Convoy S21D w/ legendary Nichia 219b. Review & comparison w/ Nichia 519a, B35AM, FFL351A Rosy & "tint-snob" LEDs. (Summary & measurements on P. 1) LATEST: Firefly E07X with VERY rosy 351A LED and Lume1 Driver.đź‘Ť

Although I take a lot of white wall beamshots, I refrain from commenting until I have seen it in actual “real life” use. So last night I had Skilhunt on my forehead, and 3 lights (D4V2, S21D, M21B) in my pockets. It’s a good thing my wife is used to this craziness. :person_facepalming: :slight_smile:

Beam color: Used at high and medium mode during my evening walk, B35AM 4500k appears to be in between 219b and 519a 4500k, but is closer to 219b’s magenta/rosy tint than 519a’s neutral tint. For those who find 219b at times just too rosy, B35AM would provide a relief.

Beam character: A bright and relatively smaller hotspot (small, not tiny), and spill that is of low-medium brightness, but still bright enough to make it useful as a walk light. The throw (~263 m vs ~170 m) is subjectively significantly better than my S21D and D4V2. For me this is the first Nichia light in my small collection that qualifies as a walk light.
