Mine will be here tomorrow finally! I have my Samsung cells charged and waiting. Only two weeks from Banggood this time. Great video FLASHAHOLIC, thank you. Ordering the EC03 in 5700K tomorrow!
Love your editing! It's a flashlight review and a short adventure at the end!
I agree, this light has my favorite beam profile of any of my lights.
Excellent review, filming, editing and music as always.
I like how you disappear after you’ve walked down the ‘Vanhalla’ field.
I’m still happy with my Astrolux EC03.
5700k EC03 should be epic
FLASHAHOLICS
I haven’t thanked you yet for the discount code so: Thank you!
i have it, its insane on turbo even if its so short and heats up like crazy.
Love your video!! reminds me of evilwithin and resident evil
These are really 1 second wow factor lights. However, I suppose you could program them to be usable. Step down the Imalent to run in 3000lm mode, and it might only scald your hand, instead of burning your house down when you drop it from being scalded. :) Thanks for bringing this to us, great video, and an informative comparison!
3:06 finally, the angelic face reveal I was waiting for
Thanks for another great review, really enjoyed it.
Do you plan to review the FW21 X9L (SBT-90.2) also? Would be great.
I'll probably not buy one but I'll be over the moon if i get one for review
@Mr Green with SST40?
First off, I love your videos and reviews and very often buy lights as a direct result of your review, and the info they provide. Second, I'm 2:45 in to the video and even though I've owned this light for a couple weeks already, I learned something VALUABLE- one can read all the battery reviews and charts by all the experts but it still doesn't account for real world numbers, I opted for p42a's for my fw21 pro and X9L over 30t and 40t never realizing there would be that much of a difference. VERY GOOD to know, thank you! Obviously there's benefits to each of these batteries but still, good to know about otf lumen differences
Oh, and the quality of your videos is great and always getting better which is great to see. I like the new Vanhalla shots, walking out with the light shows the beam spread nicely. And the fade of you at the end of the walk is next level! Really cool!
Apparently though when the voltage drops the P42A takes over.

Would have been cool if you had the X1L version for throw while that helo was around XD
Between astrolux ec03 or fw21 which would i choose 🤔
Could you test how much lower the lumens are with a Protected smaller 18650 with Spacer Adapter?
Hey bub I brought the EC03 and it's a beast, this Lumintop is having a hard time trying to whip that EC03
I think the FW21 just edges it for me.
10:05 while showing the different frames, i can't help but notice warmer white doesn't light up the sky as much, the sun appears yellow in the sky because the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered in the sky leaving the sun "yellow"
This means warm white should throw farther than it's cool white counterpart and indeed at 10:05 there is far less scattering of light...
Throwers of different colour temperatures would be very interesting!
Anyway, keep up the fantastic videos! Cheers
I've definitely noticed in misty conditions warmer lights throw far better than cool, it's definitely true what they say.
Best balance between flood and throw and price is Astrolux EC03 💪
People are blown away when i turn it on at nite time
Ok, but its a bit big for a EDC. Im i right?
@@BASSstarlet with 120mm? Its perfect for pocket in jacket, feel like having portable sun, battery life (Samsung 40t) is great absolutely love this light
Which is best battery to use mate samsung 30T or 40T?
Is there a way to program this to have instant access to turbo with one click?
Instrad of one clock to switch on, then double click for turbo when ON?
You can re-program the ceiling level to 150 and then ramp the light up to 10.000 lumens (don't double click to get to turbo), then turn the light off, click 5 times and there you go
Fentooooon!!! 😄
is the sbt90 different than sbt90.2 ? because the x9l on Amazon only says sbt90

Hey bud, just to clarify, you can programme the max ramp output anywhere in the range from minimum output, to turbo?
AFAIK you can't access the level between turbo and max ramp
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV weird.
So there is literally a massive deadzone between max-ramp and turbo? So it goes from some 1300 lumens to turbo, with no way to get any levels of light between the 2??

Hi mate just had mine delivered today and i unscrewed the tailcap first without realising... So i screwed it back on and put a Samsung flat top 40T in it and it flashes when screwing the head on but the once screwed all the way on it doesn't work and it also doesn't work with a 18650 in it either... Any ideas mate...i haven't a clue?
Just keep moving the bit around in the tailcap. It's a common issue
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV thanks for the quick reply mate... Top man 👌🏻👍🏼
P. S. Hope you have a great Christmas. 🎄
I was contemplating this light for awhile,...but really,...I don't need it. And I think what I have is plenty fine for both flood and throw. I'm using [for flood] an Olight Seeker 3, and [for throw], a Nitecore SRT9. That this FW21 heats up so quickly on turbo kind of negates its usefulness for me...but would certainly be a "wow factor"!
I really appreciate and enjoy your reviews. Of all reviewers of flashlights/torches, yours are the best. Especially when you're using Skyrim music. ;-)
Avoid Lumintop, plenty of FW21 alternatives
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Oh my!! I do have a few Lumintop lights [2xFW3A and 1xFW3EL]. But will take your advice and pass on getting more. Thanks for that, good sir!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Out of curiosity, why are you against Lumintop? Just wondering. Thanks!
@DeavonReye Many of my lumintops stopped working, and some came broke. most of my rear switch lumintops have switches that stick on, making output ramp to max. My very expensive turboglow Lumintop randomly came on on its own and ramped straight to turbo, then wouldn't turn off. Had to twist the tail cap to turn it off. Dangerous!
They may have improved now, but they were beyond garbage a few years ago.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV YIKES!!!! Okay, thank you for the reply, sir!
is this rechargable or have to buy new batteries
It takes 21700 so You need battery charger
my on off switch has just become very hard to press on and off. where can I get new back on off or how to fix
I think there's a fix posted on budgetlightforum.com. tbh most FW Lumintops have switch issues that the maker keeps ignoring.

Yes
So should i get 30t or 40t?
40T. 30T is pointless.

Thanks
Wish they would make these throw more would make me buy one there's only so much flood is good for :/
buy yourself a fookin FTO3S then
That's why they make the FW21 X9L. I have one it's basically the same but FW21 Pro but 810 meters of throw.
1160 lumens ANSI on turbo? Best flood= Imalent
How long does the battery last?
A 5000mAh on the lowest level will probably last a year
Looks more like an air ambulance than a UFO.🤓
It was huge
Interesting and funny. The best combination a review can have. What strikes me here is that the differences in beamquality, throw&spill are quite small. The MS03 has 13,000lm but it is no brighter than the FW21 or even the EC03.
And it is wise to open your garage with a light near by. Never knows what is lurking in the darknesss...

@@kachow2818 must lower resistance. When the driver gets hot output drops though. Basically it jumps up a few 100 lumens each time you blast turbo for 3 seconds but then it stsrts dropping a few 100 lumens as the driver/LED's get very hot and the battery voltage starts dropping.
