SL2c (Must Have)

[harryk387]

Yeah sounds like triple xpg2 or triple 219c would be my two options. Tixx, anyway you can get a couple of outdoor beamshots so i can see the output of your 219c? Would really appreciate it

I'll try tonight with my phone and my garage as the target

About 75 feet away from a garage.

Just received my SL2c. I was excited, so I opened it right away and grabbed one of the 3 batteries that I bought with it, and dropped it in. Click . . . nothing . . . click . . . nothing. I started to panic a little! I took it apart and inspected it closer. The batteries were flat top and it looked like they weren't making connection. This morning I found my solder paste, solder, etc and made some buttons. Once I had them ready, I dropped one in, click . . . Light!!

I used it tonight on a late walk, awesome light!!

Condor, I don't want to hijack the tread but could you list the tools & materials you used to make the button tops.
I have some great batteries with Flat TOPS, BUT I need Button tops

Why did it not work with flat top? Since this has Springs in both ends I figured they would work.

Mine only has a spring in the tail . . . so maybe something is missing?

I had the same problem. I'm using a small magnet on the positive until I get some button tops.

Maybe a design change? Not sure. I know he tweeks them constantly. Both my SL2Cvn 's are a little different.

I enjoyed it on my walk. Puts out a lot of light! Vinh suggested I not get the extra copper since I was getting a single emitter. I went ahead and got it anyways, and I'm glad I did. It's on 1-30-100 NM and I used it on 30% most of the time. It got hot/warm, never uncomfortable. I imagine that it would be a lot hotter without that extra .3 oz of copper in there. I'm pleased with my decision!

Oh, both mine are triple. Maybe why the spring difference.

Vinh, I love this light! I made a commitment to step up my light game for 2016, and this was my first step in that direction. Thanks for the fabulous light and easy, friendly customer service!

I can put quads in this light but not much advantage since the dead is too small. Quads requires a larger head for full potential.

Let me see if I have this right.

I can take the 18650 body off of my Convoy S2+ wrap it in the SL2Cvn head and tailcap and be good to go?

 

[HarleyXJGuy]

This has the same kind of clicky switch as the Toolvn?

No momentary on?

 

[Tixx]

Correct

 

[Vothelo]

something like this.

 

[HarleyXJGuy]

Correct

Ok thanks.

Mine just got here today. Charging the battery that came with it and about to try out a Convoy S2+ 18650 body. Will be nice to have battery and size options.

Ok so I tried it out and it turns out you guys are smart. Convoy S2+ and the SL2cvn are the same body. The 18650 tube fit and worked like a charm. I am not one to mix and match colors but I don't hate it so much.
