order I placed for a few other lights, incluidng a Convoy M2 and
an S3. I will be reviewing those at a later date. The money
spent on the other Convoy lights was well spent as they are of
amazing quality for such a small price. The M1 is no exception.
Let's start out with the specifications of this light per
Fastech's website.<!--break--></p><p><strong>Manufacturer

UCTION</strong></p><p
class="auto-style2">The Convly M1 arrived in the standard bubble
bag inside the usual white box. It was included in an order I
had placed which contained 3 other lights and a few odds and
ends. Everything arrived in good shape. The M1, like the other
Convoy lights I received in that order, was in perfect
condition. The only accessory included was a simple lanyard of
the usual type. Some folks might appreciate it but I have a bag
full of that style lanyard and would never trust one of my
lights to it. Too easy for the thin attachment cord to wear
thin and break.</p><p class="auto-style2">The light itself,
while the more plain of the Mx series (M1 & M2), is a very
attractive light with a nice HAIII flat anodizing and a mildly
crenelated bezel. The finish on my example was flawless with no
blemishes, nicks, or mismatched or uneven anodization. The
threads are fully anodized and came well lubed with a nyogel
type silcon lube. Each end of the body tube has a brass insert
for superior electrical conduction the tail to the driver.
Aluminum can oxidize and experience a loss of conductivity.
Most lights, even the very expensive ones, rely on a bare
aluminum connection to conduct all the electricity. It was a
pleasant surprise to see that Convoy took such care in making
sure the M1 had connections that would not oxidize and cause
issues or require the kind of maintenance cleaning that aluminum
on aluminum requires. All connections on the M1 are brass to
brass. Even copper will oxidize and create issues requiring
special treatment and cleaning.</p><p class="auto-style2">The
machining is <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">as
good as</span> better than what I've seen on my Solarforce L2T.
While taking the comparison shots below I noticed my Solarforce
L2T threads felt gritty and rough compared to those on the M1.
I've always considered Solarforce threads as a benchmark for
what threads should be. No longer. That benchmark now belongs
to Convoy and BlackShadow as far as I'm concerned. The threads
a super clean, anodized, and are smooth like butter and a joy to
work with. All o-rings are of proper size and seal tightly to
prevent water ingress at the joints. I have no doubt that this
light will be able to survive 1-2 meters of submersion. The
fins are cleanly machined with no sharp edges, burrs or chips.
The ano is even in all places and is definitely a true
anodization, not some cheap paint job like other lights in it's
price bracket have. The knurling is not the most aggressive ive
seen but it is clean and uniform and it provides a solid grip
wet or dry yet will not tear up your coat pocket over time like
some more aggressive knurling can.</p><p class="auto-style2">The
components used all appear to be of good quality. The
reflector's MOP and has no blemishes, scratches or fingerprints.
The Nanjg 105c driver is a proven component with great options.
All components are heavy and well machined. It's a light that
really feels like it can take a beating and keep on pushing
photons. The switch feels good. The spring is a little on the
long side, in fact the entire tail and switch assembly seems
longer than it needs to be but the light as a whole is very
balanced looking. The o-rings are thick and the grooves are
perfect in width and depth. The pieces seal up tight and snug.
It also accepts all 18650 cells from the shorter unprotected
Panasonics to the long, protected Xtar 18700
cells.</p><p><strong>PERFORMANCE</strong></p><p
class="auto-style3">Performance on the M1 is really sweet. The
beam is very smooth and the tint on my specific example is
standard 3C goodness. While not nearly as bright<span
style="font-size: 1em;"> </span><span style="font-size: 1em;">in
actual OTF lumens</span><span style="font-size: 1em;"> as the <a
href="
HTML https://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10002364/1195015-2020"<br
/>target="_blank">Convoy S3</a> (U2-1B) I purchased, it vastly
out-throws the S3 due to the larger reflector. Properly
designed for an XM-L emitter, the reflector in the M1 is
noticably wider than it is deep. This gives it decent throw for
a compact 18650 light. If you were to order this with a U2 1B
you'd see far more OTF lumens as well as more throw to be sure.
I will be taking some beamshots later tonight and updating the
review with them. I will also include comparison shots of the
M1 against the M2, S3 and a UF P60 equipped L2T (since the
reflector diameter is closest to a p60 light). In the meantime,
here are the raw test numbers.</span></p><table style="width:

in diameter instead of the usual 14mm most other compact lights
have. In fact, all of the compact Convoy lights have the 16mm
tail cap. This makes them very easy to operate and there is no
sloppy squish in the switch. Everything has a very tight, high
quality feel while being easy to operate. The large base allows
for easy, solid tail standing while the thumb notch allows easy
access to the large switch boot.</p><p><a

crenelated bezel but it's really not as agressive as it may
appear in photos. It does allow you to see if teh light is left
on when it's face down on a table. The mild orange peel
reflector smooths out the beam while still providing pretty good
throw for it's size. The flawless, very well polished surface
has a lot to do with that.</p><p><a

105c This is one of the ones with 2 mode groups. Group 1 has 5
modes - low/med/high/strobe/SOS. Group 2 has just 3 modes -
low/med/high. To switch between the groups, enter low mode
while in either mode group. After about 4 seconds the light
will flash once. When it does, quickly turn the light off then
back on and you will be in the other group. The light will stay
in your chosen mode group until you intentionally change it
again. Memory is pretty quick and pleasant to use. I like that
you can lockout blinky modes when you don't want them but can
still have them should you need them. A really nice compromise
and gives the best of both worlds without having to solder any
of the stars.</p><p><a

thick but it works well and adds mass to the head. The o-ring
on the head is properly sized and seals as well as all the rest

that is the wrong size or is useless. Not the case with this
light. ;) </p><p><a

peek inside at the emitter and pill. What do we see? The MCPCB
is screwed in place for easy replacement or upgrades. Thermal
grease is under the pad and covers edge to edge without being
too much. It is obvious that the assemblers take pride in what
they do.</p><p><a

a proper tail should. This allows you to loop the lanyard

you prefer to use a split ring. The ring can sit into this
notch for stable tail standing. </p><p><a

</p><p><strong>MY FINAL THOUGHTS</strong></p><p
class="auto-style2">I can't recommend the <a
href="
HTML https://www.fasttech.com/products/1212405-2020"<br
/>target="_blank">M1</a> enough. It gets a solid "Mac Approved!
"
endorsement! When I first saw the Convoy lights on Fastech's
website I thought the M1 was very plain, especially compared to
the <a href="
HTML https://www.fasttech.com/products/1212502-2020"<br
/>target="_blank">M2</a>, and I fully expected to prefer the M2
that I purchased more than I would this M1. I am a sucker for
stainless steel bezels like the M2 has but this M1 just performs
better and its stealthy appearance has grown on me to the point
where I prefer it. Against a standard p60 light I believe I'd
choose the M1 simply because of the excellent heat sinking and
the choice of driver output and XM-L tint and bin options.
Sure, you can't swap them out as easily as a p60 host but I
usually own a host for every drop-in I have so it doesn't matter
to me. For the money the M1 has to be one of the best values
out there. It's only real competition is the other Convoy
lights. They really are great! I will be reviewing my other
Convoy lights in the very near future.</p>[/html]

Thanks for the review JohnnyMac. Convoy lights seem to be
cornering the market with a wide variety of good cheap quality
lights. Fantastic pictures as usual. What do you use to
watermark your pictures?

Sorry for taking your post off topic. I cant find where
Photobucket lets you change the size off the text.

After entering your text, click outside the text box and you
will then be able to grab a corner of it and enlarge or shrink
it. You can also click in it and drag it to the location you
want it in the pic.
