What was your best flashlight(s) of 2017

BLF Q8
Good budget light.
Thank you BLF

Not a light, but definitely deserves a special mention.

Astrolux MF-01 high output light thats in between a flood and a throw by a decent amount given how short the optics, best buy of 2017 for the price

The Emisar D4 HI model is a stand out for me- pocket rocket and dependable which is rarely mentioned. Have yet to hear of any doa,s or problems.

and

The Thrunite TN42- just super impressive, light cannon.

For me, Haikelite MT07S and SC02 are both on the top.

How come no one has referred to the DX80? :smiley:

Maybe DX80 doesn’t need more advocacy as it’s already the king of flood.

DX80? Lets not forget the D80 BLF SE. :smiley: Not this years production nor related to DX80, BUT what a little thrower for the price.

That said, the Q8 has to be the best of 2017 for performance and budget.

Nope, SF31W, just like in the link.

Tubelight, nice beam without a big angry hotspot, perfect for indoors when you’re not looking for throw. Reminiscent of a TIR beam, actually, even though it’s a reflector.

Got two Tains this year; Ottavino V4 and Azco. Both are stunning to look at and perform very well.
But honestly, I really like two of my “cheapies”. I have a Convoy S2+ (actually got two) with 18350 tube and Aspire battery using the Biscotti firmware. I am very impressed with the functionality of it and love the smaller size as compared to my standard S2+.
Also, I know some will disagree but I just bought my second Nitecore TIP 2017 because I liked the first one so much and they have a tendency to be less than excellent in reliability. Just a great all around little light.

For me it was the Nitecore MINI. Amazing little featherweight.

My favourites: Emisar D4, Convoy C8 silver, Jaxman E2L, Lumintop Worm.

Whoops! i didn’t know they had another 3000k light, too bad it seem they stopped producing it :weary:

And now you know why I bought 4 of the 6 that were available. :smiling_imp:

Shouldda pigged out and gotten all 6. :smiley:

My favorite of 2017: Olight s2 baton, Lumintop sd mini, Surefire g2x, Klarus xt11gt, Klarus xt11s, Fenix pd35 tac. Here is the list of the best tactical flashlight. I agree with this list. Out of 10 of those flashlights 7 is my favorite. Accoring to my logic, every best flashlight should have tactical features.

After some consideration I would nominate $7 S2+ as well. Unlike some other awesome deals it is something that an average but determined person can grab. And it’s worth it.

1)Skilhunt H03 . Good host, modding friendly. Actually I have 3 different moded H03 as favorite of year)
2) D4 excellent host.

1 Skilhunt H03
2 Thrunite TN40S
3 haikelite MT01
4 Thorfire VG10

That VG10 is not the best but those are the all I’ve bought in 2017 :weary:

Forward clicky, nigh perfect mode spacing, nice beam… what’s not to love?

That’s still one of my all-time faves.

Personally I find mode spacing of D4 much better. :stuck_out_tongue:
