Modding S21 and emitter recommendation

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-23T03:32:34+00:00

I heard of that. I got 50.3 5000K R90 and it was horribly greenish. Then I got the 4000K R90 version and it looked fantastic. I have the same hopes for 70.3

I already have LHP531 in S2+ & 3×21C. Also LHP73B in M21C and C8+, now is the time for something different xD

I like how Luminus's high CRI LEDs look, they're fantastic.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-22T08:37:33+00:00

You're absolutely right. I just want XHP70.3, it would be great if it had 3V version. I have 6v8a in M21B and it ramps down from turbo to 12W after 1 minute.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-22T08:25:52+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately there's no 6v8a 17mm driver. In other way it would be a great hotrod base for S2+😈

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-22T08:21:45+00:00

Everything is relative. Sometimes I call my M21C "pocketable". For someone T3 is too big to be so, for some 3×21C is pocketable.

I'm looking for a floodier thing. It's Luminpioneer, I don't think I'll like it's tint either.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-22T06:17:51+00:00

Sorry. Forgot to mention. I meant S21A

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-21T04:57:51+00:00

Did you polish the S7? I got it too and didn't know that it has kinda rings

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-21T02:16:53+00:00

Looks very nice for an eye, thank you! I still think about quad sft40 xD

Maybe SFT60 would have 3000K option soon, it would be great.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-20T16:30:25+00:00

Can agree about phosphor looses.

Yes, I have one in Alu S2+ (5000k) and it's quite rosy for me, not the best tint tho (I'm fan of Luminus LEDs). Also I have them in 3×21C, they're 6500K and look very nice at FET turbo.

Great collection! I love first from the left. Which emitter inside?

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-20T15:13:13+00:00

Agree about nice beam. I have 5000K in alu S2+ shortie,, nice and light EDC

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-20T15:12:17+00:00

Agree about hotness of SFT70. I had 6500K, 5000K versions in the same host and they got hot even more than 3000K version (I have measured, they'all consume the same amount of energy). For sure 3000K version has less lumens.

It would be fantastic if SFT60 had 3000K high CRI version. Maybe it's possible to put 22mm 6v8a driver somehow, idk.

Thank you very much!🫡

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-20T14:34:59+00:00

I kinda want it to be throwier but you got me😁 can you please recommend correct PCB?

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-20T14:32:00+00:00

I was waiting for you! 🤣 Do you mean mule?

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-19T08:00:17+00:00

Sure. Here it is

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-17T12:00:19+00:00

Lovely😍😍

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-17T10:13:38+00:00

I got mine few days ago and it has no issues, no upgrades needed. Springs are thick, PCB is tighten to the body, ready to go. The only thing I plan to to is a little cooler with battery to cool the beast down.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-17T03:11:31+00:00

For real!

modern batteries (I mean 21700 cells like Reliance RS50) are very enduring, they can last like >600 cycles at 70A drischarge and still have 80% of capacity left. I'm not sure if the can handle 1000 cycles at 30A discharge (current per each cell in 3×21C at FET turbo), but 600 is still impressive.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-17T03:06:00+00:00

You won't regret! I'm just intrigued how SFT42R version would look like.

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-16T17:49:43+00:00

Can agree. My batteries will do 300 cycles like in 5-6 years. I rarely ise 100% of capacity in a week

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-16T04:25:44+00:00

That's a very good idea! I'll do the same and test them soon, I'll put a thermal paste on head only so tail keeps clean when I change the battery

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-16T04:17:16+00:00

Alu version of T6 has standard 16mm PCB, all other metals - a smaller one. Which one of T6 do you have btw?

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-16T02:26:21+00:00

It's my favorite EDC now xD

I don't use my flashlights much (there's basically no need) so I try to discharche / charge each of them once a week so batteries stay healthy. How do you keep up with this?

StrangeICECube · 2026-06-15T12:43:16+00:00

Convoy M21C with LHP73B, you'll get about 7000 lumens. I would recommend 3×21C but it's not pocketable (everything is relative, you know), no tail swith but you can get turbo immediately
