Recommendation flashlight

Hi to all,
I have lost my fenix pd35 and I would like to buy another one but I see that is expensive light these days.
I had my pd 35 about 10 years.
I would like to recomend me a similar flashligt (not so expensive as pd35 or pd35 tac) with tail switch, momentary mode, remember last mode, head diametre about 25mm, working with 18650 or 21700 battery.
If it has usb port will be ok. If anyone knows any place to buy a fenix pd35 with better price please pm.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my english :slight_smile:

I would go with the sofirn sp31v2 here

Have you got this? Is this a good light ?
My budget is about $40
Thanks!

As long as you can wait two or three months for the light to arrive from China, you’ll be very happy with that Sofirn, especially comparing it to the PD35.

Fénix uses quality efficient drivers. If you want something similar in performance at a lower price, look at the Thrunite TC15.

Thrunite TC15 seems very nice but have not tail switch, only side switch.
Btw I have purchased sofirn sp31 v2.0 before a week and I am waiting for receive it.

I am wondering if there is a better choice out there.
If I am happy with sofirn I will stay with it.
Also I am searching for a nitecore with a lower price

The sp31v2 should be on amazon as well. I have one and a Fenix UC35.
I think i’m going to sell the fenix, the light output between the 2 lights is very similar.
The sofirn is a little lighter,smaller, will tail stand and 1/3rd the price.
The fenix tail switch is a little better (a little lag on the sofirn) and it has a lower ‘moonlight’, maybe slightly better throw.

Thank you for your reply!

Wowtac A1 or A1s. Wowtac is a sub brand of thrunite.

Hi, Yes I do. I’m very happy with it :slight_smile: I was originally looking for a cheaper fenix lookalike as well. Kind of how I ended up on this forum.

Interesting but difficult for me to buy it

Thank you man!

Don’t know in which country you are. But its available in most amazon sites:

The Wuben i332 (16340) definitely has momentary and ticks all the boxes. Not sure if the TO46R (18650) as momentary mode, but I imagine most Wubens do.

Doubt it can be found, but the ED20-T had a dual-switch tail that had incredibly easy access to momentary, and was bright as Hell.

Else get a sideswitch light that runs Narsim or Andouille, as they have momentary mode in the UI.

Thanks for your help!
