I looked everywhere and couldn't find beam shots of this setup. So I wanted to share. I got the M26C first with the XPH 70 3000k and it quickly became my favorite walking flashlight. that warm color is so easy on your eyes and makes nature look even more gorgeous at night (subjectively.)
Anyway, I went with the m21c because I really love the shape of the head on this flashlight similar to the M26C, and wanted a good balance of throwy- floodiness. As you'll see in the picture comparing them, it has a few more cooling fins vs m26c and is slightly longer because of it. I'm not going to complain, this LED gets HAWT and needs that cushion for the pushin.
The beam on this thing is WIDE. I was holding it high above the ground pointing it at trees 200 m away, and just a few feet in front of me the beam is 67 ft wide! It does have decent throwiness being able to light up something really well around 200 m with no problem. but what's really special about it is just how insanely wide the beam is. And it seems a little less warm than other lights at 3000k, but I love it. It has a very nice tone to it.
in case anyone's looking at this light or something similar I wanted to have some more pictures and opinions to share to add to the arsenal.
