Love that picture
Xtar Moon Rc2, a very different light distribution, more useful for close quarter work, clips onto clothing for odd jobs and make a decent lamp in a crunch.
I wish it had a 1000 lumen mode 
My best for 2016 is the one I missed the deadline for the competition but am still working on.
BLF A6 and Kronos X5/6
Eeeerm 67% off !!! I may have to get one. That’s sharp as.
Acebeam K70.
I do not have this killer throw item yet.
Don’t get one!!! Wait for the GT :+1:
1st Convoy L6, 2nd TN42, 3rd MH20GT :+1:
God damn…why’d you go and do that?
Ordered another LOL!!!
Not sure if the blf A6 qualifies as it debuted in 2015? Still love mine. Bought an astrolux S1 for a friend he takes it wherever he goes.
My choices are the copper Astrolux S3/Kronos X5 and the eagle eye X2r. I’ve bought 3 x2r for presents. With a protected battery, they’re virtually idiot proof. Like the neutral white tint too.
Agreed, I keep seeing the A6 and BLF348. Neither of these lights were released in 2016!
Convoy L6, no doubts about that. Price/performance ratio is astonishing. Add another $1 in mods (resistors) and you have 4000+ lm flashlight for less than $60.
Honorable mention: Nitecore MH20 nw, Noctigon Meteor M43.
M43 was last year as well. I remember trying to convince my wife to get one for last xmas. Needless to say, I still don’t own one :laughing:
BLF X5 and X6 copper and stainless edition.
Yeh, I didn’t even notice that. Just shows ya what an IMPACT some lights make. They live on and on. :+1:
Convoy L6
Convoy L6. Price, quality, performance and on top of all that, it looks amazing!
- Convoy L6, hands off. Best bang for the buck. And the lighting is good too.
Special award for first shiny clear ano. - Eagle Eye X2R for putting the Reloadable into my beloved S2+ size. (Still waiting for S2+R.)
- Astrolux S41/Manker E14. It lost a lot of its reputation but if you got a good one it is a very nice little light with a lot of power. A small quad powerhouse.
- Jaxman M8, a smaller, pocketable C8 (may be a 2015 light though...?)
Special mention: Convoy S2+ Nichia UV 365 nm. One of the best quality UV LEDs in a great flashlight body. Possibly the best ready-made budget UV light you can buy.
Doesn’t full price mean, “we set a totally unrealistic price so we can ” discount” it and sell it for normal or little above true value “?
$20 for a tube EDC seems pretty normal to me.
…there has been so many great lights this year that it is hard to make a choice…
The Convoy L6 is certainly in the top three “best value” lights.
The Astrolux S41 and S41S are beautiful compact quads with a copper head, but a tad pricey without a promo code.
The Astrolux A01 copper/nichia i like a lot too.
The Lumintop Tool Ti Reylight Nichia edition is a little expensive jewel i’m glad to have.
…now waiting to receive the Klarus Mi7 Ti and Lumintop Prince mini…
