check the FW3A, it uses ‘anduril’ firmware, highly recommended
the A6 is my 2nd favorite light now, after the FW3A
it is very bright - but due to its size, it will heat quickly on its turbo mode, and ramp down the brightness
i think it is an acceptable compromise, i use ‘small’ a lot more than ‘super bright’
Don’t know your budget and preferred cell size. But I still like my d25c ti as a throwy EDC. It’s replaced by the D3a now, but you can still find them with good discounts. And in NW xpl hi.
