In my opinion, the best place to start is with a compact general purpose light. I would recommend something the size of Eagle Eye X6 or Convoy C8 or Luckysun D80. Out of those three, I prefer the look of the Eagle Eye X6. The smooth, simple shape is pleasing to look at. Please don’t do anything with a tactical look.
Thanks! I know Convoy, We generally name convey”maoku” in China, you may ask simon the reason. I agree Convey offer good price but I don’t like their quality and design, I have 3 Convey.
Welcome AWTACT! I’m guessing with so many high rise buildings and bright street lighting in China, there’s not much use for flashlights, therefore people are losing interest over there.
Wait, did you really say you don’t like Convoy quality? You’re the first person I’ve heard of not liking their quality. Would you tell what you don’t like about it?
What do you mean when you say you want to make flashlights? Are you associated with a manufacturing company that can design and mass produce flashlights? Or Is it just a small business making custom flashlights that your'e proposing? Thanks.
The majority of the lights we buy here are Chinese brands too but of course there are some good modders on this forum that spices up these lights and many products here are also shaped by input from this forum like the BLF GT. There’s just too little profit in the flashlight hobby business for American companies like Maglite or Duracell to venture into.
