Convoy M2 vs Convoy M21B: Which One Should You Buy?

In this video, I compare the Convoy M2 and Convoy M21B (both with CULPM1) to help you decide which one is right for you. The M21B is slightly larger and takes a 21700 battery. The M2 takes an 18650 battery. Both have excellent throw (600-700m) and are suitable for EDC use. Though, I prefer carrying around the M2 as it's a little smaller. Both lights have very different drivers, so make sure you watch this video before you buy one. Get the Convoy M21B here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...

My website: https://www.darrenyeo.com Tip jar: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/darrenyeo This flashlight sample was sent to me by Convoy. I was not paid to do this review. All opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Convoy M2 Notes: General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality: • I've found my new favorite EDC. Impressive pocket thrower with strong spill. • Fits easily in a pocket, I like the included clip. • Comparison with other pocket throwers. LED, lens, bezel, and reflector • Perfectly centered LED. CULPM1 - 4040 (4mm2) footprint, better heat transfer. I went for the PM1 over the SFT40 as it throws further. Highest bin PM1s capable of producing 2000+ lumens @8A. Unsure what bin this one is. The NM1 can throw even more but with -300 lumens. • Tactical style bezel, cutouts, SS. • 25mm SMO reflector. UI - modes • 12 selections + memory Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality • No ring pattern. Previous reviewers have noted this. New gasket? • Measured 656m throw with Opple Light Master Pro. It should be producing well over 1000 lumens with the 5A driver. • Ramps down to 45% at 2mins 45. • CCT: 5300K, CRI: 60 (both on 100% reading) Considerations • Finish is slippery. • No onboard charging - need an external 18650 charger • A tactical switch would make this perfect. Verdict • At the end of the day, this flashlight gets a 5-star rating from me. For $20-30, no other pocket thrower out there comes close in terms of value, performance, and quality. It's my new favorite pocket thrower. Link to the M2 on the AliExpress Convoy shop above. A few places sell Convoy lights, but I've found they're cheapest direct from Simon. I don't get any commission from these links either - just want to make sure you get the best price possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Convoy M21B Notes: General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality: • Strong pocket thrower with decent spill. feels rugged and sturdy. • Fits easily in a pocket, though it didn't come with a clip and the head is slightly large, though necessary to achieve decent throw figures. • Comparison with other pocket throwers. LED, lens, bezel, and reflector: • Perfectly centered LED. CULPM1 - 4040 (4mm2) footprint, better heat transfer. I went for the PM1 over the SFT40 as it throws further. Highest bin PM1s capable of producing 2000+ lumens @8A. Unsure what bin this one is. The NM1 can throw even more but with -300 lumens. • Tactical style bezel, cutouts • 27mm SMO reflector. UI - modes: • 12 selections + memory • Recommend 3-5 mode selection due to heat. Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality: • Beam pattern is nice, not ringy. New gasket? • Measured 728m throw with Opple Light Master Pro. It should be producing over 1500 lumens with the 8A driver. • Slow, linear ramp down from switch on to 8mins (ended test, was still at 70% output at 8mins) • CCT: 5600K, CRI: 65 (both on 100% reading) Considerations: • Gets very HOT after a few minutes. Ramps down too slowly. Get the 6A version if you are worried. Ramping modes only go from 35% to 100%. • No onboard charging - need external 18650 charger. No clip. • A tactical switch would make this perfect. Verdict: Over-performing pocket thrower for a bargain price. I love the feel of it, the 700+m throw you get in such a small host.
