Three Convoy lights with 8A buck drivers for getting the most runtime out of 21700 size batteries. Purchased for $28-$38 each with batteries included I think these are an incredible value.

👋 I was a long-time reader of the other site but recently created accounts here and at BLF to contribute as well. Discovered Convoy there and resources such as https://tgreviews.com/grizzlys-convoy-guide, which led to placing a few orders via Aliexpress successfully. Now it’s a favorite brand.
Where did you get them?
These were purchased directly from the manufacturer via this official store: https://m.aliexpress.com/store/1100591265. Shipped from China to USA in about 3-4 weeks usually.
Great choices! I didn’t realize you could get that driver in the S21B.
I love the 8A buck drivers. Now that they have a 17mm 8A driver I plan to make an S2+ triple.
I would highly recommend it! I just upgraded my s2+ triple with this driver and a Kaidomain 519a DD 3500k. It’s a wonderful thing.
Thanks! Since the S21B supports 22mm drivers (unlike the S21A’s 20mm) it has a few more options, although this config was by request in the order notes.
As for 8A buck drivers, nowadays they are available in 17mm (as you mentioned) 22mm, and 20mm as well which I’m hoping to try (maybe mao S21A with sft40?)
Having broadened my horizons beyond Convoy, trying out my first Hank (D1v2 which disappointed me) grabbing some Lumintops (the FW21s which really impressed me), the odd Sofirn (SC32), a couple Wurkkos (TS10, HD15R etc); I always resolve that Convoy are the absolute best balance of value, DIY-ability and performance. If only Simon were to sell a few more enthusiast-desired items (like these new drivers), smooth body exotic metal parts, 18500 tubes, spare pills, spacers, etc.
Agreed. It seems like Convoy’s owner Simon pays close attention to previous sales when considering new products, and now they are offering multiple lights in copper and titanium as well as beginning to support Anduril (1) this year. So if the sales are there, I would expect and hope to see more new developments in this direction.
