New Convoy: S6 pocket thrower - Lemmy.world

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.

How is the beam quality with the S6 and CSLNM1? Is it a smooth or OP reflector? My S2+ with this emitter wasn’t horrible, but the focus and centering wasn’t amazing. I put in a spare OP reflector from a Sofirn SC31B and it was a lot better.

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).
