[Review] Convoy M21C ( XHP70.2, 1 x 21700) - Excellent performance and regulation # Outdoor beamshots included

4 modes are 0.1% –3% –30% –100% or 1% –10% –40% –100% ?

What type of price range do we think the Biscotti version will have?

Great review. Love the regulation tests. I wonder if the Convoy M3 uses the same driver.

Ευχαριστώ

WOW! I want XHP70 22mm boost driver (1S battery configuration) with Biscuit firmware!

Simon,
Is there any plan to use the XHP70.2 in the Convoy L21A (which as you know is another light that uses one 21700 cell)? The L21A has a larger head so I assume a larger reflector, but it appears to only be available with the SST40 or XHP35 HI.

Also, can your standard 4-mode (0.1–3–30–100) driver be mated with the XHP70.2 — in either the M21C or L21A? If so, could we still expect about a 4000 lumen output at 100% (like the current driver in this review)?

1% –10% –40% –100%

Extra cost is $ 0.86

This change is simple, as long as there is a suitable reflector. I’m just not sure how many people will be interested in this.

Why would the XHP70.2 emitter be any less desirable in the L21A than the M21C (that does have it)? I am under the impression that the XHP70.2 has the potential for about twice the lumen output than the SST40. All that said, I could be completely misguided here.

uh ,because there is convoy L6

I believe the L21A is powered by just one 21700 cell and can even run on one 18650. The L6 — which costs almost twice as much (as a L21A) — requires two 26650 cells. IMO those differences are quite substantial.

i will make a L21A with XHP70.2 sample first

Thanks! Let me know if you want to send me one to test out. :wink:

I have decided to order the M21C. :slight_smile:

Today I disassembled the M21C and got some measurements of the reflector + glass that a fellow member requested via PM.
Keep in mind that I don't have a set of calipers, so I used a regular ruler to get the dimensions (so there's a margin for error).

Reflector's base diameter: 26mm
Reflector's top diameter: 45mm
Reflector's height: 39mm
Glass thickness: 2mm
Glass diameter: 50mm

And here's some photos of the glass and reflector:


Are there any other beamshots of this light out there? I’m wondering how the spill compares to a light such as the thrunite tc20.

How far the throw for this flashlight?
What the size of the magnetic tail ring for this flash light?
Is it the same size magnetic tail ring for C8?

The effective range is about 150 meters to 200 meters.
magnetic ring is not suitable because the M21C is heavy

What LED is that — the XHP70.2 perhaps?

I reallllly dig the XHP70.2 emitter in general. Especially in my M3. Anyone else?

Thinking about picking this light up too.
