Wuben A21 and T70 - What’s the difference?

Hey there, first timer here. I’ve been looking at flashlights (forums, blogs, YouTube’s) for a while and am getting close to pulling the trigger on a light. I’m looking at the Wuben A21 and T70. Both have 4200 max lumens and both have other similarly impressive specs. But how do I pick between the two? I know they have different batteries. One has a clip. The price is close enough that I just want to get the one that’s better (for me that would probably mean better runtime in high and medium modes).

Just wondering if anyone knows much about them and their differences. Any recommendations between the two?

Thanks!

Tesla has chosen the 21700 as its battery and it’s now matching 26650 specs at a fraction of the size (21x70mm vs 26x65mm). Some people think that the 21700 battery will eventually replace the 18650 as the standard lithium battery. The 26650 battery size is probably obsolete and won’t be developed any further. They’re noticeably heavier, but fit in the hand and balance well.

The flashlights look rather similar. One could be newer and more refined. One of the important things is the UI and whether its straightforward. You want to look up the UI for that company and see if you will like it. Having good usable modes, like 5,30, 50, 100% is important for a versatile flashlight. Some people like a firefly mode.

I’m sorry that I’m not comparing the two flashlights. I don’t think there is a Wuben club here so you won’t get a good in depth answer. There are probably other comparable lights for less money. The go to 26650 xhp70.2 flashlight go to flashlight here is the Thrunite TC20. Its compact and has the best run times, but its not usb-c.

Just found your question about WUBEN T70 and A21. All difference I can gather as follows:

1. A21 is compatible with 18650 battery and comes with a tube to use 18650. While T70 only powered by 26650
2. The size is a bit different, A21 is 135.5mm*42mm， while T70 is 13.7mm*42mm
3. A21 is 12854cd, T70 is 15750cd
4. The weight is different too. A21 218g with battery, T70 is 261g with battery.
5. T70 has an extension tube to use 2pcs battery for doubling runtime, while A21 is not.
6. A21 has an eco mode of 5lm, while T70 is not.

A21 is running a groupbuy on BLF now. Groupbuy price: 99.84 USD in 20% OFF, code: WUBENA21
