Convoy S2+ Triple Led Build. Step By Step Build Tutorial.

- That's right we are going to build a Custom Convoy S2+ with a triple Led, Glow Gasket and a FET +7135 Driver.
This little light is super bright with a good Flood beam. The firmware that I am using on the driver is the Guppy Dual firmware that has 22 programmable modes (11 with memory & 11 without memory)
This light get really hot on high at around 25-30 seconds so setting the Turbo/High timer that will step the light down from 100% to 50% is very important!

Nice light build. A couple things. 1. The reason you had such a hard time desoldering and soldering to that board is because the whole back of the PCB is a copper heat sink, it's soaking up all the heat from your iron. You need to really crank up the heat on your iron when you solder/desolder on something like that. 2. Thermal paste does not "help conduct the heat better", that is not what it's designed for. The purpose of it is to fill the microscopic imperfections where the two surfaces meet, so that you have as much surface area contact as possible. So you really want as little as possible on there, as the conductivity will always be better between the metal surfaces. 3. A spring bypass is pointless on this build, because the spring is already bypassed, as you noted yourself. Electricity takes the path of least resistance, and because your negative terminal is soldered directly to the pad at the tip of the spring, that's where the current will flow. In other words, in this build the spring already isn't the conductor, it's literally only there to put preload pressure on the battery, thus there is nothing to "bypass". Very nice final product, I think I'll be building one of these myself but without the diffuser.
I've seen some of the worst soldering advice in the comment section here. The reason the solder didn't melt was because the tip wasn't tinned. Add a tiny bit of rosin or flux core solder to the tip of the iron before you go to desolder, and it will pop right off. The additional solder acts like thermal paste and transfers the heat of the iron to the cold solder more efficiently.
Lux.... why can't you just list the exact parts you are using with model numbers or even better the links, if this is a how to video, help us out with a true parts list.
If I put my driver inside the pill like you did (with the ring removed) it is loose and doesn't reach the battery... are there two sizes? (using same host and setup as you did here)
I have a defiant pen light. Takes two AAA. I have never modded any flashlights. Would like to increase the brightness of them if possible. Any suggestions?
Good tutorial. What was the purpose of making this 3led mod? Do you like the result or the original S2+ was better? Yes you need to master your soldering skills)
Thanks for the video. One soldering tip: "flux". After that, I'd suggest a higher quality soldering station. I love my T12 based knock-off soldering station - outputs enough heat to unsolder the driver from an S2+ pill (one side at a time, using solder sucker).
Bad soldering!
Hey boss, I’m in law enforcement and still use my streamlight sl20x halogen. Terralux use to make a drop in 600 lumen led conversion but no longer make it. There is little to no info on the interwebs on how to make a powerful and efficient conversion with the sl20x chassis. I love this light and it’s been with me for years. Can’t you make do a build on this? I’m sure there are others out there like me.
Awesome tutorial thanks for putting this up. Built my first triple.
Love the detail of your steps! As an educator it is nice to see a tutorial that is good for any level user.👍
For anyone new to soldering, soldering irons work extremely very much better with clean and freshly tinned tips.
Great video.
Awesome tutorial!
AWESOME!
good step to step following video. Thx
Very nice !
Can u review this torch in out door
I want to mod one to use a Red LED. Is there any directly compatible red LED I could use ? Already modded one with IR. Thanks.
Hi, im wonder after seeing s2+ that david sunshine build he put the thermal paste to the copper thread. would that be any good doing that or will mess up the conductivity of the negative circuit to the copper pills ?
