I still have L21B with SFT42R 5000K in the cart, and the only reason I had not pulled the trigger is that SFT60 become available as an option. I read great reviews, but I swore never to get another flashlight with CCT above 5000K after buying from Sofirn.

Don't get me wrong, IF22A is plenty useful for it's purpose, and HS21's flood is a CRI monster at 5000K, but since I have a choice with Convoty, I decided to go warmer.

Favourite emitter ever so far is SFT70 3000K, and until 4000K R95 comes into mass production, and Simon starts offering them, I'm not going to purchase any more "smaller" flashlights. But, I had promised myself a thrower that in theory can reach over 1km, and that was L21B with SFT42R. Ok, it uses 10A, and heats up quite a bit, but... As far as I read from the reviews, at 15A, SFT60 does not produce that much more heat, but produces a lot more lumens, has greater compatibility with secondary optics, at the cost of only a handful candela, compensated for by wider hotspot.

Anyways, as the title says, any news for sft60 5000K?

And do you think i should just but L21B sft42r? It's not cheap to me considering I plan on expanding my collection of Convoys.

Under Q&A on 3x21B's store page, I saw multiple replies that he is developing a MCPCB, and a driver for LHP73B.

I got M21H with XHP70.3 HI R70 4000K, and am not amazed by the output. It's ok with stock TIR. 8° is too narrow, whereas 36° just loses output, and I think it loses it for real, not just on the spill. Tho I might be wrong. I love strong floodlights.

So, I am hoping that LHP73B could give ne that wow factor since it has better tint and more brightness driven by more than 30W, as I've read. Was tempted to order SFT70, then XHP70.3 in M21B with 8A driver, but it just heats it up more while not forcing much more lumens, not even a noticable difference, which LHP73B does.

Anyhow, correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, and since we are still here, any news when Convoy might start offering SFT70 4000K R95? I would consider overdriving the sssshh out of it. But then, high CRI lights do not need much throw, which automatically voids the need for much brightness.

... but Convoy is willing to do so in M21B?

Talking about SFT70 3000K (which generates lots of heat, but takes the beating the same as XHP50/70).

As I understood, both flashlights use a 22mm driver.

Is it the thermal mass he is worried about, for the emitter not to burn out?

I am even considering ordering the parts, and modding / assembling it myself, but for now, I have no real experience modding flashlights, and soldering inside such small closed space.

Btw, that driver is offered inside L21B for XHP70.3, which is a lot more efficient emitter inside a larger host, tho, without MUUUCH better thermal management. I just recieved a message from Simon saying he can't do the order with S21B/G, but can with M21B. Don't wanna bother him any further with fruitless questions. Also, this might spark a discussion, and be useful to others, hence, I'm asking here.

Thanks in advance!

I want and need a flashlight that will spend half it's time on my MTB's handlebars and half handheld assisting me mushroom hunting instead of IF22A, in the woods, alongside HS21.

It needs to be warm and... Half floody.

Was thinking about:

* S21B SFT70 3000K wide TIR

* M21H XHP70.3 R70 4000K

Originally I wanted to order both, but am having second thoughts. Seems counterintuitive to turn a SFT70 flashlight into a flooder, and an XHP70 into a thrower.

I wanted a high CRI compact one, and high output one with good sustain. Seems like the perfect choices, but ...

Do I really need a 3500 LM flashlight? It'd be blinding. And I doubt it'd illuminate down a 100m long tree hugged path before the next turn.

But then... Wouldn't S21B get too hot too soon and sustain only around 500LM, the same as my H25LR which is not a lot to me?

Should I get ONLY M21H with SFT70 3000K?

But then I do not want to change lenses often...

Help, brothers.

I'd love to see beams, max lumens / cnadela, sustained... Etc...

Of M21H or similar, preferably 6V5A w/ TIR with:

• SFT70 3000K
• XHP70.3 HI R70 4000K
• LHP73B 4000K

I would love ideally to purchase only one flashlight (M21H) with only one of these emitters, and maybe another S21E or M21K with the other, but, really... I work minimum wage in Serbia, and am on the verge of financial struggle not supporting only myself, but... I think Simon deserves our money.

Anyhow, I strayed too far from the topics. Owners of these beasts, assemble and lend me your comparative strength in the battle of beans and flux!!! Meow

So, today I foraged mushrooms for solid 4-6 hours using Convoy S12-UV (9W) w/ 365 nm filter on, intermittently, at max power, and managed to find lots of Russulas which all fluorescense under UV light. Oh, also I burned trough 2 fully charged 5000mAh 21700 batteries. I have PC clear cycling glasses altho I did not use them. Did I do some damage? I feel fine tho. Was mostly using it in combination with Sofirn's HS21 on low (flood or red).

Also, how cooked am I if I continue doing that without wearing glasses?

Pozdrav,

Vozim bicikl pod nazivom Stevens Taniwha 2022 sa točkovima prečnika 29". Bandaši su široki 19mm, ali fabričke gume su 2.25". Iako čitam na netu da to nije problem, čini se da su ze baš zbog te razlike u širini, spoljašnje gume "olabavile", otanjile po strani, pored toga što su već istrošene, pa mi trebaju nove.

Fabričke gume su Smart Sam 29x2.25 sa K-Guard zaštitom i želeo bih da ih zamenim maaaalo užim gumama sa mnogo većim stepenom zaštite pošto najčešće vozim kroz šume i selendre i prečesto ih bušim i vadim trnje.

Ostao bih uz Schwalbe jer sam zadivljen dugotrajnošću. Zasad se, koliko googlam, dvoumim između:

Smart Sam Plus (Double Defense) 29x2.1

Marathon Plus (Smart Defense) 29x2.1

Na jednom sajtu (možda Pro Bike) sam video da imaju model jedne od te dve samo širine 1.6". Jel' to preusko za moju namenu - stenje i korenje?

A da ne okolišam, glavno pitanje je, oko kojeg bih molio pomoć - gde mogu u BGu ili okolini kupiti par jedne od ove dve gume?

Iz Lazarevca sam, pa mi je ok i platiti dostavu, samo da znam da je to to i da nisu stajale u magacinu sto godina (zato više volim da pogledam uživo u kakvom su stanju).

Unapred hvala!!

I got other things to get done before heading off to work which is soon. Won't tell anyone at home until they discover it... It feels terrible, but I don't even have time to type more than this.

From the most to the least important to my needs and wishes:

• M21H sft70 3000K w/ beaded and stripe TIRs for my bicycle.

• L21B sft40 3000K for ungodly throw across misty hills and meadows as compared to IF22A

• M21K LHP73B 5000K for maximum power

• S12 3x519A 4000K because the host is as beautiful as freshly shaven bollox

• S21E B35AM 4000K cuz why not. Probably bad for MTB, but awesome for camping, hiking, and indoors.

Tho I was contemplating M21H w/ XHP70.3 4000K for handlebars since it doesn't matter which one - no driver other than for sft40 has a spring on it's side. I greatly value lumens, then throw, then spill for bike. But I do not need another low CRI light... Altho XHP70.3 r9050 somehwere in between HI and R9... W/ positive DUV... Shame.
