Pros

  • Small is subjective, but the Convoy S12 UV is really powerful for price.
  • I’m in the US and bought the Convoy S12 UV directly from the Convoy site. You just get it without the filter and add a filter in the same purchase order.
  • I'll add to the Convoy S12 UV with ZWB2 filter recommendations. Should be approximately 5.4W output at 100% power.
  • Another vote for the Convoy S12 UV. I have a few Hanklights with UV, mostly dual-channel, and all costing more than an S12. The only one that can match it for UV cost over twice what an S12 does.
  • Convoy S12 UV with ZWB2 filter.  If you live in the US get the light without the filter installed and get the filter separate. Order from convoylight.com, Simon is a saint.

Cons

  • I received my Convoy S12 UV (Buck/Boost driver with filter) yesterday... I noticed that the light changed power levels on its own (tested three times, always happening after 15-20 seconds after turning it). Without clicker input, it went...

Upgrade from that would be the Convoy S12 UV, much higher output but much more expensive. Mine was $50 but I got an expensive battery for it.

Convoy S12UV (with ZWB2 glass) is my go to recommendation.
