Wow that’s the clear winner! Don’t know the actual size though. Haven’t seen this posted anywhere yet.
Certainly a great concept. 
not so small as it looks 
, about the same size as BLF Q8, Much bigger than M43!
- Buy a Q8 for a beasty flooder
-A New Convoy C8 with Biscotti(from Simon) for some throw
-A blue astrolux S1 18350 and an 18650 tube
- A skillhunt Ho3 NW headlamp
-A Lumintop AAA tool nichia
-A Nitecore cri TIP
-A Sofirn sp10B
8 eneloops
8 samsung q30’s
-A liitokala li-500
under $250
Yeah, a start. lol
Thanks for all the suggestions -
Clarification - I am considering lights with Up- To 4 cells. So can have 1 cell, 2, 3 or Four of the 18650’s
And up to 5,000 Lumens on Turbo if possible 
But seems like the Emisar D4 is on the upper end of practical use on Turbo? What is one step down from the Emisar D4?
The meteor M43 over at intl-outdoor is also a very good option. The most compact 4x 18650 flashlight you can get from what I know, with 6600 lumens at 90CRI
Can you provide a link?
Always looking for options
Not a multi cell light but the Sofirn C8F would work nicely. Doesn’t get super hot, super fast like the Emisar. Depending on how you are dressed, could be carried in your pocket. Though a holster for it is super cheap and practical. Hides nicely under a untucked shirt. Replace the wire they used for the spring bypass and you have 3000+ lumens of triple emitter goodness.
WOW. Clown life is Pricey.
Now you know why clowns murder people…
And besides, they can’t even get decent knuckle-tats. Try getting “CLOWN LIFE” on your hands, the ‘N’ ends up on your thumb, so all you see when you make two fists is “CLOW LIFE”. Pisses ’em off…
Dude, clowns and other carnies often have extra fingers.
Not after any failures. They snip ’em off just like yakuza…
After a while, all you can read is “OW LI”.
lol. We are way off topic.
Clown and carny hate speech is insensitive. 
But sharks don’t eat clowns
Professional courtesy.
They taste funny! :person_facepalming:
I’ll see myself out now
