Beam from some distance.
Beam closer up. Notice the four "petals".
219B sw45k lineup from L to R: M21H, D10 headlamp with swapped out emitter and 60° TIR, Convoy T3.
Looking directly into the 12° optic.
The emitters are visible from the center hole from a slight angle. This makes the petal pattern.
M21H and S21F. Notice the different buttons.

The hotspot of both lamps in the dark room as a comparison.
The viral lamp does quite well as a camping lamp.
200m vs 850m range clearly shows the difference!
In terms of brightness in lumens not zoomed in, the "no brand zoomie" only manages well under 500 lumens against the Convoy Z1 in terms of ceiling reflection.
Cheap plastic is nice and light :D
PWM is terrible, but not present on the Convoy Z1.
After the viral post no brand zoomies are evolving: Short review and comparison with cheap vs expensive
My racing bike is a nice lamp holder ^^

The reflector in place
The pillar assembly. I made an aluminium cylinder to add thermal mass and heat conductivity to the body, because the body only have a small step in contact with the mcpcbs plate
The convoy driver modified to fit into the body
I carved the body to make the driver fit and to add the charging port. As you can see there's no wall between the led and the driver, that's why I added the aluminum cylinder
I removed the 6 led wires and replaced them with 4 1.5mmq(15awg) wires. 1 wire for 2 leds. All leds in parallel
Ready to close! The added cylinder made wire management quite tricky. I have to close it in reverse because the bad design of the flashlight
Ready
Springs bypassed...
And back of the pcb reinforced
Top view
Usb charging port view. I put some black paint I had at home to cover the bare aluminum. it's not the best but it's ok
Side view
Beam shape at about 25cm. overexposed to see the shape. Sorry for bad image quality but my phone have a not so good camera
Same but underexposed
At about 1m. This photo is more realistic
Beam profile. The light is floody but definitely have an hotspot
