Lumintop FW21 Pro Floodlight photo comparisons: Mateminco MT07,, AT40 mule, FW3A...C8+, NI40, SP36.

Hi!!
Thank you for the comparison. The truth is that they are very good quality images. A question. Could you tell me what battery did you use in the mateminco mt07?
I have that flashlight and with the Samsung 21700 40T gives me around 500 lumens more than with a normal 26650.
I ordered a lumintop fw21 pro and i would like to know if there is a difference between those flashlights.
Thank you!!

During the photo shoot, l used my Shockli IMR 30A 5500mAh 26650 cell for the MTO7.

Whats the tint used in FW21 pro? strangely omitted everywhere…… 6500k?

And tonight, the Nightwatch Stalker NI40 with the getting rare Osram S2WP led compared to the FW21 pro:


Thanks for these beamshots, tatasal. Really nice!

It’s great to see the max output from the FW21 Pro. Too bad it steps down so quickly, as does the FW3A. These “pocket rockets” aren’t really meant for sustained turbo use. But for momentary use it’s impressive.

Yeah, not meant for sustained Turbo mode use…but just like having a car fitted with Nitrous oxide, more used on occasional burst of extreme power output. It’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it though.

I have lost count of the lights I presently own, and most of them are the present “hand-burners” when used in Turbo mode, but what I know is I have only one light (among the other one or two ever sold, IIRC) that can sustain its Turbo mode as long as the batteries sustain the load without throttling down to High, and that’s my Fenix TK70.

Edit: I think the other light I once owned that does not step-down from Turbo was the Acebeam K60, IIRC.

Sofirn SP36 nw versus the FW21 Pro:


The SP36 does not do so bad against the 21 Pro… and it has USB. The 21 is almost half it’s size though.
Do you have a EC03 on order?

Yeah, size matters :stuck_out_tongue: , but in this case, also the weight. 3 x 18650 vs. 1 x 21700.

I don’t have an EC03 on order.

can u do some test of the fw21 pro over a larger area distance like 100m or more, if possible tatasal ?

I will try to find such place…I have relocated and the place where I live now is so well lighted.

New place in the house for some beamshots: as per Google Earth, 28 meters/91.8 feet

FW3A —————————————————— FW21 Pro:

If you could compare the mateminco mt07 and the fw21 un the same place, would be perfect!!

when you can, no problem !!

Btw, the time-honored tradition here in BLF is, when in doubt, buy both! :beer:

Thanks again for posting all of these great pics. They really demonstrate the differences very well. I love your new little flashlight!

cool pics… the fw21 is very good flood monster.

As per request of alvaro52021:

Tonight it’s not raining, so here are your shots:

The MT07 powered by the Vapcell INR26650 and used the copper plate on Arctic MX4:

…and now for the beamshots: MT07 (7xSST20 4000k) ———————- FW21 Pro (3 x XHP50.2):

Thank you tatasal!!!

Nice comparison. The SST-20 really brings out the red!
