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.
