Got the last pieces I needed to build these BM35A Convoy S2+ lights. The black host is 3000k and the gray is 3500k.
The MCPCBs came from u/worrub918 and the copper spacers from MTN Electronics.
I really like the look of these emitters, particularly the 3500k. Until now my favorite emitter has been a FFL351A 3700k in my Lanapple. I kind of wish I could put a BM35A into the Reylight.
I tried these with my preferred optic: narrow frosted. However, I ended up with a slightly yellow hotspot at the center of the beams. Switching to the medium frosted optic made these spots go away.
These are running Convoy's 6V5A driver. The hosts get toasty at 100% so I'm considering downgrading to the 6V4A driver at some point in the future.
Beam color comparisons included are shot at 5000k and 4000k white balance.
