I admit, I would probably never use it on the road. But on the paved trails I commute on (pitch black at night), it is awesome. Great throw for riding fast, and spill for spotting critters. I still don’t love its UI, but after a few rides with it, I want another one.
I would say the Zanflare F6s.
It sticks to everything is not supposed to.
Is a whistle that can’t whistle.
Weights a ton and a 1/2 in the neck.
The chain turns black the next day.
Even in the keychain is heavy.
It’s supposed to be 200 lumens out of a cheap 70 mAh 10180.
And I ended up with two of ’em.
Zanflare anyone?. Cheap.
a) PFlexPro is closed because they have a big order and don’t give a damn about the retail biz.
b) Malkoff is a parts supplier turned manufacturer. Very expensive. More than Surefire.
c) Elzetta is more expensive than Surefire too.
d) HDS makes the ugliest flashlights there are. WAY more expensive than Surefire.
I just bought a Surefire Fury Tactical (1500 real lumens) for 139.95.
Is that expensive?.
No joke, back when I had my work notebook/agenda, I only wrote on it with two Bic pens I’d found abandoned inside library books - one purple, one bubblegum pink. They NEVER went missing from my pen cup, unlike the blues and blacks. Even leaving them on top of my otherwise empty desk yided no “yoinks”.
We here say it in jest, but it’s a legitimate life hack
