Hi, i´m actually searching for a new compact thrower flashlight.
I figured out that the Lumintop GT mini fits pretty good but is there a better flashlight in that size avaiable?
The Astrolux FT03 is to big for me i guess but i like the UI from it that i know from the EC01 that i own.
It really comes down to how ‘compact’ you desire, and if you want a side switch or tailswitch. I personally prefer a tailswitch and super simple UI on dedicated throwers - a lot of times just single mode - and a forward/momentary switch. Once the light is compact enough that it has a chance to actually be pocketed and carried in real life, I start to like having more modes/control.
IMO, these are my favorite throwers by size class (each ~5mm) and switch type (side vs rear). There are some gaps, but these are all lights that I have or consider having…
