The L21B is my favorite form factor torch and I love the programming it allows... I have the sft40 and 90.2 versions and love them both! The sft40 is definitely underrated as a thrower! The L21B is my perfect light and for the price it's hard to beat IMHO!
I wonder if ide have a difficult time putting in one of those lit up switches, do you have to sauder. I think I'm getting the sft40 version of this light, kind of wanted the more neutral tinted one but the sft40 seems well rounded, kinda wanted the green emitter one
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 RUclips 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
@@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.
Haha. I know I love the sbt90.2 too. Not the best to take camping as it kills batteries and it is ridiculously expensive compared to other LEDs that are really good. I really like the sft40 and xhp50.3hi as they use half the power of the sbt90.2 yet produce an amazing beam and huge quantity of light
Suggestion, My Fav EDC flashlight is believe it or not, is Olight Warrior Mini 2. But I hate the cool white LED. Emitter swap video to SFT-40 5000k would be great. ;)
If you send me your light, I’ll install a sft40 5000k. I need to order some 5000k, I thought they only had 5700k and 6500k. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they make 5000k sft40s. Now to try and find some
I have the Convoy L21B SFT40 and the Convoy L7 SBT90.2 and the L21B is brighter and throws further. The L7 costs 3x the price of the L21B and it doesn't perform as well, which is disappointing for the L7.

This is the light I recommend to anyone who wants a flashlight. Definitely the best light under $50
Amazing Thrower, got the Osram Culpm1 led...(1350/1380 Metters) The Best Quality/Price Thrower ✌️✌️🔦🔦
Exactly. Best thrower for the price, period!
good video,Review and comparison. throws fantastic good.
Yes sir, it’s an absolutely amazing light. Thank you for watching and for your kind words
Last modes are: Bike mode and Battery check ( 5 blinks/ 5 volts)
Thank you my friend. I’ll have to check it out, I think you’re referring to the video maybe? Either way I appreciate you watching

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

SBT 90.2 Is my fav LED, SFT40 is 2nd. But SBT 90.2 gets hot not matter what Flashlight its in.

I really like the sft40 and xhp50.3hi as they use half the power of the sbt90.2 yet produce an amazing beam and huge quantity of light
I just ordered the sc33 and I’m excited for that as it has a xhp70.3hi 😀😀😀
Maybe I should have got that to double as a hand warmer when my circulation is off, I went sft40. Hope I like it, haven't ever had a dedicated thrower

@@marcgossling8260 email me your address and I will ship it to you with some compensation ;) If you can get the 5000k ones?

It’s a tough light to beat. Bigger doesn’t always mean better
What's the battery times for low modes and turbo?
Idk. I don’t do battery graphs and runtimes. I know a lot of other channels do, but I don’t. Good luck.
Great, now I want a steak.
Haha. I’d eat a filet mignon every night if I could
The tube on mine does not come off 🤔🤔
Lol. What the heck?!? Must be an older model or it’s glued
