Bicycle headlight - S2/S6/S8 mount on an Origin8 stem
Flashlight is an S6 with Osram W1. The mount is designed to aim at about 10 degrees down from the level of the top of the stem, whatever that is. With the Osram the hotspot ends about 20' out.

From left to right:
S2+ TI - XHP50.3 4000k - 4A convoy 6V
S2+ - 519a 2700k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC
S2 - Triple 219c 4000K (FW3A) - 5A Convoy CC
S8 - SFQ65 3000k - Dr. Jones H17Fx
Roche F12 - 519a 4500k - 5A Convoy CC
S2 - Osram CSLNM1 - 5A Convoy CC
S6 - 519a 3500k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC
The boost driver (S2+ TI) and Dr. Jones (S8) are staying where they are, but I plan to replace the constant current drivers with buck drivers. I'm also going to make the S6 a triple with the same 519a 3500K dedomed, swap the 219C Triple for a spare XPL HI from my other FW3A, and trade the Osram for an SFT40; all three of those will get 8A drivers, and the others 5A.
I know the Roche isn't really a Convoy. But I got it from Simon, and they're all just tubes after all.
It's just a little guy, but I think it looks great on the S2+. Some bending required to get the fit right, but they do clip on securely without modification. Be careful bending though; I broke a couple where the arms meet the clip.
It does extend just past the head, but not enough to keep it from tail standing. At least if you align it with the space.

I'd still like to find another clip I like better, but so far I keep coming back to the press on convoy clip. Before this setup I had a Dr. Jones H17Fx with XHP50.3 HD and OP reflector. That setup went into an S8, which I think suits it a little better.
I recently went on a trip and wanted to bring something nice to carry, but not too difficult to replace.
