@@adisabtu2110 TS23 has strobe mode via triple-click, per my testing.

@@TonyMontana-xj3zv I used a lux meter, at 10 meters distance. Calculated beam distance for the 3X21B (3x XHP70.3-Hi 5000k) is around 625 meters For comparison, I also did measure the Convoy 3X21A (3x SFT40), which has a calculated beam distance of around 1000 meters, using my lux meter at 10 meters calculations. The Lumintop PK21 (single XHP70.3-Hi) has a calculated beam distance of 1150 meters, using my lux meter/10 meters.

@@TonyMontana-xj3zv Nope I don't think Convoy 3X21B pushed these XHP70.3-Hi LEDs much as Convoy tends to be quite conservative. The Lumintop PK21 (single XHP70.3-Hi, uses 2x 21700 batteries) on the other hand, does push the single XHP70.3-Hi LED quite hard. As it indicates up to 8000 lumens with a single LED. The 3X21B with 3x XHP70.3-Hi, based on other reviews can reach something like 14000 lumens more or less. So each XHP70.3-Hi is just giving an easy 4000-5000 lumens.

@@dta8437 Yeah maybe can reach but for how many second until stepdown?😅 This light is to small to have 3 x Xhp70 inside, my convoy 4x18a with single 70.3hi steps down about after 6-7 minutes. Single LED on a big light like this is enough to have great runtimes and 5k lumens. I had the sofirn q8 plus with 6 LED, Turbo only for 50 second, steps down so fast to low lumen value, i sold the light after some days. Also got a convoy with single SBT90.2 led, this is a beast of throwing. Even on 30-50% Power, it throws 500 meters easy on half output. In my opinion multi-LED flashlights are just money waste, you pay for the led's and the runtimes are disappointing.

@@watzegjemedaarnouvan TS30S Pro and DL70 are different flashlights. DL70 designed for diving (only has a few brightness levels) and has very high max brightness (wide beam). TS30S Pro designed as a regular more handy size (but still big head) flashlight, and designed more for farther beam distance.

Yes agree 🤝

left-hand side flashlight = Sofirn C8L (XHP50.3-Hi LED) right-hand side flashlight = Lumintop GT Mini Pro (XHP50.2 LED)

@@kyletamayo5801 both SST40 and SFT40 are cool white

Cool White normally is 6500k

@@lakasund Thanks

yep, so good for self defense against criminals specially if combined with other tools.

@@DinnerForkTongue that's true.. although I'm more neutral with regards to the Nichia 219C since I've experienced 219C with acceptably good tint, but have also encountered some that have a not-so-nice greenish tint. But perhaps as you said, it paved the way for the 519A..

@@dta8437 I'll defer to you on the 219C tint lottery experience. I only got one from Convoy and its duv is pretty much perfectly neutral, bordering on slight negative. Absolutely beautiful emitter.

@@DinnerForkTongue for the several XHP70.3-Hi R9050 that I have tested, some of them may be slightly more greenish compared to the R70 variant. However, I find it to not be that bad when not comparing. The slightly greenish may vary a bit from sample to sample, but it's not as bad as the greenish tint of many SST40 LEDs.

R9050 in 4 I have is DUV +0.0004 and up (one is 0.0009 ,crazy green 5000k) , R70 from -0.0001 if you are crazy lucky and get a great bin ( 4 of 5 are +0.0004 and up) . The point is , CREE is almost always green :)

@@dskikods What keeps me from buying Cree in a nutshell. I can take very mild green as long as the CRI is high, such as some batches of FC40. I think I'll get the SFT70 instead.

If I do candela calculation at 10 meters using a lux meter, I'm getting around 1300+ meters calculated max beam distance.

I think more ringy pattern for the SST40. In my limited experience, triple or quad SST40 tend to produce overlapping beam pattern depending on the reflector type.

Some 219C 4000k can be pinkish, per my experience. Or at least appear pink when in a side by side comparison with another color temperature light.

pretty big difference, since the X9L is like a bigger size EDC flashlight (still pocketable), whereas the TS30S is bigger than a "C8" size flashlight and not pocketable (unless very big pockets). X9L = 40mm head diameter, 124mm length TS30S = 55mm head diameter, 155m length

The difference is a bit subtle here. 219C can reach a bit higher max brightness than 219B. 219B tends to be a bit more "rosy" color, while 219C may have tendency to be slightly greenish. In this sample, I think the 219C looks ok - not that greenish.

@@dta8437 Ok thanks. But think you couldnt say anything about the tint in general. I have a 519A with a slightly greenish tint but I have seen other reviews where theirs have a rosy tint. I also have to different Crees with 4000k and slightly rosys tint but the cool white on Crees rather tend to be greenish.

@@Gieszkanne there's of a "tint lottery" if no specific "LED part number" indicated.. I've gotten 219C 5000k (on other flashlights) that look greenish, and some that look OK (not rosy, but not that greenish). For 219B, it seems there's a less tendency to be greenish (I've not had too many 219B though, but I've gotten a few that are very rosy, and a few that are just slightly rosy). But overall, 219B tend to be more rosy than 219C, as per my experience. The same can be said for 519A. But in general, at least for me, the 519A isn't as greenish as the average 219C, but not as rosy as 219B. Personally, I think I like the E21A 4500k/5000k. They're just more 'pure neutral', not greenish and not too rosy.. Again though, it just might be tint lottery..

Yes very near there. Although soon there will be a high-rise.. will need to find somewhere else nearby for beamshot testing..

R70 refers to having a Color Rendering Index (CRI( of 70. R9050 refers to having a CRI of 90 (50 is how well it renders the red color). Higher CRI means it renders the color more closely to natural sources of light such as the sun or a candle or an incandescent bulb.

As far as I know, at this time (November 2023), the TS11 from Wurkkos still uses the 2022 firmware. You'll need to have the firmware updated by using a firmware updater kit (or find someone near your area who has it). Updating is not difficult, but will need the updater kit. You may check out the BudgetLightForum for more details.

@@dta8437 hm. Okay. Thanks.

Some S2+ / S15 with SFT40 may have a ring pattern. Depends on the batch of reflector used.

Unfortunately I don't have a Nicron N8F. However checking specs indicates that the Nicron N8F uses a "Cree" LED (which specific Cree LED is not specified) and lists 800 lumens on specs. The N81 uses a "Samsung" LED (and by doing some observation on the N81, it appears to be a Samsung LH351B (different from LH351D) and lists 700 lumens max on specs. The N81 supports 18650/14500 battery as well as regular AA (1.5v) battery with included adapter. The N8F does not seem to list compatibility with AA 1.5v battery.
