Initial impressions of the Convoy S21E as a bike light
I've been running my Convoy S21E (B35A 4500K, 20x65 striped TIR) as a bike light for a week or so now. I find it's a big upgrade from the Wuben B2 I had been using because the beam is a more suitable shape, and it doesn't throttle if I keep my speed up.
Of course if it doesn't throttle, runtime is 73 minutes, but it's 73 minutes of 1500 lumens of glorious 97 CRI simulated daylight. I'll bring spare batteries.

Was the wuben a standard circle beam? The rectangular beam sounds better but I've always wished for one with an more car-like cutoff where the hotspot is at the top for max throw and minimal glare to oncoming people. I've wondered if a mirror could be used to flip the blocked light down and not just waste it.
And then I see the average cyclist blinding everyone anyway and remember no one else would adopt it
Rectangular beam? Now I'm curious, can we PLEASE get some beamshots!

The Wuben is a round beam without cutoffs. The 20x65 TIR I have in the Convoy has little spill outside its rectangular beam.
