    Yeah, since I'm closed till the 16th I never bothered to link my website, will do that when I'm back.

    Waiting for my spot welding gear to arrive as well before I start selling them, batteries need a button top welded on. Without a button, the tops of the batteries get smashed in from the recoil.

    White versions

    CSLNM1 - 765 lumens, 1,450m range (Narrow beam, longer runtime)
    CULPM1 - 1,320 lumens, 1,350m (Wider beam, but thirsty on batteries)

    Red LED - 280 lumens, 850m

    Green LED - 1000 lumens, 1,700m

    Always take an ANSI range spec and halve it for usable lighting.

    ordered 2 of the new red torches and a white beam L21B. My hunting partner has been so impressed with the performance of the red beam on game he has decided to give it a go as well.
    Can't wait to compare the new red version to my older model C8.

    Thanks for your order.

    I've had the most sales I've ever had over the course of a two day period, I haven't even had a chance to send an email letting everyone know I'm open! Part of me wishes I was still on holiday haha.

    I'm aiming to get your order off tomorrow.

    Even though I've stated 400m for the Red beam, I can easily see pines 480m out, so I'm looking forward to know what everyone else thinks

    I've become an authorized Nitecore dealer. The question is would people buy a Nitecore hunting model with this L21B I have...hmm.

    The real big plus is their 5 year warranty I guess, but once that's lapsed or you void it, those models most likely have proprietary components making for a difficult repair. Unlike the Convoy models which can be repaired or even upgraded for a lifetime.

    Might just settle on stocking some headlamps to start with.

    I'll be making demo videos for each and then sell the demo unit off cheap.

    Thanks Jacob, It might be a little while before were back down to our hunting spot but I will give you feedback on how these new torches perform. I'm also curious as to how the white beam V1 torch compares to my old Maxtoch M Pro Archer.

    Ill be interested in a couple of decent headlight - I'm talking about something with a good general purpose hunting/camping light, thats reliable and lasts more than 18 mths.
    Pretty sick of the LL headlights - pieces of shit imho
