I appreciate you suggesting some less expensive options not everybody can lay down big bucks on a light

Convoy is a great brand. Lots of options, fantastic quality and very low prices. The guy behind it is also a great enthusiast and very attentive to us costumers.

It always blows my mind how high quality Convoy's lights are for the money. They also allow you to basically customize your light anyway you want. Tons of different parts available, bezels, reflectors, lenses, illuminated switches, etc. You can also purchase any parts you need for spares. Really designed to last you a long time, and super easy to work on. By far my favorite flashlight brand.

I love my Convoys, solid and reliable, easy to use.

I have like 12 of them. My go-to brand every time.

I have a lot of flashlights and my best one is the sofirn SC33 5,200 lumens and it's always on sale on Amazon for just over 30 to 35 dollars. The light is really bright and has never failed me once . Thanks for the review I love a good budget light.

Solid recommendations... Might want to also address Simon's new website! Still a work in progress, but he's working his way away from being so dependent on AE...

That's so good for him! Though I hope he doesn't leave Ali completely, or I won't be able to buy fom him anymore 🥲

Got a S6 18350 sft40 in the mail and I can't wait. Simon is even better than Hank imo. His new site is getting better by the day, just recently he made an option to add batteries and change the product color.

I have the Convoy T2 (slow and fast PWM) and a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0. I love both. They can provide indoor usable light with such batteries, which you can't even expect that still have any usable charge.

Luckily the T3 is essentially the T2 in a different body, so it's every bit as good.

id choose the smaller one, with a clip. rolling flashlights are a nightmare in real life situations!

The faff of having to match batteries and needing protection has completely turned me off of multi-cell lights in general. I'm a single-cell fan all the way, so while I love Convoy I'm not interested on the T4. I'd only use it with Eneloops anyway. I have a T3 in 219B 3000K warm white, and while it's no powerhouse, it is lovely to use. Although comparing it with a 519A in 3000K also, the latter owes nothing to the 219B, so for the usual consumer I'd say go with the 519A, it's a wonderful high CRI performer in any color temperature.

Ohhh I see that D3AA... maybe an upcoming review in the future hmmmmmm?

D3AA review is on Ethan's own channel, LuxWad.

Hi! You mentioned that you can choose sst20 instead of nichia 519a for more throw, but it will also have less brightness. I thought that the nichia 519 had higher CRI and better tint in general (no greenish or yellowish like the SST20), but slightly less brightness and efficiency.

No, it's better than the SST20 in every way. What it loses in brightness and throw to is the SST40 and SFT40.

Just reviewing the S26A, summat not quite right with the 100% mode
