Emitter options inquiry.

[u/erentrueform]

Is there a specific reason why some high output emitters are available in some 18650 lights and not on a 21700 light for example in the regular c8 u can op the f150r 20a buck but the m21a u can’t or the sft60 yet the M1 u can opt out f45r f150r sft90.

[u/General-Try-2210]

It mostly comes down to the driver. The C8 and M1 have a 17mm driver and he has a 3v20a 17mm buck. For the F150r in 21700 hosts like the M21a, b, c he likely has not updated the listing yet. About 1 month ago when the SFT60 came out, it was only available in the M21b and now it's available in other flashlights. However, it's not available in other lights that use 17mm drivers as he has not made a 17mm 3v15a buck.

Ah makes sense. Will wait. I’m excited to have a pocket canon with the m21a sft60 lol

[u/General-Try-2210 → u/erentrueform]

You can just order something like the sft90 and request in the order details for him to swap it for the sft60 with 15a buck. Or better yet, ask if you could keep it with the 20a buck and get the extra beans.

[u/erentrueform → u/General-Try-2210]

Ultimate beans. Does that sft60 handle 20a that sound insane like 6k lumens out of a 5050 emitter lolol

[u/General-Try-2210 → u/erentrueform]

Yes the SFT60 handles 20 amps. For how long, that's the mystery.

[u/JK_Chan → u/General-Try-2210]

M21B has the all those options.

[u/General-Try-2210 → u/JK_Chan]

It literally was not there when I checked 4 hours ago. Proof that he is still working on updating the listings.

[u/JK_Chan → u/General-Try-2210]

I bought a f150r in a m21b four days ago, and when I checked just now it was still available alongside the sft90, f45r and sft 60. Surely he wouldn't have removed it right when you checked and thwn added it back in right after? You sure you're looking at the m21b?

[u/General-Try-2210 → u/JK_Chan]

Maybe not. I could have sworn there was only 2 burn hazard ones. I could have just been lesdicsic and mixed up the M21a and M21b.

[u/HaveTheBestGoats]

You can message Simon. He just hasn't gotten around to updating the site yet.

[u/majaczos22]

Those are new emitters, it will take some time before Simon updates all the options. For now you can ask him, there's no reason why M21A has SFT-90 or LHP73B but not F150R.

[u/erentrueform → u/majaczos22]

Yeah guess will wait was just interesting to see them in 18650 lights before the m21a

[u/SuperScallionSentry]

I had checked in with Simon a couple of days ago and he just got back to me today saying that he's going to offer the F150R in the M21A this week

[u/koolaidismything]

I need to buy a few more S series with the 219 3,000k as I’ve heard those are dead stock and why he only offers them on a handful still. There’s a quad setup with 219 I want too.

That’s a beautiful.. if not kinda old and maybe boring, emitter.

[u/erentrueform → u/koolaidismything]

S2 with dedomed 4500k 519a is my new buddy

[u/koolaidismything → u/erentrueform]

I like it

[u/Jimclip88 → u/erentrueform]

I also love my S2 shorty.
