Convoy S2+ MAO (Nichia 519A): Great EDC and Night Light
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.

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.
