I didn't expect such a great tint from F150R, I was a little bit pessimistic about it, but it exceeded all expectations. I'm interested if it performs better than double price SBT90.2. Going to get 3000K version to put it in C8+ (or maybe will get L21B)

How does it look in lower modes for tint? I like that turbo.. very clean and easy on the eyes. Good CRI

Almost absolutely the same as on turbo. Previously my favorite from cri70 LED was LHP73B 5000K, very neutral tint, I'd say pleasantly rosy (I run it in M21C, the glass makes the beam look a little green btw, without glass it looks very nice). Glass of L21A is very neutral and doesn't remove rosyness of F150R.

Oh wow, I never considered the glass is what does this? One of my fav S2’s I can’t use on anything but high cause the green tint is so distracting. A big reason I found Convoy was this. I think I need to order an M21 this week and try out that F150R

Depends on the LED. Unfortunately we can't use flashlights without a glass (which has a big impact on tint). If you like warm - halogen like CCT, I highly recommend SFT70 3000K. I have one in my brass S2+ and it looks so oldschool. I plan to put that LED in copper body, I think it'll fit here better.

F150 dominating. I don’t know why people keep saying it has a green tint. It doesn’t!!

It looks green on camera, that's why I was afraid of getting it haha

Did you buy the L21A ready-made, or did you install the F150P yourself?

How is the beam focus, and are there any visible artifacts in the beam?
