Flashlight Comparison: Convoy M21F vs. M21H - which is best?

This is a video requested by one of my subscribers. Two very different flashlights with different beam profiles - but it's surprising how far the M21H can throw with the XHP70.3. If you're deciding whether you need a thrower or flooder, check out this video.

It would be more usefull if you’ve used the same emitter in both lights. This way is not complete

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah I was wondering whether to even do this video or not but it was requested by a viewer. So could only speak generally

[@michaelbowman7398]

I agree. As the 70.3 HI is an option in both. Interesting how the TIR affects the beam vs a reflector. The M21H also has other TIR options to change the beam

[@DarrenYeoYT]

@@michaelbowman7398 someone mentioned to me about a 10 degree TIR lens that creates a much thrower beam :D

[@michaelbowman7398]

@@DarrenYeoYT stock is a 12 degree. Simon offers several TIR, even a 3 degree

Been looking at these. I'm currently using a Nicron N72-UV. It's a brilliant little light with an adjustable head and two emitters, one for normal use and one for UV applications. I got the UV version because I travel, and I wanted to be able to make sure sheets were clean and no bed bugs when staying in motels, hotels and AirBnB.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Ah nice, with UV the 365nm LED works better than 395. Less visible light. Convoy makes various good quality lights, often at the cost of your lunch/dinner.

[@AlphaMachina]

@@DarrenYeoYT I'm looking at the MAO Convoy S2+ 519A right now. I like the design of it and that it uses 18650's. It's about half off right now.

[@andrewlevett4274]

Hi Darren, Is it possible to swap the reflectors between these two flashlights? I like the look of the M21H but prefer the beam with the M21H. If you swapped reflectors, would the beam be comparable? Thanks for the great reviews.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Hi Andrew, I check and and can't open up the heal of the M21H directly but I can see the lengths of reflector/lens in different so I don't think it will fit. The focusing of the lens is important. The bezel of the M21F is larger. TIR lenses are also used to reduce the length of the bezel / lightm

[@jaslr]

@DarrenYeoYT do you have any experience replacing the switch on either of these? I have the M21H and the rubber has dislodged and my attempt to push it back in caused the rubber to rip. Now I need a replacement switch, any tips?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Hi mate, no I don't but you can search on Simon's store for a replacement switch or just message him on the store: convoy.aliexpress.com/store/330416 Might have to unscrew the entire head assembly.

[@Pritam043]

Please review Wurkkos TS11S - it is updated version of TS11. Which penlight is better - Coast HP3R or Coast PM50R ?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Weird, looks exactly the same? I'll have a read to see what's different.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

I'm not sure about penlights sorry. I only own one.

[@Pritam043]

@@DarrenYeoYT Okay bro. Which thrower with magnetic tailcap would you suggest between Sofirn SC31 Pro and Wurkkos FC11 ?

[@AVG77]

Not a correct comparison, I have m21f with 70.3 hi and it has a good flood light.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Did I say it didn't have any flood? It definately does but also has surprisingly good throw.

[@DogFishAttack]

Hi, Do you believe that the Convoy M21H have the same performance as the AceBeam L35 XHP70.2 but at the half of money?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

They'd produce similar amounts of light. But the L35 would still throw an extra 100 or so metres. The M21H is excellent value...

[@DogFishAttack]

@@DarrenYeoYT Its any noticeable difference between XHP70.3 HI R70, XHP70.3 HI R9050 and GT FC40?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

@@DogFishAttack I have no experience with the FC40 but the R70 version of the 70.3HI will produce significantly more lumens.

[@DogFishAttack]

@@DarrenYeoYT Thanks a lot!

[@polymathematics5837]

​​@@DogFishAttackThe GT FC40 will output significantly less light than the XHP70.3 R70, visually about 40 to 50% less output.
