This please. Can anyone tell us the driver diameter? Is it the same size driver as M26C? Just want to know driver dimensions please. thank you, I have an M26C on the way
Yesterday i got mine. I gotta say that SMO reflector shows amazingly small amount of yellow crap comming from XHP70.2. I’m still surprised. And those rings Swabs are talking about are coming from the bottom part of the bezel ring and sometimes from reflector emitter opening.
Simple solution is to use permanent marker and ink just the opening of reflector and bottom part of the bezel ring. Be carefull not to touch the inside of reflector!
Beam gets improved instantly without rings. I’m gonna heat anodize bezel ring for much better look instead of just painting it.
Received my M21C, excellent flashlight, the only thing that does not fit me on paper and that my M21C differs from the measurements of the review are the lumens and the consumptions. The normal for 4,000 OTF lumens is about 15A, and that proportion I get in mine, about 8.5A and 2,700 lumens, very far from the 9A and 4,000 lumens of the review, but still excellent.
I also measured the M21C XHP70.2 at around 8-9 Amps max (tailcap current), which is also similar for the Astrolux FT02S (XHP70.2). Both flashlights claim “4000+” lumens, but my own “guesstimate” (ceiling bounce lux measurement) would be in the ballpark of ~3000 lumens, which matches with the power/current consumption.
I would say the Convoy M21C (XHP70.2) and the Astrolux FT02 (XHP70.2) are very similar in terms of brightness and beam pattern. Both have similar size heads and both use 1x21700 battery. Difference is one uses a tailswitch and the other uses a side-switch…
No, he just means 18650s will fit in the light and that high drain is suggested/required. 30Q should be perfectly fine since they can handle 15A (and even 20A, but with significant voltage sag).
