For the highest throw possible, I would go with the SST-20 5000k Convoy S2+.
30% more throw compared to the XP-L HI.
If you want comparable throw, but with much higher color quality, go with the SST-20 4000k 95CRI. Color will pop, and will make everything look amazing.
The S2+ with sst-20… is that the grey one that Neal just came out with? Or was on Banggood I mean?
I think it’s 5000k… I cant remember… Anyway with the Vinh GT mini, the sst20 is on the block…lol
Edit: the link I checked says 4000k
And I know I went 7135*8 cause thats how I roll
I’m carrying around a Folmov 18650s with a 4000K XP-L HI. Great light but comes with a bad emmiter imo. Modding will be in your near future if you hang out here long. A year ago I was in the dark but I feel I have come a long way since then. Find a light you like and make it better. You can get a lot of help here as well.
I’d just grab the Convoy M2 with XP-L Hi in it. Has the biscotti driver already installed and a nice throwy emitter and SMO reflector. Pick your tint and shine on my friend.
MH20GT? One of the smallest 18650 lights I got, only slightly wider reflector than most tubelights, but emphasis is on throw even vs the regular MH20 (“GT” = “Greater Throw”).
If you don’t want a big-head light like a GTmini or P30, the MH20GT might suit ya.
Where can one find a good deal on one of those now days? Always liked the size but never found a great deal on one. I had a SDMini that I guess was similar to the Nitecore. It found a new home. Still wish I had it. Oh well. I have a Manker U11 that is quite nice but with a OP reflector the throw suffers a bit but, that is okay by me. It’s a good little light.
