Seriously? All this nonsense gets this poor guy closer to getting an actual flashlight? Nope.
Do you think it’s a bad time to ask if I should buy a Ford, Toyota, Mazda or Hyundai?
Absolutely it does! Bigger! Go for the F1!
More power! Ahr, ahr, ahr…
Hi Rhyme guy, and welcome to BLF.
After snooping awhile before joining the forum I bought my 1st 18650 Li-ion flashlight. It was an Atactical A1 …I don’t think available anymore. It introduced me to the world of good batteries, tail and side switches, and was a rugged user-friendly flashlight. I still have it, use it and really like it. I got to see what the world of “moonlight” and “firefly” was all about by stacking little circles of waxed paper over the lens. Then there was 10 lumens , 50, 200 and 500 …holy smokes what a lot of light. I got to see what I really light in a flashlight …(to tell the truth at this point it’s multiple flashlights) and then focused my buying habits “more or less” accordingly.
In that spirit, I’d suggest considering something like the ThorFire TK15S or TK18. Maybe consider the kit with battery, they don’t cost a lot, you can order and get them quickly, if you have questions about what you want in a light, either could be a good place to start in getting that figured out. If you don’t need or want a searchlight …maybe avoid the C8 for the time being
I’d also like to second Lightbringer’s post #10 and the variety of choices for the 18650 tube lights.

Well, maybe not the universe …but at least in the only galaxy that really matters. (Sometimes we go off topic and get overly exited about thing to.)
All the best,

You should have asked earlier 
No American product can match a Hyundai or a Mazda no matter what TRUMP attempts to do about it
Oh hell, that’s just damn funny right there.
Go bigly

I am giving this guy a SF36 with a 30Q cell and a single cell charger and cable just for putting up with us. I even took off the crappy OEM pocket clip and put a A6 one on there. Just PM me with an address and it will be on the way.
I keep saying- this is the coolest, most generous, tolerant forum of them all; another fine example to keep my faith. Hurry up rhymeguy!
The man
The topic has gone slightly offtopic recently.
This picture is wrong, the perspective greatly exaggerates the differences.
F1 is larger. Whether it’s much or a little larger - that’s personal taste.
But it’s not nearly that much larger.
I always say that a bit of humor can help diffuse a situation…
If you’re standing before a firing squad, a little joke or two can help relieve the tension on both sides as they fill you full of lead.
As I said it is a bit anfortunate angle, and we can also discuss how one defines “big”, i.e. what is big for you or me, but F1 definitely is larger relative to F1, if its say 50% extra volume-wise, which is roughky the case here
Noone getting fired at, I hope
And also, the guy could have heard a few good pieces of advice
Zanflare F1 > A very nice light .
Yeah , charging - a decent dedicated charger should be on the shopping list if you plan to run 18650 .
Everyone is going to have personal preferences , but if you see the Zanflare F1 on special , it’s worth owning …
I got some F3’s when they were on special , and If I see the F1 on special again for $19.99 I will get another .
:+1: Some of the most entertaining dialogue happens when threads go astray.
Agree. While on the car itself… to a non-American eye, the car probably looks much more acceptable, and not weird at all
