Hello everyone,

This is my first SOTC post. I don't plan on buying any specific one until the very near future (or until Simon releases the H-series 14500), so I think now is the right time to do this.

I had no experience with flashlights until I bought the i5T Plus in 2022, and later the Baton 4 in early 2025 to use as an all-purpose light and to clip onto the visor of my bike helmet. And after hanging around r/EDC for a while and seeing all those cool Oklumas, I discovered this sub around December 2025 and bought a S2+ Ti with a 519a 5000K. And you probably all know how it went from there...

The first photo shows my collection in the IKEA ALEX drawer where I keep it (except for the T4, which stays in the car with Ni-MH), using felt-lined trays I designed for the Gridfinity system.

The second photo shows them in the order I bought them, and the third is by color temperature, except for the orange T5 (because I fried the driver) and the S2 UV.

Okay, here is the list as they are in the second photo, from left to right:

That's all. I'm glad to be part of this community and I’ll answer if you have any questions or suggestions.

Two months ago I received this Convoy T8 (didn't take beamshots until a few days ago) and I wanted to showcase it because it's a build combination I haven't seen around here before.

Specs:

Host: Convoy T8 Dark-green.

Emitter: KT CSLNM1.13 (Osram W1 verdure).

Driver: 3V 5A Buck.

Battery: Vapecell K10.

Accessories: Stainless Steel bezel, Stainless Steel screw-on clip.

I don't have and I don't see any real use for this flashlight other than it being fun, but in my mind it was going to be a really cool build with the dark-green and ss parts, and a nice host to try the osram .13 emitter.

I also wanted to test the color difference with the W2 .F1 I have on the S8, and wow. The F1 is a pleasantly green color, but the .13 is an amazing laser green. The .13 has a "tint shift" (if you can call it that) that at higher levels tends almost towards the cyan side of the spectrum that makes it even more appealing to me.

Beamshots:

Same camera settings on all of them, WB: 5200k, they are a bit out of focus. All flashlights at 100%.

Sorry, I don't have any measurements and there are different size reflectors and emitters, but I hope they're useful to someone.

1st location. The T8 and S8 throw more or less the same but the S8 is more useful with a bigger hotspot and a lot more spill. I added a lhp531 4kk s2+ copper shorty that I've got recently.

2nd location. Same as the 1st and the color comparison between .F1 and .13.

*Side note: On the copper s2+, if you replace the original O-ring with a clear one, the bezel halo will project the copper-colored ring that you can see on the road in the 1st location beamshot, pretty cool.
