembly: • Convoy offers the best quality-to-price ratio. I maintain that, especially for some of their smaller lights like this one. Flawless finish and machining. It feels like ceramic? • You can modify this light easily. Unsealed. LED, Lens, Bezel, and Reflector • The 519A is one of the best LEDs to use in a professional setting. Comes in various tints from 2700K - 5700. 90+ CRI. • AR Glass lens with OP reflector. Simple bezel. LED centered perfectly. Size and comparison: • 11.7cm X 2.4cm • SC31 Pro, E51C, FC-12, Reylight Pineapple Mini, etc. Retention and carry: • Fits easily in a pocket and the lanyard is a handy addition. • No pocket clip. Only fits one with a thin retaining ring. You can buy them separately from Convoy for a few dollars. User interface, modes, and operation: • Mode memory on/off. • UI selection of 12 groups. Some prefer fewer groups but I like the different options. Memories once off, even when the battery is taken out. • Change modes by half-pressing once on. 20 taps, mode selection. Batteries and charging: • Takes both flat tops and button tops 18650 cells. Battery included for a few extra dollars. • No USB charging. Need external charger. Performance (beam profile, lumens, and run times): • 162m throw on high CRI/CCT (Opple Light Master Pro 3): 2950K CRI: 95+ What I liked/didn't like: • Convoy provides the best value at this price point in my opinion. You give up onboard USB charging but it's worth it for the excellent build quality and performance. • Choices...! There are so many configurations you can buy the S2+ in. Colors, LEDs, two drivers, there's even a 21700 cell version. Most manufacturers offer two-color tints at most. I love the 3000K, which helps greatly on foggy nights and is easy on the eyes. • Considerations: the white finish marks easily if you have it knocking around with other objects. It mostly cleans off with alcohol wipes. No chips or scratches. • Would have liked an included pocket clip but at this price point that's acceptable and you can buy one separately. Final Verdict: This is one of the best EDC lights for flashlight beginners and enthusiasts. The high number of options in this model, low price point, and excellent build quality. I like how all the technical specs are made clear and you know exactly what you're getting. Highly recommended. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u5CyztBp5k
