So hard to decide. I bought so many great lights ( mostly from reading about them here ) I suppose the D4s. No wait the BLF C8 or the Convoy S2 triple. Or maybe…
Thank you guys for all your replies and reviews. What a time to be alive?! Can you imagine hiding under a rock for 5 years and coming out to see how torches have progressed? I came back to BLF after a long break in the hobby to check Cyber Monday deals. I was still fond of my UF-980L.
Just got my Thrunite TC15 and TC20 In. V6 on the way. I’m speechless. Ordered another one of each for gifts. Dn70 and a few lumintops on the slow boat from China as well. Thanks again!!
Totally agree. I was original member #123 over on CPF when it first started and what you can get now for $20-$50 was $200-$300+ from a custom modder just several years ago and they’re even brighter and more efficient now. We’re living in flashlight heaven!
I have so many favorites from this year but I’ll have to say, D1, Nitecore Tini, RovyVon Aurora A5 and as of yesterday, Wuben EO5. Can you tell I like small lights?
I really really like my Convoy L2 in natural machine finish. It is beautiful and with the MTNElectronics boost driver powering an XHP-35 it’s a pretty epic light in it’s own right.
Then again, when it comes to epic the MaxToch XSword with it’s laser emitter and extreme long throw is right up there at the top.
Since the L2 came to me in host form it may not count, but the MaxToch XSword is a light even I won’t mod, so it must be the best light I got all year. Thanks to robo819 and Mudgripz, and especially Amanda at MaxToch, I have a unique light that is outstanding in performance!
About the same size as the MaxToch Shooter 2X or Sniper M24…
Here seen lending some lumens to the full moon…
Lighting the water tower at 1.9 miles with ONLY 370 lumens!
It sounds like the XSword has the throw of a BLF GT, but it’s a fraction of the size and uses an aspheric optic instead of a reflector.
I don’t plan to mod my BLF GT, unless I count firmware updates. Its ridiculous nature in stock form is what makes it fun. The XSword sounds like it’s a more practical item in that category though.
there has to be categories, one size don’t fit all
the D4S is closest to my doall, iffn I have pocket to carry it
my Rofis MR70 is my car/truck glove-pocket carry as it is multipurpose light/power-bank/rechargeable
and with no good reason…I love the S43S with skins from the S42S, just seems brute force refined!
