Which Convoy models for me and my boys?

Hi Camaro, I’ve read the review as well as others that pop up from Google search. There’s several YouTube videos too.

There’s one in particular which compares the 3x21a SST40, SFT40 and the 4x18a SBT90.2(the 3x21a version wasn’t out then). 【收割评测】毛裤convoy 3x21a sst40 6800流明 VS sft40 5400流明 vs sbt90.2 航拍夜射全方位展现 - YouTube

What I got out of that video is that the SFT40 seems to be a good compromise/balance between throw/flood. Also, the reviewer commented it heats up slowest among the few models he tested.

Probably a better option if I were to use it for walks, with the better spread of the light but still gives a good enough throw.

Thought I give an update… Didn’t get a Convoy till now… The 3x21a was OOS for a while…

Ended up getting a Sofirn Q8 Pro instead… Bright as hell(for my walks) and the hole which allows to screw on to my tripod was useful.

Improvised and tied a lanyard since there’s no means for attaching a standard one.

Doesn’t throw well… So it’s not perfect… But there’s no perfect light I suppose… that’s how we keep this hobby going… Lol

“Or wait for the new sbt90.2 light from Convoy, 81mm head and 26800 battery Steve”

Out of curiosity, was this new Convoy ever released, and if so, what’s the model name?

Thanks

ps-I’m surprised the L7 doesn’t get more love.

Liveinthelight, note that you are also in Singapore. (Is there any like-minded group of “Flashcoholics” in this Little Red Dot?)

I just got a Convoy 3x21a with 90.2 emitter. Bought it on Alibaba.com (the seller is : Dongguan Kangwoyi Electric Co). The price : US$63.20 + Shipping and processing fees of US$10.13. Ordered on 7 October, got it on 16 Oct. Good reliable tracking.

Hi, I tried joining 1-2 groups on Facebook, but they are not very active…

Among the general public, I think we’re still a minority… Lol… I was sharing with my colleagues during our regular Zoom meeting session abt my new light… They just gave me a look of disbelieve… Lol

After using the Q8 Pro for the last 2 weeks, 3 walks… I’ve to say it’s not exactly what I’m after… The 11000 lumens is really bright but it’s not exactly mind blowingly more than the 3000 lumens ones I’m having. And it gets hot really fast on turbo… And steps down quickly too.
It’s probably good as a camping light, where I don’t need to go at turbo all the time plus the tripod mount is useful to have it off my hands and pointing at places when I need to do stuff.

I was just out with my boys, night walk and shining at the large drain and spotted a stingray… naturally turn it on turbo to get a better look but as the water is murky, even at turbo, it doesn’t really work well… My eldest with a Klarus 3200 lumens flooder fair equally as bad… In the end, it was my younger 10yr old boy who was using the old Trunite Catapult V6 that saved the day… Lol…

Not exactly disappointed, since I knew what I was getting, but looks like I’ll be back getting a Convoy SBT90.2 or SFT40 3x21a as well…

There’s no end to this hobby huh… Lol…

Your post is the only mention of this flashlight on google, although the emitter shows up. Which flashlight were you referring to here, if you remember?

Hmm. I don’t know why search results are limited.

Here is just one thread on BLF from searching ‘b158b’ : Lightweight aspheric thrower

Searching the same on AE should yield a bunch of clones such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000332881348.html

Oh, the y was supposed to be an i, or vice-versa. I knew that name was familiar. Tyvm!

Whoops. My bad. I wonder how many times I’ve done that. Will fix the post
