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

The other day I received my Lumintop FW21 Pro floodlight from Nealgadgets.
FW21 site: nealsgadgets
Mateminco site: Mateminco
It’s a 3 x xhp50.2, 21700 which I will be comparing to the Lumintop FW3A, Amutorch AT40 mule and lastly to the Mateminco MT07 (7 x SST20 4000k version) (Astrolux MF01 mini):

Up close look at the 3 x XHP50.2 leds:

Neal’s own brand C8+ (1 x XHP50.2) …………… FW21 (3 x XHP50.2):

Nice to see the FW21 Pro in action.

How fast does it heat? How long before it impacts global warming?
Seriously curious to know how this light sustains so much power in such little body.

Normally, I almost always do not use turbo settings except when taking photos, as I don’t have practical use for it in my case (being a city-dweller).

However, now that I am asked on how fast does it heat, I just tested it: I double-clicked for Turbo, let it go until it substantially throttled down: 24.89 seconds.

The light’s head was noticeably very warm on the last 8 secs. and near unbearably hot to my hand.

Edit: I just knew that when this light is on Turbo mode with a fully-charged 30T, it gets hot very fast…maybe just after 5 seconds?

Thank you for your comparative photos. I never run any of my lights past moderately warm. Anything after moderately warm, I throttle back and let them cool off. This, even though I am excited about lights that are capable of very brief maximum power for the size of the light and very brief maximum power for the size of the fuel supply. I only use the maximum, upper modes for one or two seconds to get a quick view of a large area illuminated brightly, then I throttle back down to normal mode. Again, thank you for your valuable comparison pics!

Yeah, we are on the same category bro. A few seconds of Turbo here and there is good enough for me…as majority of my lights are for collection and the pleasure of owning (who does not, btw)…though my EDC lights (Tool, Eagletac D25A) are the most used and abused ones!

…and thanks for the positive comments! :beer:

Thanks. That was expected.
Glad it did not melt in your hand and you can still type on a keyboard. :wink:

Nightwatch Avaritia NA40 (3xSST20, 26650) ———— FW21Pro:


Tomorrow night the Nightwatch NI40 with an Osram S2WP led will be pitted against the FW21 Pro.

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:
