Ich stöbere gern bei Kleinanzeigen, weil man da so manches Schnäppchen machen kann. Bin heute auf diese hier gestoßen, aber die finde ich nicht online. Oder ist das Fake?

Thought of posting this since u/Technical_Feedback74 needed some light recommendations to spot coyotes. Coyote packs run amok in the wooded areas close to my home. In my experience, red is better to spot them in terms of stealth but blinding white light (candela>lumens) always gets their attention. Convoy M21a with sft25r is what's being used here. They're atleast about 100m out.

Here you go u/njbillk1

I asked the community a couple weekends ago for some driver recs for my first Convoy order and here's the beans. I am really impressed with the S21E. It's not that big and puts out impressive light. I'll be adding a few more of them for the cars. The C8+ is probably my second favorite because of the size. The other two toss some impressive light, with the L21A being more of a party light or something and the M21K being more floody. For reference, the chicken coupe is about 50 yrds and the tree is around 100 yrds. I am going to need to add some lights once I stop blowing money on other hobbies 😂

New release.

When updating, make sure the model number matches before flashing, and be sure to erase the eeprom (or do a factory reset after flashing).

This release is mostly just new models and hardware-specific fixes. Also some internal build system stuff. If your models aren't on the list, there is no need to update.

New lights:

• Added &hank-lume-x1-32w (0282). Same as hank-lume-x1, but limited to 70% power.

• Added &hank-lume-x1-c-32w (0284). Same as hank-lume-x1-c, but limited to 70% power.

• Added &fireflies-lume10 (0453). Includes aw2016 chip for dimmable RGB aux, plus powerbank host mode, and single-level DD FET turbo.

• Added &fireflies-lume1-6af-nofet (0452). Same as lume1-6af, but without the single-level DD FET turbo. Some models use this, and it can be kind of nice even on lights which have the FET installed.

Hardware-specific changes:

• Added breathing modes to lights with a aw2016 chip (lume-x1-c, lume10). Works in standby modes. Options include "breathing", "fast breathing", and for the degenerates out there (you know who you are), there is also "heavy breathing".

  These are Off -> 7C patterns, so they can be combined with Off -> 7H colors like red, blue, rainbow, voltage, etc. Note that "disco breathing" is a little glitchy, but harmless.

• Fixed battery measurement on &lumintop-fw3x-lume1. It broke when I did the voltage rewrite.

• &hank-lume-x1 and &hank-lume-x1-c have a higher default smooth ramp floor, at Hank's request. Users will need to lower it if they want firefly modes.

• Fixed glitchy party strobe on &fireflies-lume1-6af.

General:

• Documentation: Clarified what a "0" means in the aux low/high ramp level config.

Build / dev tools:

• Updated Atmel DFP / Microchip DFP versions to the most recent releases which actually work. Tested every release to figure out what's good.

• Added DFP environment var, to keep things consistent when working with multiple worktrees. export ANDURIL_DFP_PATH="$HOME/src/anduril/arch/dfp"

• Added explicit erase flag to avrdude commands, to reduce cases of users retaining old eeprom after flashing new firmware.

Make sure to erase the eeprom while flashing. And if the light doesn't work after flashing, try doing a factory reset. Some flashing programs apparently don't erase the eeprom, so a manual factory reset may be required. The most reliable method for this is "loosen tailcap, hold button, tighten tailcap, keep holding until the animation finishes (about 4-5 seconds)". Or if a tailcap reset is physically not possible, and an eeprom erase isn't an option either, "Off -> 13H" may still work.

NEBO really isn't that great. I mean the old one the side piece ripped out before I ever could use it. I had to make my own button for it. Then I get a new one and the glass on the laser isn't even there. You can tell where its supposed to sit. I didn't buy these, they were given to me at my job.

New one on the left, old on right.

Very nice.

Hey peeps, I have an ArmyTek Wizard C2 Pro warm whose on-off / mode selection button has been mangled. I think I have found a button that is a direct replacement due to dimension, construction, and connection styles being from what I can tell identical.

If this replacement button checks out I am going to order it and allow an electronics repair store to replace the button since I don't have the tooling required for this job.

Also do any of you have a resource for ~11.5mm tophat style button caps, I've lost the original to this flashlight.

Here's the replacement button make and model.

Hey guys, I finally decided that I would get the Wurkkos DL40. Coming from a lot of hobbies, including RC cars, I learned that you should never leave batteries inside the vehicle. I learned that this is the same with certain flashlights. I asked Google about this and it said that I should just unscrew the cap a bit and I'm good. Is this alright already or should I completely remove the batteries to be safe?? And would leaving the batteries for a day or two hurt??? Thanks.

Got the Olight Oclip Pro S sunken artifact edition the design and color is absolutely beautiful

Going to order an m21 for the nv1010 craze. Few questions i have.

1.What did we decide is the better host and reflector in Simon's ready to options?

1. What does the m21k beam do vs the other options?

2. What IS the best battery on his list now? Have been getting eve 50pl. Noticed there is tons of 6000 and 6500 mah that do 70a plus like ampirius 60q.

Im a floody guy. I usually get my emitters in 5000k. Never owned a tir.

Can someone ID this light for me? The only lead I have is that it may be tacstar. It’s depicted in the tactical marksman book from 1996

Are there any long term Nicron users here? Their flashlights are pretty affordable, but I haven't seen many posts about the brand here, so Im unsure about their reliability.

Both lights are same weight but HM55R has wider strap and the brighter turbo mode for an extra $20.

On the other hand, the HL18R looks like a good all-around light, with a warmer flood and AAA battery option.

Has anyone tried both these and can help push one way or the other?

A bit disappointing

Hey all,

Looking for a headlight with following features:

• IP68
• Works with unprotected batteries, no proprietary stuff (looking at you Olight)
• Decently bright, 1600+ lumen
• Has a red light mode that is also bright
• Magnetic charging

Nice to have:

• Battery level indication of some sort - # of flashes / dedicated led / segmented led
• Reasonably long warranty

The lights i looked at so far were:

Olight Perun 3 - seems to tick most of the boxes except needing their proprietary battery, which seems to fail quite often, at least according to the reviews on their website and Amazon.

Nitecore HC70 - red seemed weak and usb-c charging, not magnetic.

Fenix HM60R - again, not magnetic.

Thanks for your tips!

I’m thinking Wurkkos TD01, convoy m21e, or maybe a dm11. We have a group of very healthy coyotes in my neighbourhood and they grabbed a cat last night. I usually walk with a 2700k light that’s low key but it didn’t cut it to look into the field. I realized I don’t have any throwy lights anymore. My dog is pretty small so I want to be able to look around. I have a few ts22 and a d4v2 that I will try tonight but from what I remember they are pretty floody.

I think this is the group that I was reading a few years ago about flashlights unless there are SubReddits I don’t know about!? Anyhow I’m an independent Contractor and as I age it’s harder to see at night. I have had 2 torches/flashlights that lasted for several years now but not long enough. Both are broken now 🥹 They were both purchased on Temu I believe by two random people. I always carried them on a lanyard. So in the meantime, I need to purchase a new torch/flashlight that has high lumens and strong visibility to be able to see numbers on houses, etc. when I deliver at night. Although now my biggest concern is I’m like a lot of of us with financial stress stresses so I can’t really afford anything above $30 preferably wanting to spend under $50, so help me out what would be a good purchase!? Are lumens even the most important factor… I know stability would be a good thing because flashlights should not break if they drop once or twice.

Hola buenas que opinión tienen del s21e con el sft42r?

Ready for astronomy, looking into the darkness here on Earth and beyond into the large Universe. Convoy S2+, SST-20-DR, 45 degree TIR lens. Had to get the white MAO coating to contrast with the red.

Hello everyone! I’ll be going on a business trip to Shanghai in a couple of days, and I was wondering if there are any good places to check out for flashlights in case I have some free time. Or is Shanghai not the best city for that?

I was really inpressed with this little flashlight. It is brighter than I expected and has a pretty good hotspot. I'll probably buy another one of these, there handy and fit in the palm of your hand.

Amazon de link, I am sure you will be able to find this brand or very close bags to it.

Originally intended for camera gear, it fits the BP4 with the plastic cover plate very very well. Got two of them and the quality is also very nice. Certainly enough for the cell packs and better than just having them crash into each other and other things in your backpack.

Hi all,

I really like my Sofirn HS21. In fact, I like it so much that I often prefer using it as a handheld flashlight over some of my other lights, such as the Acebeam L35 and E75.

However, the HS21 is still a headlamp, not a dedicated handheld flashlight. I'd also prefer something a little larger that can accommodate a 21700 battery.

So, here's what I'm looking for: a dual-channel flashlight with separate flood and spot LEDs, ideally with the same LED combination as the HS21:

- Flood: CSP1919 LEDs

- Spot: Luminus SFT-40

- Both channels independently controllable and usable simultaneously

- A conventional, straight flashlight body (no right-angle or folding head)

- Ideally, a single 21700 battery

- sustained lumen minimum 100

- not too big like the wurkos TS32. Size should be similar to Acebeam l35 oder E75.

The closest option I've found so far is the Wurkkos HD11, but I'm not a fan of its 90-degree folding head.

Does anything like this exist on the market? I'd also appreciate suggestions for other lights with a similar flood/spot setup, even if they use different LEDs.

Thanks!.

This is the Convoy T9 a 2x 14500/AA flashlight with the LMP W5050SQ5 4000K LED, full aluminum body, featuring a Buck regulated constant current driver and more!

• Where to get it and Price

The Convoy T9 Tan with W5050SQ5 is currently priced at $22.04 on Convoy Official Website.

• My opinion

The T9 is like a throwy version of the T4, with a 3V 6A Buck driver and a bigger reflector to increase throw, the 2x 14500/AA design makes this flashlight very versatile and brighter with AAs than single battery designs, in addition to have longer runtimes. The W5050SQ5 LED in 4000K surprised me, it's very powerful, much like a SFT40, but with a much better rosy tint.

Some things I disliked about this flashlight were the abscence of a proper moonlight mode, the 1% mode is too bright, even when using AAs, probably more than 10 Lumens; for some reason, when using AAs on the 1% it has a strange slightly noticeable flickering, I'm not sure if this is a problem with my unit or across all units; also, it doesn't feature reverse polarity protection.

• Box contents [7th picture]

- T9

- Lanyard

• Body and build quality

Packaging: This flashlight comes in a pretty simple cardboard box, the flashlight and Lanyard are wrapped inside with bubble wrap.

Anodizing Colors/Material Options: The T9 is currently only available in Aluminum alloy with 4 anodozing colors: Black, Tan (featured on this review), Dark Green and Orange.

Main body/Grip/Size: The tail, battery tube and head all have knurling to improve grip, the grip is good, even when wet. The head also has grooves for heat dissipation. It's slightly bigger than the Convoy T4, with a bigger reflector - the T8 reflector - and head, increasing throw.

Material: The entire main body is made of an aluminum alloy - most probably 6061-T6.

Threads: All threads are trapezoidal, only the tail cap and bezel threads are anodized. The driver part of the battery tube threads aren't anodized, and they're pretty long.

Clip: The flashlight doesn't come with a clip. A stainless steel screw-in clip is available to be bought on Convoy website.

Tail stand and rolling: The flashlight rolls a lot, it has some edges that slightly slow down the rolling, but still rolls a lot. It can head/tail stand, though tail stand is not much stable.

Magnet: No magnet by default on this flashlight.

AUX lights: No AUX lights are present on this flashlight.

Buttons: This flashlight has a reverse click mechanical tail switch covered by a black silicone boot, this means that giving a half click while the flashlight is OFF will do nothing, but when it's ON it will cycle between brightness levels, SOS, battery check and other depending on the selected mode.

Battery contact: Contact is made with the battery by a gold-plated button contact on the driver and a phosphor-bronze gold-plated spring on the tail cap. I usually prefer springs on both ends to reduce the impact on the battery when the flashlight is dropped, but this button contact seems large enough to not dent the battery easily. [8th picture]

Bezel: It has a aluminum crenelated bezel with 6 trapezoidal shapes on it, it would be nice to see a stainless steel bezel on this flashlight instead of an aluminum one.

Water Resistance: Convoy flashlights usually don't have the IP rating, but all Convoy flashlights I already tested were decently protected to water ingress; The T9 follows the same pattern, it's probably better sealed than some IP68 flashlights I own. I belive the T6 to be at least IP67 with all threads greased and fully tightened - if not IP68, as all water ingress points have o-rings.

Size comparison: From left to right:
Convoy T4 Brass (2x14500) - Convoy T9 (2x14500) - Convoy T6 TiCu (14500) [9th picture]

• Weight and size

Weight:

- With battery (2x Vapcell K10): 131.5g

- Without battery: 91.8g

- Battery (Vapcell K10): 1x = 20.0g, 2x = 40.0g

Size: 162.6mm x 32.0mm x 21.0mm - (height x head diamter x tail diameter)

• Battery, runtime, and charging

Battery: The T9 is powered by 2x14500 Li-ion cells or 2xAA (Alkalines, NiMH...) batteries, as it has the dual fuel feature. This makes this flashlight very versatile, and more powerful using AAs than most single AA designs. I recommend at least 4A CDR for best performance. [10th picture]

Battery Indicator: It does not feature a color battery indicator, but a "battery check" mode is featured on some mode group configurations on the UI.

Powerbank/Reverse charging: No powerbank featured on this flashlight.

Charging: This flashlight doesn't feature charging on body, so you have to rely on battery chargers or batteries with USB-C charging (Li-ion).

• Modes, Runtimes, Throw, Candela

Modes: The T9 has the 12 groups driver, it comes pre-configured on group 1, which has 1%, 10%, 30% and 100% brightness levels. Other brightness levels - like 20%, 35%, 50% and blinkies - are available on the other brightness groups that can be configured on the flashlight UI.

Measurements:

Turbo: The 100% is essentially Turbo, the official information from Convoy says the maximum current is 6A at 3V for this driver. It's pretty bright, and powerful, at the rated power it should reach about 1500 Lumens.

Moonlight: This flashlight, sadly, doesn't feature a good moonlight mode, the 1% mode is too bright. The only way to make it a little dimmer is to use AAs, it's still a bit bright, but a little better than with 14500.

Blinkies: Tactical Strobe, SOS and battery check are featured on some group modes.

Lockout: This light only features mechanical lockout by unscrewing the tail cap a little. The mechanical button is the "lockout" of this flashlight.

Throw: There is no official advertised throw, but by the ratings I got were pretty good, around 300m for ANSI NEMA FL1 throw.

• Emitter, reflector and CRI

Emitter: This T9 has the LMP W5050SQ5 LED in 4000K, the emitter is pretty throwy, very similar to the SFT40 in shape and beam. The 4000K variant has a pretty rosy tint, being very pleasant and not greenish. The LED is very efficient and offers a pretty good tint, only lacks in CRI. [11th and 12th picture]

Lens: It features AR-coated glass lens that protect the reflector and LED.

Reflector/TIR: A smooth reflector with 26.5mm of diameter and 23mm of height.

Beam profile: The beam has a pretty clean spill with not much noticeable artifacts, and a focused strong hotspot that throws far, with a slightly smooth transition. [13th picture]

PWM: I didn't get any PWM on any tested mode of the T9 (1%, 10%, 30% and 100%), seems to be totally free of PWM, also, this supports to it having a Buck driver. **The 1% mode with AAs has slightly visible flickering, I am not sure if it's a problem with my unit or a general problem with the driver.

CRI-CCT-DUV: The CRI is pretty standard, I measured around 75 CRI, with very low R9, around negative to 7 R9; CCT was pretty close, getting around 3860K on the lowest mode and increasing to a maximum of 4400K on the highest; Duv is rosy, below BBL, scoring -0.0027 on Level 1, -0.0053 on Level 2 and increasing it slightly on higher modes. (The readings pictures are from Level 2) [14th to 16 picture]

• Driver and UI

Driver: The T9 features a Buck driver that delivers 3V 6A to the LED,

UI: The T9 uses the standard Convoy tail switch UI.

Low Voltage Protection/Warning: The main light will start blinking and dimming down when the battery voltage is low, until the light automatically turns OFF when the battery voltage is too low - only works with 14500s, AAs don't have this protection, as they are disposable.

Reverse Polarity Protection: NO reverse polarity protection. Be careful when inserting batteries.

Temperature Control: The T9 has standard Convoy Temperature control, so when the driver reaches about 55°C the flashlight will begin to step down. The step down seems to only be down to 30%, so the flashlight can still heat up, even after the step down, under certain conditions.

Thank you for reading my review <3
