ill wait till these 2 arrive till I buy more 
maybe we’ll see a banger deal at the 11.11 aliexpress sales
as far as a choice for a thrower the ‘Convoy 4X18A SBT90.2’ or if simon does the L6 in SBT90.2 would be a great contender for a usable thrower its just close to $106 usd rn so if we see a deal by than ill go for it.
SC31 is an amazing light, what you get for $25 is crazy.
The NTC was removed on the M3 to get rid of the thermal step down, but it also came with the issue of low voltage warning every time it reached x volts. Wasn’t exactly a fix
can these lights be left in the car in a fairy lot climate? like in the glovebox? would it cause any issues for the battery? wouldn’t want my car going up in fire lol
It won’t be a safety concern if they’re out of the sun, but it could cause them to degrade over time
I highly don’t recommend it, it will ruin the battery in a year or two.
I keep lights that run on Eneloop NiMH in the car.
I don’t keep anything with batteries in the car, and I’m not exactly Mr Careful.
Best case, it’ll ruin the cells more than normal use due to extreme cold/hot cabin temps.
Worst case, the cells might leak or worse.
ok fair enough, wont store in the car, I also bought the sp40 headlamp. looks like I’m gonna buy a whole collection before the first one lands at my door.
Hi guys, new user here.
I threw out two $8 zoomie flashlights last week and decided to get real lights.
Hundreds of threads and youtube vids later, I’ve received today my M3-c w. 70.3 at 5000k.
question relevant to this thread: how are you guys getting to High=40%, when my light only ramps up and down, and is not stepped? Do you all have stepped UIs for this light? Is there a way to change the UI from ramped to stepped in my M3-c?
PS, I made a mistake and didn’t order the 26650 6800 mAh version. I only selected the 5500 Keeppower cell. So I ordered the extension and the 6800 battery separately and await their arrival.
Since I now have an extra Keeppower 26650 cell, I think I’ll order an S11 w. GT FC-40 at 4500k and use the extra battery for that.
Lastly, I really, really like the floodiness and pics of the S21D w. 219b @4500 for dog walking, so I will order than when the Convoy Flashlight store opens back up in three weeks.
so those will be my three lights, m3c, s11 and s21d… upstairs, car, and downstairs/dog walking. Oh, I also have ordered a Sofirn HD20 headlamp w. 50.2 throw and 351D for flood for work in dark places.
There is a stepped mode but I can’t remember the button count to change modes off hand. Search M3-C above and there is a good review. I think you will find it much better than ramped mode.
Edit: try 10 presses
thanks, I remembered the UI was explained on the Ali website… 6 clicks puts it into normal stepped mode 1/10/40/100
10 clicks locks it.
Good to jog my memory.
Have had my M3-c for a bit now. Unfortunately I’ve noticed a really objectionable green tint to it in 1, 10 and 40%. However, I’ve decided to just get used to it b/c everything else about this light is so well done, especially thermal management. How can this light maintain 1500 lumens for 3 hours with the 26800, 6800 mAh cell? That is amazing.
Now, I think I might buy some 1/8 minus green for this light that I’ve read about. Anyone know where I can get a small amount just for this light? Seems like it sells in 24x24 for $22 with shipping… yeah,. no.
Just ask for The Boaz. He’s wonderful.
