New Convoy L21B batch screwed up

Unfortunately, the reflector has been altered in the new L21B batch resulting in all versions measuring less range. The SFT40 is roughly 100m less and the CULPM1 is almost 150m less. I’m super annoyed considering just buying in bulk, now I have to try make thicker gaskets.

In the photo, the old original batch with the correct focus on the right vs the new current batch on the left. You can see how much more light is focused into the hotspot. .

I’ve told Simon that he needs to find another factory because this keeps happening for every new batch.

The L21B was designed as a lightweight hunting model for my store. The first batch had poor focus so I had Simon produce thicker gaskets. Now this new batch requires even thicker gaskets because the reflector now has a recessed ring for the gasket to slot into.

The previous C8+ batch was similar, notice how the Osram LEDs used to use a white gasket, now they use my thicker black gaskets for the L21B, that’s because the factory messed up the reflector.
