- SofirnQ8 Plus / Astrolux EC06 6500K (same flashlight, different names)
- Lumintop GT3 5000K
| Model | Cell config | Flat top cell adapter? | Lumen output | ANSI Throw | Cd/lm ratio* | User interface |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Convoy 3x21B | 3×21700 | Included | 8000lm | 654m | 13.36 | Convoy Side-switch UI |
| EC06 / Q8 Plus | 3×21700 | No (Convoy’s adapter can be modified to fit) | 16k-18k lm | 665m | 6.5 | Anduril 2 UI |
| Lumintop GT3 | 4×18650 | No | 16k-18k lm | 671m | 6.62 | Anduril 1 UI |
* – Candela/lumen ratio explanation
A good way to determine the beam profile of a flashlight is to divide its candela (cd) by the lumens (lm) it produces. In return, we will get the cd/lm ratio. Here’s an approximate scale of what those values mean:
- 0.1 cd/lm: light bulb
- 1-3: flooder
- 5-15: balanced EDC-style beam
- 30: compact thrower
- 100: dedicated thrower
- 500+: extreme thrower
- 10000: laser
