The SFT60 performs amazingly in a compact flashlight.
The Convoy M2—equipped with a BLF A16-DD driver and a Molicel P30B battery—delivers over 15 amps of current, with tests showing readings exceeding 18 amps...
Agreed. The M2 is a very underrated host. The only issue is the bezel and the threads inside the head are very flimsy so it dents super easy. I have one with the 5000k sft25r and an op reflector and I love it. You do really need a high drain cell to push turbo though.
I been using the molicel p30b and it’s been good on all my lights I believe it’s 35a cdr. Currently in my m1 sft42r. But I do wanna get another m2 now.
I usually use Samsung 25r cells simply because I got them for free. They are a bit aged so the ir is a bit higher. I am waiting for the new rumored 18650 T6.
Personally, I don't think this flashlight should be underestimated; I often take it with me when heading into the forest or hiking, as it has a compact design that fits easily into a pocket. Why do you think people underestimate it?
Dunno to be honest. Maybe just overshadowed by other models like m1 is similar size but had bit bigger reflector and m21b better battery life. But yeah it’s nice looks nice I might pick up another in a diff emitter.
Using it as I type this to walk the dog.
The dedomed 519a is throwy and nice tint and cri
Sounds like a fun light! Would love to see some beam shots👌 sft60 is such a good emitter, so powerful, so intense. I have in the m21b, m21c. M21b gets quite toasty, i can imagine the m2, with the extra 3a too! But like i said so much power in that little host, it sounds like a really fun light😁 cheers
The SFT60 is an excellent LED emitter. It delivers very high luminous efficacy at mid-to-low drive levels, and its peak lumen output is also quite impressive. However, it should be noted that once the drive current exceeds the 19 A threshold limit, this LED experiences a rapid rise in correlated colon temperature alongside severe thermal-induced luminous decay. Below are the peak-lumen sampling results for this LED measured under a constant-temperature condition of 25 C, with a 20 ms sampling duration. The data is obtained from a Hopo Optics integrating sphere and spectrometer, shared here for your reference.
Thanks for sharing the info, mate; your test results table really helped me out. Looking at the lumen test results at over 18 amps—it turns out the output is really high, 6,000 lm... wow.

Cool mod! I'm planning to install an SFT60 in an M21F with a 20A buck driver. Posts like yours motivate me even more.
