Message me anywhere if you have any suggestions or comments, I'd love to hear from you!
Really helpful video was thinking of getting one, happy new year from the UK 🇬🇧👍
I bought the Lumintop edc18 flashlight and I must be honest I feel silly buying the expensive Olight seeker 2 pro because lumintop edc18 is way cheaper and just as bright as Olight seeker 2 pro. 10000 lumens will do me camping Hiking plus I know I'll be busting a top quality flashlight
At 10.25 in the video you can see an alien in the rock. Picking this light up tomorrow! I have the NSX3A so it will be nice to see which one is brighter. Great vid, thank you!
Omg my head tor h is an ace beam h30 4000lumins and it's uncanny as I've got a lumintop fw21pro on delivery great video and I can't wait to see p what I think and great head lamps arnt they
I actually have this light on the way, but I also have 2 astrolux ec03 that runs 6700 lumens, also using a single 21700. It is a little better for heat dissipation, but not much better. It has fins to increase the surface area, but it is still a small light to put out 6700 lumens. There is currently no way around the fact that high lumens in a small surface area is going to get very hot, very quickly. I also have a ec01 that is only a little smaller head than the ec03, and runs at 3500 lumens. You can run it a good bit longer than the ec03 or the FW21 pro, and yes I have the FW3a as well. These are all impressive lumen output lights for very limited amount of time. Some of my throwers can be run on turbo for a long time. My Astrolux MF04 is 2700 lumens in a massive light with 2416 meters of throw. It does not get bad hot, and it is impressive for throw. So is my Thrunite tn42, Astrolux FT03S, Nitcore TM16GT, Astrolux FT03 SST40-W, and several other large throwers. The Sofirn C8G has very good throw for its small size. For the money the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W is the most bang for your buck of any throwers I have. Less than 35 bucks on sale and 875 meters of throw. Would love to have the Imalent MS18 with it's 100,000 lumens, but at over 600 dollars I will have to take a pass on that one. The most I have paid for a light is 160 dollars for the Thrunit TN42 and the MF04 was about the same price on a very good sale. This one I just ordered with a sale price and coupon code, it was about 60 bucks. 10,000 lumens on such a small light is insane for the maybe 30 seconds until temperature regulation drops it down. I even have a Sofirn IF25 with adjustable color temperature between I think 2700k and 6500k. It achieves this feat due to having 2 2700K led and 2 6500K led's and ramps the 2700K emmitters up, until highest point followed by ramping up the 6500K emmitters and finally ramping down the 2700K emmitters. Ramping these in such fashion allows you to set the color temp anywhere between 2700K and 6500K. That was brilliant.
Great light
I have the copper version and it’s smooth warmth will be appreciated on cold winter evening walks. You might enjoy the available LEP models (e.g. Weltool W4 or Fenix TK30). They never get hot & could allow you to track the wildlife from a mile away.
Yes I've been looking for a stronger thrower than my Manker U22 II. Gonna have to save up a little for one of those haha
@@Swallowfire I saved a fair amount on the Fenix with the Fenix-store first-purchase discount and on the Weltool with NealsGadgets normal 15% discount. I do prefer the Anduril diagram for learning the UI but I'm used to state-charts from computer science. The written description is also important to explain some details though so nice that you included a link to the manual.
@@Swallowfire elo
How do you reload the battery?
Nice light I am about to pull the trigger on a Lumintop fw21 X9L in copper
Love the copper. Gorgeous colour.
Great video!! I would love to see a comparison between your lights and the new x9l from lumintop.
It’s got 1 led and runs 6500 lumens with 800m of throw!!
Thanks! Oh yeah I'd love to check out that light. I'll definitely add it to the list haha
Did you ever lay your hands on an x9l ?
If you really like flashlights come join our group at the budget light forum were people from around the world get together and design build and talk about flashlights, plus the group buys are great.
Lumintop make great lights.....I have a LUMINTOP FW21 X9L SBT-90.2 ......and it freaking rocks !!!! .....Thanks for the video .....
How long does it go on a turbo mode?
Hey Alex, great video. I like your style.
Some other owners say the light can sustain the top of the ramp forever without overheating. Can you cnfirm if that is true?
Top of the ramp, yes, though it does get hot, it never ramps down.
Turbo, no. It overheats in turbo after less than a minute.
@@Swallowfire Do you own an FW3A, D4, or KR4 for comparison? I'm thinking about purchasing an FW21 pro for its sustained output, but if it isn't that much brighter than an FW3A at the top of the ramp, then it might not be worth it.
I do own an FW3A and the FW21 Pro is significantly brighter. It's actually only a little bit dimmer at the top of the ramp than the FW3A is in turbo, which it obviously can't sustain.
@@Swallowfire No way. How is that possible. It's like 60% of the lumens and floodier. How similar are we talking, because that's definitely gonna be a purchase from me.
My Haikelite MT03 Devourer TA only sustains enough brightness to equal an FW3A at the top of the ramp, if I run it for 30 mins or longer. It's definitely floodier than the FW3A so it's probably putting out like 1500 lumens. I'd assume that's exactly what the FW21 pro would look like, and that's a league beneath the FW3A turbo. Does that make sense??
After my experience with the Fw3A and emisar d4v2, I don’t think I’ll get anything small and 5k+ lumens. It just gets too hot to utilize turbo. Lumintop is a fantastic value tho.
The heat is a real problem. Not even sure what the solution is. Other than more efficient LEDs and bigger heatsinks.
Just because a small torch can put out 5k+ lumens, doesn't mean you have to use it at that power. Use lower modes & keep the turbo only for emergency or self defense.
What kind of batteries and a charger would you recommend?
I use a Samsung 30T 21700 and charge it with a Nitecore UI1. I like the charger because it's small, cheap, and convenient. You always want to make sure the batteries you use come from a high quality manufacturer like Samsung or LG.
Bad Li-ion means bad news haha.
@@Swallowfire thank you
I had to check how old this video was when I saw your computer monitor.
Hahaha yes I keep that around for posterity. Playing games like Fallout and Control on it is pretty fun too.
What brightness on maximum mode (not double-click)?
The manual says 1060 but I think it's a lot more than that.
It's certainly brighter than my other 1000 lumen lights.
What make is the 6 dollar torch you mention pls?
Thrunite frequently does a promo for the Ti3V2 where you can buy one for the price of shipping ($6)
@@Swallowfire thank you!!
@@Swallowfire wow they are about 25 pound plus on eBay U.K.....any equivalent cheapies I can find in U.K.?
Hmm. You could try the Sofirn C01. They have a promo for £3.07 right now. sofirnlight.com/keychain-lights-c0394
How to charge it ?
There is no built in charging hardware. You need to remove the battery and charge it with a compatible 21700 charger.
Are you a furry?
no lol but my old roommate was, so I have a lot of furry friends
@@Swallowfire oh i thought i recognized the art on the wall at the start
@@furniksadventures9660 the art is by... Oh goodness, what's his name. Ambris. I bought it at a furry con, so you aren't even wrong haha.
@@Swallowfire idk how i recognized art on a wall of a random flashlight video also ponies! xd
@@furniksadventures9660 hey, I respect it
Hello, I just received my Lumitop Fw21 Pro. It's really bright but my flashlight on/off switch jams/sticks in! Every time I click mine it jams and the flashlight ramps up to the brightest mode. Have you had the same problem? It's actually dangerous! The button just sticks and it goes to full power. Is mine faulty or is this a problem that you have also
I actually don't have that problem, but I've heard about rare button problems on r/flashlight. You could ask there for potential solutions.
@@Swallowfire cheers m8👍
