Been out of the game for a few years… recommend me sub <$40 lights

For those considering Convoy lights whose priorities include high CRI and sustained output, I’d recommend the Nichia B35AM over the XHP50.3 HI R9050. Peak output is less for the Nichia because it can’t handle as much current, but sustained output is about the same because that’s limited by heat, and the two are equally efficient.

Color rendering, however is much better with the Nichia, especially R9, which affects rendering of reds, browns, and oranges.
