Hi guys,
need opinion, should I get convoy S2+ or emissary d4 for my next edc flashlight?
I totally disagree. I would get the d4 between the two. I prefer the Lumintop edc-05 or the Lumintop Toolvn from sky lumen.If we trust "Everyday Carry", best new EDC light is Surefire EDCL1-T
I think the D4 will be more enjoyed out of the 2 mentioned. The UI is great, lots of features and low to crazy output. Only down side with both lights for EDC would be lack of decent clip. If this is not an issue, then the D4 would be my choice.
D4 is an ugly little lump, though. Soviet 50's Siberian winter base standard issue. Hard to look at as good industrial design
If we trust "Everyday Carry", best new EDC light is Surefire EDCL1-T
I really wanted this light but for me it would make a terrible EDC. If I were in law enforcement, or something of that nature then maybe it would be the best. But for an average Joe, the low is way too low for my EDC needs. And, the high is also way too high. It is not a general use kind of tool. It is a specialized tool for specific applications, in my opinion.
With all respect I disagree with you In my book these Emissars were made with these tools:
They didn't even care to make some knurling to the light to improve grip and cooling (yes, knurling gives "developed" surface that improves heat dissipation). And at the same time — some astronomical numbers of output. At some point lights that cannot withstand their own max output for a practical period of time remind me guns that cannot withstand mil spec pressure rounds.
Of course, many would disagree with me, but this is my POV
+1
For me they are an excellent sample of poor engineering when every effort was put to gain impressive output, but exterior design was performed in accordance to Russian "eff off" principle
Once upon a time I liked multimode lights more. But when it came to practical application I have noticed that I start to hate designs where the only option to get low when you are on medium mode is to go through high and turbo Then I faced not life and death, but moments when you need to produce an appropriate amount of light immediately and, the hell, you don't remember what mode was the last with particularly that flashlight. There comes minor stress and the F-word
Then, spoiled with Elzetta Bravo and Surefire Fury, I started to realize that in most cases 2 modes are sufficient. Especially when they are free from ambiguity.
And, you know, in total darkness 10 lm are damn bright. EDCL1-T is declared to be 5 lm at low mode, but it is twice as bright in reality. Surefire style oopsie
Finally, it is damn nice looking one
I would recommend looking at the BLF A6/Astrolux S1 rather than than the S2+.
