Wurkkos TS22 XHP 70.2 vs Convoy M21b GT FC40 beam profiles

[@larrydunn4626]

that M21b/GT-FC40 made the trees look so much more real... though generally I prefer flooders to throwers.

[@stephendavis8901]

The gt fc40 is a powerful high cri emitter that combines flood and throw.

The M21B with the FC40 is the only flashlight with a noticeable donut hole and fried-egg effect that _doesn't_ bother me. It's a great LED.

[@stephendavis8901]

I have not noticed the donut hole or fried egg. I agree that it is a great led as it is very bright, throws well, and has good color rendering.

@@stephendavis8901 No? Interesting. My M21B has an FC40 4500K, and there's a _significant_ tint shift between the center of the beam and the lateral spill. The center is much warmer, like 3800K vs. almost 5000K of the spill. That and the center is not the brightest part; rather, it's the corona around it. Even the untrained eye can see it, and it doesn't have to be against a white wall at all. It's still a really good light with a really nice illumination factor, mind. I use it constantly, probably the most of all my torches.

@@DinnerForkTongue Tonite I am going to take it outside and pay closer attention to the beam and try to see what you see.

@@stephendavis8901 Let me know of your findings!

@@DinnerForkTongue I will!

Very good !!! What do you like better?👍

[@stephendavis8901]

Thank you! I like the M21b better for it's tint and good combination of throw and flood. But the ts22 has some serious brightness and flood. I do wish it had more throw. So it looks like the M21b is better for me.

The XHP70 has a nice flood pattern, BUT I cna see more details with the GT FC40, probably due to the higher CRI. I have this GT FC40 emitter in a couple of Convoy M21x lights and love both the 4500K & 5000K CCT's. I actually prefer it over the Nichia 519a.

[@stephendavis8901]

I also really like the combination of high lumens and high cri of the gt fc40 but the xhp70.2 has better efficiency and does not get as hot as the gt fc40 or the 519a. There are so many great choices.
