This has been my default hiking light for at least a year. It's built like a tank.
There are other torches similar in size such as the Wurrkos FC13 but the 21700 battery and choice of emitters combined with the price and my positive experience with Convoy customer service makes this an easy choice.
Now that you've stepped into the church of warm emitters, I highly recommend looking at a Noctigon or Emisar next. Those are the two brands maintained by Hank Wang, better known under the umbrella term "Hanklights" and they are considered some of the best enthusiast flashlights for the price. I own waaay too many of them and couldn't recommend them enough.
Awesome! Good to know. I’ll check them out👍
What makes Noctigon or Emisar so good? Longer run times on turbo? Better cost to quality ratio? What makes them better?
@@polymathematics5837 Very very high cost-effectiveness, and quality in general. Plus very advanced drivers.
If you like choices and low prices Convoy is the way to go!!
Indeed!
Congratulations, Pardon, this video convinced me to pick up a second S21E. I wanted a warm white side switch light anyway. This new one will probably replace the S21E I already have in the rotation, because the current one is both MAO (no physical lockout) and 5000K (doesn't cut through haze and dust that well). I like it well enough but it's problematic to EDC, so nope, into the reserve seats she goes.
Yep, now it's in my hand, my new S21E 3000K. Got it with a B35AM rather than a 519A, to try it out, and I don't regret it at all. Wonderful wide beam, with an even prettier tint than the 219B (same 3000K CCT) I have on a T3.
Good job
Thanks!
Not a big fan of the port covers on any of these flashlights. I'd rather pull the cell and charge it separately personally. Weird question but from a quality standpoint how are the threads internally. My olights for example I have noticed have anodized threads while my Reylight does not. Enjoying your reviews keep it up.
Thanks for the encouragement. On this Convoy and on the Sofirn lights I’ve reviewed, the threads are anodized up until the very end (I think contact with the aluminum is needed for the connection). Olight seems to have the smoothest threading of all the companies I’ve tried in my opinion. I don’t know how Olight manages it but they are all buttery smooth in my experience.
Note one thing: with Convoy, MAO lights have essentially no anodizing in the threads. You can't break the circuit with just a little twist.
That's a gorgeous flashlight Mr pardon my English!! I just wanted to ask you if they make it in a cool white LED color?? Because I don't like the neutral White color it reminds me of the incondisent bulb and I don't like that!! So thank you again for a great video and God bless
Yes, sir! They make these in a variety of color temperatures. You will just want to make sure you select an emitter / LED with high CCT when you order the torch. Perhaps you’d like 5000K to 6500K depending on your preference. Also, did you get my email address? Let me know if you still need it so I can send you a sticker!
@@PardonMyEnglish no I never found your email address! I don't know if I just can't find it or it disappeared! By yeah can you please give me your email address so I can send you my info!! Thank you very much and God bless
@@PardonMyEnglish also so just to be clear 6500k would be the most brightest cool white LED right???
Correct! And my email is jordanocustoms@gmail.com 👍
Here's my suggestions for your dragon flashlight:
- Bahamut
- Yiazmat
- Tiamat
- Fatalis
I like those! Believe it or not, I study ancient near eastern mythology. So I am familiar with Tiamat and Bahamut!
Yiazmat? lemonade here clearly plays Final Fantasy 12 😂
IPX4 the only reason I haven't bought it yet.
Yes, if it was iPX8 it would be a no-brainer
Omg this tint 😅 i can say OK for a 5000k light, but in my mind "i'll sell it soon", but this tint, this is madness 😅
Haha yes! It is very amber / orange. It was worth trying for me but I think 4000k to 5000k is my personal preference.
2700K from a 519A, with the green AR-coated lens, is very similar to an incandescent bulb in color. It's nostalgic for me, so I enjoy it. Now this emitter, or the 719A, in 5000K? _Canned sunlight._ Matches a clear sunny say almost perfectly.
@@PardonMyEnglish i'm more a thrower type, i like it more in range of 5700-6500K. 5700K in a luminus sbt90.2 is my best LED i love it for throwing over 500 meters. Now i daily use the convoy 4X18A with xhp70.3 Hi (6500k) on my plot, plenty of light, insane capacity with 4 cells.
Great video! And does a low/warm CCT mean higher/better CRI? Thanks in advance. 🙂
Great question. I had to look up the answer, myself. Apparently CRI is independent of color temperature as they are two different things. For example, a 5000K fluorescent light source could have a CRI of 75, but another 5000K fluorescent light source can have a CRI of 90 (I got this info from westinghouselighting.com).
@@PardonMyEnglish That's brilliant! 🤗 I never understood it until now. So the CRI is independent of the color temp. Got it. Cheers now! 🙋🏻♂️
Yep, CRI doesn't depend on CCT. Heck, high CRI cool white is a _beautiful_ light to witness.
@@DinnerForkTongueThanks 😊 for the added info.
hello! my s21e gets very hot while charging, does that happen to your light too?
Mine gets warm but not hot.
Is the battery you are using new or an older cell?
