Hello Joseph! I suggest twenty-one of your most loyal subscribers assemble ourselves together to offer you a twenty-one gun salute for biting the $447 bullet, just so you could demo this torch for us. I must admit, this flashlight does have the best zoom beam profile I've seen to date. Perhaps after this purchase, consider buying your wife a necklace and taking her out for a nice dinner. Then take the kids out to Chucky Cheese for a pizza and take a trip to the zoo for the weekend so nobody is feeling too neglected.😊😊😊

Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment and kind words 🙏 Blessings 🙏 I mainly shoot with my Samsung s22 ultra but sometimes I use iPhone 12 pro max or Samsung note 10 plus.
@@smotheredchrome Thanks for answering man! I have a Samsung S22 Ultra too, but I tried to rec with it and i didnt get a good quality about angle... I will keep trying...
Really cool light to add to your collection, congrats I hope you enjoy it. I remember coming across this light a while back on the sky lumen channel and I thought it was cool enough to buy but I was in shock when I seen the price. If I was an avid collector like yourself I could justify the price, as an enthusiast it was tempting but I personally felt it would have to be at least half that price for me to actually purchase it. This is the coolest tech I've seen in a flashlight and it is easily the best solution for a zoomy, hopefully we see more and cheaper options with this tech in the future.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment and kind words 🙏 Blessings 🙏 I honestly believe half the price would be fair IMHO, but not sure how much technology is in this lens to charge $450 but overall it is my best zoomie and that's what I was looking for, appreciate you my friend 👍
Beautiful light brother I know how you feel about the price. You get what you pay for. I just pulled the trigger on the Manker MK 35 ll $259. it throws 2000 m. I also spent on my.Nitecore TM 39 90.2 /5200 lm a nice penny . enjoy I know you will.💪🔦
That is one expensive zooooomie! I hope you have lots of fun with it. Would be fun to take it apart and see how it works - but not yours! I could not ask someone to actually do that with a flashlight at this price level! I do appreciate you sharing this zoomie beast!
Thank you Patrick I appreciate your comment and support and kind words my friend 🙏 Blessings 🙏 I believe all the technology is in the lens, I'm still researching this light and there is not much info for being out for a couple years but understand why.
I could appreciate the design and it is compact though. A charge port would be useful. Pity, could also see some artifacts in the beam profile. That alone would not justify its asking price IMO. Maybe in the future as the tech matures, might be competitively priced. Cheers for the review 👍😋
Really dope light, your collection seems to be growing extremely fast. I absolutely recommend trying out some more Emisar and Noctigon lights if you like the ones you already have
As others said, the price is too high. But this light has one supreme selling point, the zoom quality. No ugly square spot, perfect flood, good distance spot. Only those artifact rings on throw are not very welcome. But its the first zoomy that passes the test. Thanks for reviewing!!
The LED Lenser brand has very nice zoomies though. They use a patented TIR optic which is why most focus to a square. The Yinding round LED sorts out the square though.
It does look like it's really versatile light and I really like how big and intense the hot spot is. All the zooming type lights I've had always end up having a square hot spot which I don't care for so I gave up on zoom lights. Most zooming lights remind me of multitools, they can do multiple things but aren't very good at any of them. Your new light on the other hand looks very capable at everything it does. Sometimes you just have pay a lot for the latest new thing and there's nothing wrong with that imo. If I could afford it I'd like to have one of those giant spotlights with the mounted fans. I can't think of a legitimate reason I need one and there's nothing practical about them but I might buy one someday nevertheless. And if I do I can already hear my friends telling me all the things they would've bought instead. A lot of girlfriends and wives are even worse so you need to think of as many good reasons for needing it as possible. Or you can just buy them some useless thing like they like to blow money on. The first way is cheaper but the second way is easier. LOL I can think of multiple good reasons to own the light you bought so I think you made a good investment imo.
It’s very cool but I don’t like the double ring it shines, Im a surefire guy and cloud defensive but those are for a whole another thing. Anyways thank you Sir great review.
$449 for a flashlight is kinda steep!! I bet more and more light manufacturers will come out with their own and prices will go down. I'll wait til Convoy has 1.
I subscribed because of this video 👍 I've watched a few of your flashlight video's and they are pretty good, well done🤙 I'm hoping for a zoomable lep flashlight to hit the market, I've only ever seen 1 zoomable lep flashlight around it was on someone's UA-cam channel and not available for sale anymore, it was in his collection to keep and it did a pretty good job outside in one of his video's.
Thank you Ross I appreciate your comment my friend 🙏 I recall a zoomie lep I just can't remember where I seen it, it's probably the one you are talking about.
@@smotheredchrome probably was😁 have a good day man👍 ill be back in the future 4sure. i even watched yr toolbox tour 👍 that was something pretty special alright quality stuff.. kickarse stuff actually!
@@smotheredchrome cool no worries at all👍your pliers draw with those pliers holders really sparked my interest on how to store them neatly and be able to see each one, i have a pliers draw at the top of one of my toolbox's that is overflowing with about 60 mostly good quality pliers and i can't close the lid the pile that big it's a real shitshow to see anything in there, i go off memory of what's in there. Im going to googling for pliers storage like what you got to see whats out there! Cheers🤙👍👊
I have to Doordash to save up for the $500 titanium. This lights can pop balloons at a distance if you adjust the focus right. Also more pocketable than the Crown
Convoy C8 for 18650 light, pretty small too considering the performance, however no USB charging, need to remove battery and charge separately My Thrunite Catapult pro gets more use personally. It's a 21700 light with USB charging. Bigger, and more $$ but I've beaten the crap out of it and it keeps ticking
@@engineren8023 I've got an Acebeam K75 and I honestly never use it. For anything I would need a thrower for, my catapult does the job. I think the best light is the one you use, and I just don't want to carry the k75 with me. It's to expensive for me to want to leave in my truck, so it stays home. I've got a C8 that I take with me when I need something smaller (6500k osram). Its great, throw distance of about 850m (2700 ft) Big numbers are nice, but unless you plan on using binoculars alongside some of these lights you don't need that much throw. Is size something that is a concern? Do you have other lights and want to match cells? What is your desired runtime? I think it would be hard for me to recommend a light without knowing your individual reasons. There are so many options out there for every budget that it's almost impossible to say "Get light" Think about your L21. What about that light do you like and dislike? Use what you currently have as a starting point to explore other options. If you want something usable think about what you need. If you want something to show off, Google top throw flashlights and just start buying the list
Very Nice👍
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Amazing man. I wonder how it works, does it move a diffuser in front of the beam?
It has an electrochromic glass lens.
@@lumntoob999 true! that's cool as!
No diffuser that I can see, all the technology is in the lens.
