I spent a whopping £9 on a Convoy S2+, which turned up dead on arrival. Fixed that by using sandpaper and O-Ring grease. Kinda worked after that, a bit, sort of.
My initial thoughts were that this light is a piece of total garbage and the factory button user interface is the worst thing ever. Hmm, nothing to lose then, eh?
Took it to pieces and... a bit of googling and an hour later, now running SS's kickass Biscotti firmware.
Now the click / semi-click button is a dream to use and the UI system is absolutely fantastic for casual daily use.
It seems like upgrading to Biscotti has doubled value of this light.
Summary
I'm amazed. I bought it on a whim, expecting very little and getting very little. After the upgrade I have a very solid and inexpensive light that I can lend to my friends without worrying too much about it, because I can replace it easily. The firmware changes this light into a powerful, reliable light that lends itself to almost any situation.
