i’d just say get a good cheap one and see what else you need or you want to change
blf a6 or astrolux s1 - same thing
convoy s2+
plus a battery and a $2 charger
after that you will have a good light and know a LOT more about what you like and need, than just from reading

Thank you very much for doing this for the sake of the flashlight community. Very nice introduction and I was able to get some gaps in flashlight understanding filled in .
Excellent write up. Bookmarked.

Yes, but only Mr. Admin can do it.
If you want something stickied, you can ask him.
EDIT:
This thread has already been stickied.

^ Good to hear it. It has a very good explanation about the relativity of throw, spill, brightness, and temperature. And yeah, those zoomies are novelties for the most part.

Okay, evenif it was only bumped by a spambot, I’d hate if this got buried again. So… Bump.

BUMP - Very well done. Wish I found this 2 months ago when I first started researching flashlights!
Can always add:
It must list “tactical” in its description. If it’s not “tactical”, it’s garbage.
