Convoy L21A

**Conclusion:**. At the end of the day, I’d rather have the option of the wider usable hot spot of the 4x18a, or the easier to carry L21a if I want a pencil beam. Even more so because the two Convoys combined cost about the same as the wt90 for me.

The host is really nice and the quality is a step above the lights I've previously owned (mostly Sofirns). Sofirn's lights aren't badly made, but compared to them, the Convoy doesn't have any sharp machined edges and the anodizing somehow feels nicer. The knurling on the battery tube also feels really nice. The L21B feels exactly the right weight for a host of this size; I can't imagine how awfully hefty a L21A would be.

I came super close to just going all-in and getting a Convoy L21A as a poor-man's K1, but I honestly would never use it aside from walking out on the porch and shining it for a minute or two. A flashlight that won't fit in a pants or jacket pocket is useless to me.

It's like a maglite that has been taken all the way to the max. The Osram options are great, but I feel those are more for enthusiasts who want to maximize throw. Also, if you want to maybe get a thrower and a SP35, plus batteries and charger, then the Convoy L21A or L21B might let you stay closer to a decent budget.

If you just want to buy an assembled one for a really good price, [the is available at Mohr Lumens for just over $50. I bought a couple of these to give as gifts and they're *awesome*.

It's good to know that the L21A manages heat well. This is what kind of puts me off of the D4V2 and DT8... they heat up way fast.

I linked a review, because automod doesn't like direct aliexpress links. There's a good link to buy it in the beginning of the review. Also the u/brokenrecordbot convoyguide bot reply has links (EDIT: since the bot seems to be not working). Other good throwers by convoy are the L7, L21A, and L21B.
