Flashlights

[VashHash]

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.

Nitecore TUP2 multi color temperature

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!

Olight Oclip Ultra vs Pro

If they'd make those Oclips with pivoting heads I'd buy several of them.

Nitecore has a few options like that. I can't think off the top of my head what the models are, but I know they have them.

nitecore tube I think.

I found one of those olights in a hotel I stayed at on vacation. someone left it behind.



I'm afraid to ask how many flashlights makunochimaster has

I've seen Wuben (spelling?) on Amazon sell them, but haven't checked them out. I already have so many higher powered lights so I've been gravitating to smaller, more convenient sizes lately and with Olight I really like the magnetic bases, which would combine really well with a pivot head. I have some Milwaukee work lights like this and they're awesome.

I can't remember the last time I carried something besides my nitecore edc 27 uhi, besides when I take headlamps with me hiking / camping.

it's so thin and easy to carry for a full sized light, and has crazy long battery life and power.

I used to carry keychain sized lights too but since the edc27 is so easy to carry I leave the keychain lights at home now.

When I carried a fenix pd36r for my main light it was bulkier, which meant sometimes I didn't feel like carrying it. the nitecore doesn't have that issue for me.

Anyone have any experience with the Wurkkos TS22? Seems like a floody beam pattern with good output. Any cons to it?

[horzuff]

It's a really nice light, efficient, bright and quite compact. One annoying thing is the auto lock, but unlocking it is quite easy, so not that big of a deal. And no reach, pure flood.

[RugerNurse]

Thanks. I’m was looking for a more floody beam so this was a contender. The other is the Olight Seeker 4 Pro. Looks like a wide beam but has some reach.

[TkoK83Spy]

Of all my lights, the one I like most for having a floody beam as well as a definitive hot spot, has to be my Fenix PD35R. Check out some videos on that one.
