Received my Convoy S11 today with the SFT40. Heck of a light and while it isn’t the easiest carry in jeans, it certainly works well in a jacket pocket. For comparison I’ll show some side by sides with the Sofirn SP33S with the XHP70.2. Similar form factor, very different lights. Both of these are monsters in their own way and are worth a look. The only real draw back I see is the 26650 battery, which just doesn’t offer a lot of options, but the extra thermal mass gives this form factor a thermal mass advantage, thus slower step downs at higher modes.

SP33S- Wall of light, 5000+ lumens, might throw 200 meters-ish tops.
S11- Intense hot spot, solid throw (400-500 meters at least), usable flood, 2400ish lumens with 8 amp driver.
I’ve always liked the S11. It’s certainly a chunk of a light.
