@-X3-

So those are the 21700 versions of L2 and C8+, right ?

mostly yes

[firedome]

1 Ordered, thx.

[Caleb]

I received an OUT OF STOCK notice from Banggood for the two M21A that I purchased.

I received an OUT OF STOCK notice from Banggood for the two M21A that I purchased. :rage:

their system says: Expected on June 20, 2019

maybe the order system offers you to cancel to avoid log waiting (that often collides with the presales)
do not cancel - tell them you want to wait

Yes, that’s what I did.

Thanks

Ordered 1 m21a. Thank you Martin!

[California_Prepper]

What would be the best 21700 battery for the m21a? And the best place to buy it?

[Yokiamy]

I bought some purple Shockli 21700 4500mAh high drain, (received them today) i will let you know if it works ok with the L21a when i receive it

[hodor]

Very tempting! Any chance of including the M21A host?

[California_Prepper]

Has anyone done a review on the m21a? Also, I’m curious to know what the throw is.

[KevinZA1988]

I’ll probably take an L21A later this month… But just to mod it to a white flat.

[Yokiamy]

Ok, received the L21a today and the shockli cells do NOT fit the L21a !
Drat, now i have two brand new cells which do not fit and have no use for.

It seems the diameter of the cells is too large. With my caliper i measured the inner diameter of the tube which is 21,5 mm.
The shockli cells have a diameter of 21,7 mm.

Will it help if you remove the wrapping?

[Yokiamy]

Maybe, but i do not like to have a bare cell in my light, unless i would be sure there is another wrap underneath it, but it does not look like that’s the fact

[KevinZA1988]

I personally don’t mind bare cells. But it’s a pity that they might not fit. I also don’t mind losing 200mAh for a genuine 21700 cell as I’m using in my 21700 Convoy lights. But damn, I almost bought Vapcell “21700” cells that apparently has the same problem.

[dragunbayne]

Mine shipped out finally! Thanks for the code. I’ve got two brand new 21700’s sitting here charged and waiting.

Also, what is white flat? I’m assuming a particular LED, but I don’t know which.

[dragunbayne]

I see, so more throw then. Are we talking a pencil beam just good for showing off, or still a usable search beam?

I’ve got another LED question. Do any of you know of any good throw LEDs that are more around 5000K? I see Acebeam I think it is got some SST-40s that are, but I can’t find them. I just don’t know anything about thrower LEDs, so not sure what to look at.
