Thank you. I used to to have the best spots for drone beamshots, but had a drastic lifestyle change and I’m trying to get back into it and find a good spot

The l21b w/sbt 90.2 is an incredibly powerful light, especially for the price, but I do recommend getting the 3x21d w/buck driver for longer runtimes as it uses 3 21700 batteries instead of just one like this one. Both are awesome, if you need super portable high power for short times, this is good, if you need more light longer and don’t mind the larger size, get the 3x21d

It would definitely help it throw much further. That’s a good light for a sft40 and the op reflector produces a great beam. Best light imo per dollar for edc is the wurkkos td05 with a 3000k or 5000k sft40. I have the 3000k sft40 in mine. Also just put a 3000k sft40 in a Pd36r for one if my subscribers. Beautiful. I need to record more

Ya I can definitely do this. The ff LEDs are 6v so they’ll work perfectly. I have a x1 for sale if you don’t have one

Idk how these compare to the 70.3hi quality wise, I’d honestly go with a 70.3hi as they’re not much more expensive and the quality of them is very high. Did you want high cri or regular?

Ya fine Arizona dust in the summer takes forever to settle. The dirt is so fine that it can stay in the air for extremely long times

Yes. I’ve done a lot of mods for people. This is a tough one as you can see, fenix glues the absolute crap out of their bezels. I can do it though, it’s $30. I’ve gotten much better at this over the past year and a half. This is an old video and one of my first mods.

@@marcgossling8260 Great! How do I contact you? Are you on any of FB groups? Flashlight Fanatics maybe?

Yes, I’m in that group. Just make a post

@@Igryan8yes, just make a post

@@Igryan8I’ll keep an eye out😊 for

Yes

@@marcgossling8260 That sucks!! I thought it would be RGB and I already bought 3 of them on sale $17.50 each. Guess they'll be Christmas gifts.

Ya it takes some getting used to. This is nothing compared to andruil

It’s still a really good light. I just keep mine on medium with short turbo bursts

lol, i should have thrown it. Sofirn missed the mark on this. So much potential, but fell short. Definitely not better than ts32 or as much as I hate to say it the marauder

Not necessarily, it’s warm. On medium it starts to get pretty warm

Will it get hotter and hotter when continuously turn on for 1-2 hours in low light mode?

I don’t know. You’d have to ask sofirn

Yes they do

@@marcgossling8260 thanks man

Thank you sir!

What are you talking about? The q8 cannot maintain 7500 lumens, maybe for 60 seconds and then it drops down. Also this and the q8 are completely different lights. These are throwy lights, q8 is a flood light

False ! It does that when using the turbo at 16000 lumens. And it’s way more than seconds.

I have 2 of these lights and they are amazing, and yes they certainly can do 7000 lumens for hours ! There’s CZcams videos to prove it.👍

@@4playsweet123it’s like 30 seconds. Like I said. I don’t know why you’re talking about the q8 on this video. Also it cannot maintain 7,000 lumens lol. It drops to 1000 lumens after 5 mins. Ask sofirn. Ask any reviewer. Watch a review with any runtime graph and you’ll see or buy a lux meter and see for yourself

@@marcgossling8260 he’s the same guy who buys the 100,000 lm flashlight from Amazon for $10 and swears it’s true.

I’m sorry what are you wondering?

Ya the L8 throws 1500m so it out throws the L21b, but it doesn’t seem like much. If you want a step up in throw, go with the 3x21d. I made a video on it and did a lot of comparisons with it and it’s an absolute monster. For throw, I use that.

@marcgossling8260 3x21d hey, cool thanks I'll look through your videos now and check it out 😊

Beam is kind of green, but tons of throw

@@marcgossling8260 Something like sst-40 I guess.

Wow! Thats awesome my man. You are a true fan of the xhp70.3hi. If you want something to blow your mind, check out the Sofirn sp60. Beautiful beam. Convoy L21b would be similar to sp60 and much cheaper, if you want a bigger light with the xhp70.3 hi, I also recommend trying a few different tints and a high cri version. I put the 4000k high cri 70.3hi in a lot of my lights and love the beam

@@marcgossling8260 Thanks for the recommendation! I'm a big fan of Wurkkos and Sofirn lights (to a lesser extent, Convoy). I took a crash course on flashlights and have already bought fifteen of them this year alone. 🔦😭 Although I like the XHP 70.3 LED, most of my FLs come with either the XHP50.2 or SFT-40 emitter. I currently have the old TS25 on order with quad Nichia 391D LEDs (I like those Anduril thingies). I haven't really given twin 21700 cell flashlights a second look and the only compact throwers that I have are the Sofirn IF22a and the Wurkkos TS11 with the 18650 tube. The Wurkkos TD01c did strike my fancy but wonder if it's worth getting that, because the IF22a is also a single 21700 thrower. I find Convoy lights to be relatively inexpensive, but they look more industrial to me and I don't really fancy its Biscotti(?) UI. My only Convoy is an M1 with the green CSLMN.1 F1 Osram emitter. It came in the cheapest, unmarked plain cardboard box I've seen with an internal bubble wrapping, no clip and no instruction manual. Heck, the M1 doesn't even have a LED power indicator (although it can do a voltage check through a series of blinks). OK, I'm going to check out the Sofirn SP60 soon! 🙂

Ya convoy is cheap and basic. One of the reasons I love them. Tons of power for less than any other company. I used to love auxiliary lights, but now I don’t use them at all, I don’t want anything to kill my battery except a powerful led. Of course the step above convoy would be wurkkos and sorfirn, which have way more frills surprising. Thank you for watching and feel free to ask me any questions if you have any. Best of luck down this rabbit hole of flashlight life

No idea. That is weird. Definitely return it

@@marcgossling8260 I've seen a similar post on reddit with that problem. I think is bad driver?

Yes most likely

No idea my man. I’m just guessing

@@marcgossling8260 Yeah finally was the driver, Sofirn replace it, epic support from them really no complaints. Can i ask you. Default 70.3 is 6500, the link you provide has also 20mm MCPCB, is this the right size for sc33? Thank you.

Ya I don’t like the 6500k sst20, I do love the 4000k sst20, but wanted to try something different and tried to get wurkkos to produce this model, but they said the 719a is too expensive. It’s an awesome light I ended up trading for a $260 microtech knife lol

😊

I really like the dual tail switches and someone states that theirs had instant turbo, but that wasn’t the case with mine. Both are solid choices, especially the buck driver on the td01c, but mine also has a bad tail switch. I ended up putting a 3000k sft40 in my sf26 and it’s now my go to. Td01 sits on a shelf lol

Hi Bryan. I hope you’re well man and it’s good to hear from you. Thank you for watching my man. Tell everyone hello for me

@@marcgossling8260 I sure will. Good to see you back at your videos.

Great!

This is such a good, cheap light, that theres no harm in getting 2 or 3 lol. The sft 40 in any tint is an excellent choice, I prefer higher cct as that makes it brighter. The light up tail switches are pretty easy to install. No soldering required. You’ll need snap ring pliers or something to unscrew the brass ring and simply install the new switch. There’s a video on CZcams on how to do it. Or I can make one. Thanks for watching

​@@marcgossling8260I hope I remember to try to make one, thanks your comment was reassuring, never had an Sft40, or a convoy. Do you like their telescoping lights too? So excited to get the l21B, came with a grey battery in the package, hope my xtar vc4 I think it is charges a 21700 , only ever charged 18650s, have a good day flashlight friend

I think I should figure a way to order a lit up tail switch, help from losing it, glad no saudering required

@@ShouldaWavedyes you vc4 will Charge the battery just fine. As far as their telescoping lights I can’t offer my opinion as I don’t own one. I’m not a big fan of telescoping lights, but if I did buy one, it would be the convoy z1 w/ sft40. Another good option would be the w5050sq3 as it’s a round die led, but it uses a 5amp fet driver which won’t give you the best runtimes. You could easily install a 5 amp buck driver, but that requires some soldering.

Thank you my man. I hope you enjoyed the video. I don’t know why they didn’t upload clearer. Something to work on for my next video

Thank you so much. I need to adjust my drone. The pictures were perfect on my phone, but when I transfer them to CZcams they get discolored and grainy. I hope that you get the idea of how this flashlight performs. That’s my intention. For others to understand what they’re getting before they buy it.

The L8 is much brighter! Considerably brighter. If you want a small thrower I would recommend the convoy L21b w/sft40. If you want the most powerful out of all of these I’d recommend the 3x21d with buck driver. The sbt90.2 led is too powerful for one 21700, the battery only lasts a hour. Either way these are all really good choices

@@marcgossling8260 Спасибо, буду изучать фонари. Всего Вам лучшего!

6v

Tha ks

The L8 is better, but I’d actually recommend the 3x21d as it’s even larger and has over 2x the battery capacity at the same price. It also has the buck driver option. I love my L8, but I prefer the 3x21d and it is much more powerful

I’m selling my L8 and 3x21d if you want to get them a little cheaper than from aliexpress

@@marcgossling8260 Ty, that's a nice offer. But it has to shipped to Germany. Idk how it's done to avoid VAT.

It has a tail switch so no. Usually there’s only lockout mode on side switch lights. The only exception that I know of is the brinyte pt16 and pt16a as it has an edc mode for its side switch while having 2 tail switches.

Thank you

Yes. Fet driven flashlights can achieve higher output(lumens/candela) because they are not regulated. A buck driver will not be able to get as bright, but it will sustain higher lumens longer as the driver is being regulated. I don’t mind a fet driver, but if I was planning on using this light for search and rescue I would want a buck driver. For everyday random use, I like the fet as it is brighter in short bursts, but it will get hotter and the batteries won’t last as long

​​@@marcgossling8260i was wondering the same thing. I have another question if you don't mind: with the Fet i know that it cant sustain the output for longer periods of time but if im using it at 50% or 40% battery will the lumin output be at the same level as at 90% 100% battery? In other words does the lumin output go down as the battery level also goes down?

This one is the 6500k. I ended up selling this one and now have a 5000k version

@@marcgossling8260 why did you get the 5000k over the 6500k?

lol. They tend to beep at the most in opportune moments

I know there’s some graphs of how long this light can sustain lumens, but 1800 seems a little high for a light like this. I’m sure it can sustain 8-900, but not 1800. If you need something that can sustain that kind of light for an hour, I’d recommend the wuben x1. You’re going to be hell bent trying to find a smaller light that can produce that output for a hour

Thank you very much!

lol, I’m glad they don’t so that I can sell my creations lol. This one is going back to all 519a domed LEDs and it will be the best mini flood/throw combo light in the world

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $3.73 10％ Off | Tactical Flashlight Portable Ring Adapter Compatible With Multiple Models With A 2.2cm Inner Diameter Airsoft Hunting Camping a.aliexpress.com/_mOc9aYi

I think I’m going to switch them all back to 519a LEDs which is like a wurkkos one, but I like the small size of this. Just a super cool light

​@@marcgossling8260My SP33S It does not work unless the charger cable is connected. What is the problem, given that the battery is fully charged?

@@Fahad_X09did you try a different battery? Also if that doesn’t work then I’m guessing that there’s a problem with your driver

@@marcgossling8260 No What is the best battery? 26650 5500mah

Thank you my friend. I’m so happy to hear this

Thank you. I’m starting back up

I mod everything I can lol.

This was my 2nd reflow and it was quite a while ago. If you’d like to see better mod videos I’d recommend watching a mod I’ve done more recently. Thank you for watching and your criticism

Ya it’s definitely bright enough and tough enough to use as an attack light

I prefer the tool aa because of the tail switch. I’m not a huge fan of 90degree lights

I looked up that light and the emitters are pretty similar. I’m really happy to see this led being used as it is a powerful one. The ones from kaidomain seem better made than the bt90 as I bought both and I really like this one.
