I'm still using this one. If black Friday looks good I might get the larger 2A version. Works really well so far and I like that when I charge it I can toss in a conventional AA battery.

I’m looking to grab a larger flashlight while the Black Friday sales will be going on. Trying to decide between the Fenix TK17 and the Olight Seeker 4 Pro. Both seem similar in performance but I don’t know if I’d like the lockout on the Olight. It will constantly lock out after 10sec. The Fenix has a tail switch while I prefer but no lockout feature at all.

I picked up a Sofrin C8L after reading some reviews for a bright light that had good runtimes. So far I’ve been impressed. The beam is a good spot with a wide circle of spill around it. What are some good more flood light options for flashlight?

I've been on an Olight kick lately, just got the new ArkPro Ultra and it was bundled with a free i3E EOS which is a little keychain light, and I was so impressed with it I also ordered a i1R 2 Pro which is another small keychain light. The ArkPro is a big improvement over their Arkfeld Ultra, I really like that it finally has USB-C charging.

Fenix E35R is pretty nice. Quite a bit of spill and still has a bit of a hot spot. That's a 21700 battery as well. Looks like they have a Black Friday sale going on at the Fenix website too.

After using a 18650 Solarforce host and Eagtac triple drop-in for flippin’ years I recently bought a 21700 Convoy 21d quad.

I guessed a spec of

LED type: XPL HI
Color temperature: 4000K
Quad TIR beam angle: 60 degree bead

For work I need flood rather than throw and good colour definition for photos and I’ve found this torch to be excellent.

Edit: and cheap!
