Convoy S2+ Copper (SFT40) Video Transcript:
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• Of course the main allure of this light is its copper construction. It has a brilliant yellowish-golden luster and a more 'premium' feel compared to my aluminum flashlights.
• This light is heavy! Of course that might be a negative if you're planning to EDC this, but for me it's exactly what I'm looking for in a light I can use around the house. It's very bright for its size.
• Compared to my other S2+ lights and similar-sized 18650 lights.

Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel, and reflector
• Solid copper with a clear coat of some varnish? As I mentioned, it's quite heavy, over 200 grams.
• The light is well machined
• SFT40 produces an intense hotspot with plenty of spill. AR lens. Bezel is simple and sits flush with the rest of the body. Smooth reflector.
• Takes an 18650 battery.
UI - modes
• Mode demonstration
• 12-mode grouping

Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity
• CCT, CRI, ceiling bounce
• 5A?
• Beam has a bright white tint, with a hint of coolness.
• On the lower settings, you could run it for close to a day.

Considerations
• Heavy
• I would prefer no varnish. Could be a pro for some. At some stage, I'll try to remove it with a rotary tool and some abrasive.
• High candela
• No battery included. No onboard charging.

Verdict
A unique S2+ light, I wonder if Simon will make one in titanium one day or bronze. The copper does an excellent job of dissipating heat and I love the look and feel of this light. I didn't realize how heavy it would be but in my pocket, it isn't too noticeable, only when I hold it. but keep that in mind if you're packing light.
