Most technologically advanced? Probably the Oveready Boss. Best machined/metal art? My vote goes to the Hanko Trident. There’s some measure of opinion in that to be sure, but I do believe they’re some of the best made, cleanest flashlights anywhere.
That’s very true, not everyone’s favorite or best is everyone else’s.
More preferences would help to narrow it down a bit. :+1:
A price range would help.
Thanks for the recommendations. I am a big olight fan but their s1a cu is no longer available. The convoy looks good, however I’m not sure I would wait two months for it.
My preferences would be an all copper build, small and light enough for edc, around 100-200 lumens, memory mode, clicky switch, sexy design but not a piece of art. Price is of no consequence. I would like it to be something that is readily available for purchase, rather than something I have to sit on a list for months to buy. Hope this helps narrow it down for you guys.
I know you said you want something in stock and I get that, but really, if cost truly is no issue to you then consider waiting on (or working for) the Hanko or Oveready. If you’ve got the money, they’re worth the effort.
I don’t know enough to answer most of these questions. I don’t want the ladies to do a double take when they see me walking around with it in my pocket, so an 18650 is probably too large. I was thinking around a AA or 2xAAAs or the LI equivalent. Color and temp aren’t really important to me.
Ok well, you’re looking for a 14500 or 18350/16340 size flashlight.
The Olight S mini CU is the one I would get.
Other options include the Manker Timeback Copper, Klarus Mi1C copper, Jetbeam Jet II Copper, Sunwayman T16R Cu, Lumintop Tool Copper, etc.
I’ve almost purchased this light so many times. I love the look of it, but the head seems a little larger that I would be comfortable with as an EDC and the fins look like they would be a little rough on the pockets. Also not a fan of the clip that’s not deep carry. Might be a little more EDC friendly with a suspension clip?
My copper Mini Pineapple is due in this week. I’m expecting this to replace the copper AAA Tool as my EDC.
