Thanks mate! I don't have the L35 but in general, Acebeam have better build quality and more balanced beam profile. I'm unsure if they have the XHP70 in any of their TIR lights. So they will produce significantly less light. However they should have better throw.

The PM1. But it produces a smaller hotspot and less overall light

@@DarrenYeoYT Thanks bro for the help.

Anytime bro​@@dqbeseventynine7452

Totally, a few extra dollars for regulated output is worth it. I think Wurkkos is in a funny position, where they are making budget lights but teetering into features only high quality lights have. Convoy is like that too but their drivers are generally better.

Cheers Cosmin!

Thank you mate. Any suggestions for future videos or tips ? How can I make these urban exploration videos better.

Thanks Ben, I made another longer video tonight. Quality is better :D

Thanks mate, I'm using my phone camera from now on until I can get a gimbal for the DSLR. I find it difficult with my phone camera, as there are small vibrations on the video when I step and it blurs for a second. Not sure if altering the settings would help.

I think a gimbal will help with that , but im talking about the speed that you move the camera when panning from left to right , and tilting up and down... Its fast ... Not sure if your familiar with motion sickness but it really brings it on ... I tried searching for panning tutorials, but omg there's just so many ... Best i can say is keep in mind how fast your moving when scanning the area...i catch glimpses of other TH-camrs filming things like whats spread out on a table, and there movements are slow and smooth ... The results are pleasant to watch ... Please don't take this as harsh criticism, i like what your doing just trying to help you improve...

Thank you mate I will try to keep the camera movements slower. I guess that's how my eye movements generally are. I go from place to place quickly, distractible 😅​@@gonzalez7805

Jajajajajajaja, i was totally thinking about the Blair witch while watching this ... Wouldn't mind seeing a new addition to that franchise...

Haha I think that's one place I may not return from 😂 I made another long video tonight. Quality is better but I can't seem to get rid of the small camera vibrations when I walk.

@@DarrenYeoYT I remember watching a B-grade movie about a group of adventurous young people who bribed a Ukrainian van driver to take them to Pripyat, the abandoned city next to the Chernobyl reactor. Despite being a low budget flick, the storyline is intense with a really creepy atmosphere with a surprise ending. You know what horror movies have in common, right? Flashlights that are bright as 100 lumens and come with batteries that conveniently start to fail just before the character gets killed or kidnapped. ☺️ That's right, they would have lived if only they had a Wurkkos TS23 each, instead of that dinky, hardware store bought torch! 😎

Haha. It'd be a bit creepy inside. I'm more worried about falling wood/bricks.

@@DarrenYeoYT "A bit creepy?" If I were there with you, the hair on the back of my neck would be standing stiff like a hedgehog, mate! 😳 That reminds me, you ought to take a trip to Port Arthur in Tasmania and bring your LEPs and those green torches when you get back to 'Straya, mate! 😧💀☠️👻

Yep you're right, it's Helsinki

?

Yeah it's better with the C8+ die to the larger reflector. Perfect circle!!!

It's here: th-cam.com/video/lniNUXURGRA/w-d-xo.html

I have tons of comparison videos on this channel too, if you go to the playlists, I can't even remember all the ones I've compared

Cheers Ken!

Is it different from the one in this video?

@@DarrenYeoYT that’s the new one. I prefer the deep carry clip from the previous model, great video btw 👌🏽

Prefer deep carry too. ​@@stevendeary502

I don't see why not, as long as they both have the same capacity and charged fully before using in the light. It's not one of those batteries with the positive and negative terminal on one end right?

​@DarrenYeoYT Hi, the contacts are arranged conventionally with positive at one end and negative at the other. However it is 3.6v 10,000mah so underneath the wrap holding the two 21700 together they are arranged in parallel. As opposed to 7.2v 5,000mah when using two 21700 in series. I ask because apparently the sbt90.2 is a 3v led so the torch wouldn't have to regulate the voltage down but maybe as it was designed that way it will assume the batteries flat.

Full review here: th-cam.com/video/diiQCy-kYB8/w-d-xo.html

S8 is using a smooth reflector, and the M2 is using a aspheric lens. This was surprisingly. Was thinking the green would clearly outperform. But I'm not so sure now. Like you said, Maybe depends on atmospheric conditions too and the colour and surface material of the object.

Yes as you move out to less populated areas, flashlights suddenly feel 10x brighter. I think we have way too much ambient light actually. But it does help prevent crime.

Maybe some binoculars or large camera lens. I'm thinking of making some more hardcore hiking videos. These are mostly travel related. The fortress exploration one was most popular as I used lights the whole time 😀😀

Good choice!

Thank you for sharing!

P17's head diameter is 30mm apparently. v55L accommodates up to 39mm so should be fine.

@@DarrenYeoYT head diameter is 41mm

In that case it won't fit ​@@moltenpoetry8569

​@@moltenpoetry8569I just searched the specs on google

I like the extra modes personally so I guess I don't use a hardcore tactical light. I just end up using the other lower modes more as that's all I need. Hunters, security people maybe not.

The IF23 pro is the main one I'm interested in :D I don't have the original model though. It'd make a great travel flashlight. Does everything. Police have come and spoken to me outside a couple times, asking what I was doing. I just explained to them and they went away. It makes me uncomfortable filming some of these beam shots too, am probably annoying people. But I don't do it all the time and try to point away from the windows.

@@DarrenYeoYT Mate, I seem to recall that you have the IF24 Pro and asked your audience whether it was worth upgrading to, lol. 😁 It has that nice SFT-40 and you left it back home. I was originally a 21700 flashlight buyer until you convinced me to try the 18650 ones, beginning with the FC12 and the Convoy M1. That set me off on a buying spree and there are just more 18650 models than there are the 21700 ones! 🤦 Are you sure you're in for the IF23 Pro? You know it will have the 21700 format cell and not the 18650 one, right? ☺ _"But I don't do it all the time and try to point away from the windows."_ Boy, am I glad you're not testing out green lasers or the Imalent SR32. 🔦☀🔆

​@@StratmanII it's a bit larger but the IF23Pro would be better if you need extended runtimes. I've been doing some urban exploration videos lately and finding my 18650 lights are not holding out long enough

@@DarrenYeoYT _" finding my 18650 lights are not holding out long enough"_ That's when USB-C powerbanks and spare 18650 cells come to play! You could have brought a Wurkkos H1 with you too! 🔦🔋 Seriously though, when I go out with my camera on a photo shoot, I make sure I have two spare, fully charged batteries. A camera that can't turn on is as good as lugging a paperweight rock. 😀 Have you tried the true 4000 mAh 18650 cells from Vapcell or Liitokala? Those are the largest capacity ones that you could get for your 18650 torches.

Lol!😂

Yep they do. The heads are interchangeable too. I'm currently carrying an S8 with CSLPM1.F1 / swappable S2+ head with 3000K Nichia 519A as a night and walking light.

@@DarrenYeoYT thanks, i want to start collecting S series from convoy 👍

I've only got this one buddy. And I'm pretty sure it uses a FET driver. Step down is not impressive...

Nice !!

I carry the E8 with me mostly due to longer battery life.

I think once the battery voltage drops below 3.6 volts. But some high drain batteries perform quite well at that stage, for example the Samsung 30T. Cheap cells won't.

Thanks for the tip mate!

@@DarrenYeoYT great review as always!

I believe mine has a linear driver but you can message Simon when you order and ask him to put a buck driver in.

I hope they make a version that can also charge 14500s too, and at the same time charge AAs.

I can't remember exactly, but I had two remove two bolts and replace them with longer ones that locked these on properly. It's attached to a chunky part of the frame anyway.

The 18650 sized ones are better. To pocket. Those are the main lights I carry around.

It's an incredible performer compared to my other SFT70 lights. Holds turbo longer and doesn't step down as much. But it gets unbearably hot after awhile. So I just put it into high/medium mode.

Yes it is :) was thinking of going to Ionna too.

Yes I took it the other day but didn't get the see the open prison. Must have missed it on the map. There's probably stuff that's not marked.

@@DarrenYeoYT maps.app.goo.gl/ojmsDU9wh2S9TmUJ8 you probably passed by because it looks like a normal house block

Thought the architecture/build was unique. Especially the roof.

Is it? 😂 I'm just travelling through some of the Nordic countries and ended up here. Enjoying it so far so have just hung around for a bit.

Hahahah. Mate I've found a nice spot to do beamshots. Will try tonight. I'm experimenting with some of these travel videos and have grouped them into another playlist. But trying to keep them on topic as well. Not sure if people like them or if it's annoying.

@@DarrenYeoYT Well, there's that too. If you're able to hook up with a few local flashlight enthusiasts, you might be invited to join their beam shot tests outside Helsinki - perhaps to their vast countryside on a power sled! 😀 Me: Wondering if I should order that fascinating TD03. 🤔

The TD03 is good but think it'd be a waste of money if you already have the FC12. Similar performance. Though it will throw a bit further. I haven't tried to meet with any flashlight people yet :) ​@@StratmanII

@@DarrenYeoYT Yes, I pretty much bought most of the Sofirn and Wurkkos models that you've reviewed, mate. Including the FC12, although it's the least reliable torch in my collection due to its firmware bug which Wurkkos refuses to admit. I now understand why you had recommended the TD03 in your past review (and not the TD05) - it's the 5000K SFT40 emitter and its tailcap rotary switch! 🙂 Anyway, for the time being I thought I'd order one of those DY-Approved Torches (DAT) - the Sofirn IF24 Pro. Got a good deal with the Sofirn Direct store's discount vouchers!😀 BTW, when you do get home I hope you'll be reviewing the mellow yellow WK03 and the olive green TD04 with gold accents - really cool flashlights, mate! 🙂

Oh yeah you'd know more about these small details..

You're welcome buddy

Yeah it is 😄 just a deterrent

I believe buck drivers are more efficient than FET and produce less heat. But I see no reason to get the FET TD01. The marginal increase in brightness in the beginning is hardly noticeable, and it feels hotter than than TD01C during operation. The TD01C remains significantly brighter than the TD01 after stepdown.

@@DarrenYeoYT Ta mate! I fielded a similar question to Wurkkos Marketing on their official YT channel, but they chose not to answer it. I think they knew that flashlight nerds are likely to own both versions, so the TD01c sells alongside the TD01. Buck drivers shouldn't cost that much considering that Wurkkos buys them wholesale. It seems that both Wurkkos and Sofirn sell many models that are FET based or unregulated. I mean, if buck drivers are the future of 3V LEDs they should be a standard fitting and not sold as a separate model. 🤔 Have you ever tried or reviewed the Sofirn SF26? It looks quite similar to the TD01 but with a twin push button tail cap. 🔦😎

​@@StratmanIIhaven't had a chance the review the SF26, though I asked for a review model ages ago. It has a hidden charging port under the head of I remember right.

@@DarrenYeoYT I have four more flashlights to go before I reach my limit of 30 torches, lol. 😅 The latest to join my flock is the Convoy S8 with the CSLPM1.F1 and its hot spot is smaller than my S21B with the same emitter. I now see why you love the S8! It comes with a belt clip, which is rare among Convoy flashlights. I'm reserving four more slots for my future flashlights and I think the TD01C deserves a spot. The second vacancy would be for the Wurkkos TS26, should the company release the Anduril version. The remaining two slots are for Sofirn models, which I have yet to identify. My Convoy collection is done and they're all the Greenies. So it would be 4 Convoys + 13 Wurkkos + 13 Sofirns, or 6 Convoys + 12 Wurkkos + 12 Sofirn. The thing about Convoy torches is that I'm not sold on the Osram TG white emitters, just their green ones. Oh, I forgot to mention that my M21H is now slightly longer due to the optional tail switch. I regret buying the M21H with the Getian GT green as its green light is too monochromatic and too floody. I don't mind floody white light that the M21H produces, just not in monochromatic green. 🙁 Edit: Have you heard rumors of Sofirn planning to introduce the IF23 Pro? If it becomes a reality I shall get that instead of the IF24 Pro. ☺️

​@@StratmanIIonly 30? What kind of flashlight addict are you 😂😂 ok I guess there are worse addictions thought right?

I don't have other brands of Chinese multi tools, but compared to their others like the Flagship Pro, this one is a step above. The machining is cleaner and more precise, finish is superior. I think it holds up nicely to my leatherman tools even though it is larger.

The leatherman tools would be better if you needed a larger variety of tools, bit driver, and smaller sized tools to carry around.
