Good grief, I bet that took a while! Thank you Fin17!!

[Woody]

Great work Fin.

[Petr_J]

Perfect. Everything in one place.

[Serlite]

Great compilation! Should we suggest reviews for less-popular lights that may have been overlooked?
One that comes to mind is the Boruit D10.

Can’t believe you put in this much time and work, THANKS. This thread will be bookmarked.

EDIT: Oops… the SP33 is a 26650 light.

Nice list

[peg_matite]

OK now where’s the 26650 list?…

Great job!

[ChrisGarrett]

Thanks for your time and effort, as it’s vastly appreciated.

[Lightbringer]

I’d suggest the HS-802, but they’re sold by a number of different mfrs.

Eg, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QH0IB4/ .

[Street-Light]

I really appreciate this! I’ve been looking for a replacement light for a few weeks now, and this really helps.
Thank you so much!!!
