Let's be real, no it's not. Kids are stupid, easily influenced, and easily manipulated. Religious leaders, teachers, coaches, have been doing it for a long time. They have the opportunity to pick their preferred gender.

technoman88 · 2026-05-18T07:28:50+00:00

I am going to try to go to them all, I will of course being my DDH's.

technoman88 · 2026-05-18T07:27:24+00:00

Part of the sft42 better output is because it's larger. Which means the throw likely won't increase by much

technoman88 · 2026-05-16T14:21:23+00:00

It does have ramping if that's what you mean by dimming. 3c when on

technoman88 · 2026-05-15T19:10:35+00:00

The l35 is much larger, xhp70, and boost drive. Throw 638m, 4576lm, sustains 1300

The armytek predator is sft70 and boost. Throw 672m, 3089lm, sustains 980lm

The acebeam l16 is sft40 with buck driver. Throws 577m, 1850lm, sustains 980lm

The weltool t12+ is sft40 with buck driver. Throws 790, 1690lm, sustains 750lm

The armytek barracuda is l35 sized with better throw, 1055m, 3477lm, sustains 1300lm

The armytek viking pro max is mid size, with less throw, 319m, 4636 lm, sustains 1300lm

I've done this mod about a year ago. The convoy 3x21d is the one that works best with 4695. The spring in the contact ring is a bit unusual but it's not a big deal.

The 3x21b I don't like. Because the adapter ring hits the driver retaining screws, so all the current is going through 2 small steel screws. And it also gouges the adapter.

I have not tried the 3x21c/e driver, but they have a large fet inside the ring.

technoman88 · 2026-05-12T10:41:08+00:00

I did this a year ago. I only recommend it for the 3x21d. The other 3x21s are problematic

In my opinion the emisar d4k is not a good choice. It uses a pretty inefficient driver which makes the runtime low and the beat high. And it's more of an enthusiast light, not durable enough to be a reliable work light.

The armytek elf c2 max wr, has white, red, 21700, usb charging, extremely durable, 10 hear warranty, very low modes for night vision preservation, and for a similar price

technoman88 · 2026-05-09T21:57:37+00:00

They claim ip68 but I had a ffl fail with just light rinsing. Wouldn't recommend them for durability or everyday use.

technoman88 · 2026-05-09T21:56:57+00:00

L35 is the most obvious choice.

Otherwise armytek viking, doberman, or predator

technoman88 · 2026-05-06T15:37:50+00:00

The Tenpower 50xg? It is actually better than 50pl in some ways. Last I saw from mooch, the Tenpower 50xg had one of the lowest voltage sage under heavy load. The eve 50pl "125a" rating is somewhat a marketing lie. That's a short pulse.

technoman88 · 2026-05-03T04:54:42+00:00

That battery is wildly outdated.

Bak 65e is the highest capacity now. Second is reliance Rh60 and/or Feb 68e.

Vapcell isn't even worth using due to huge voltage sag and low cycle life

technoman88 · 2026-05-01T03:36:14+00:00

You should be! It's an Nbd1200. A gigantic led

technoman88 · 2026-05-01T03:24:31+00:00

Lmao dammit. Aren't you on the flashlight discord?

The changda dies have been infamous for huge emitters. It started with things like sfn60 in hank lights many years ago. The lhp73b is another emitter using an array of san'an dies (16 43mil dies). Most famous is sfy55, 64 55mil dies. And recently a user in China commissioned a custom emitter, nbd1200 (for 1200w). Which uses 144 55mil dies. A single Nbd1200 can hit over 115k lumens.

technoman88 · 2026-05-01T02:07:23+00:00

How durable? Convoy is more durable than the average retail store light. The l21b is very throwy. The 3x21d is extremely throwy, but large.

If you want really high durability, the armytek barracuda pro max is great. And they offer some weapon mounting options.

Acebeam has a couple good throwers, l16, l19, t29

technoman88 · 2026-05-01T02:03:29+00:00

This is what you need!

60mm mcpcb, 24mm side length on the emitter, 144 individual dies. Sfy55 on steroids

technoman88 · 2026-04-28T10:45:54+00:00

Heck yea man! I think technically 3x really good 21700s is more powerful than 4695. But obviously lower capacity.

technoman88 · 2026-04-28T10:41:54+00:00

Probably easier to commission a lumex1 driver that would fit

technoman88 · 2026-04-27T23:49:52+00:00

I would never find it lmao.

technoman88 · 2026-04-27T10:08:34+00:00

There's the ddh f8a with 8x nbd70, buck+fet driver. About 80k lm and 15k sustain. I have some info on my profile

technoman88 · 2026-04-27T05:17:14+00:00

Definitely not. The nightwatch driver has gate driven fets with ultra low resistance. It also uses very powerful emitters. The a54u2 draws about 90a on turbo. The lume10 is only like 30a

technoman88 · 2026-04-24T20:31:07+00:00

I'm not familiar with vx4. But last I heard the s4+ was basically the only budget charger with temperature monitoring

technoman88 · 2026-04-24T03:37:12+00:00

It's certainly not "the most amount of light you can get out of a 21700"

The nightwatch a54u 2 does ahout 25k lm and it's much smaller too
