What was your best flashlight of 2016

Eeeerm 67% off !!! I may have to get one. That’s sharp as.

Acebeam K70.

I do not have this killer throw item yet.

Don’t get one!!! Wait for the GT :+1:

1st Convoy L6, 2nd TN42, 3rd MH20GT :+1:

God damn…why’d you go and do that?

Ordered another LOL!!!

Not sure if the blf A6 qualifies as it debuted in 2015? Still love mine. Bought an astrolux S1 for a friend he takes it wherever he goes.

My choices are the copper Astrolux S3/Kronos X5 and the eagle eye X2r. I’ve bought 3 x2r for presents. With a protected battery, they’re virtually idiot proof. Like the neutral white tint too.

Agreed, I keep seeing the A6 and BLF348. Neither of these lights were released in 2016!

Convoy L6, no doubts about that. Price/performance ratio is astonishing. Add another $1 in mods (resistors) and you have 4000+ lm flashlight for less than $60.

Honorable mention: Nitecore MH20 nw, Noctigon Meteor M43.

M43 was last year as well. I remember trying to convince my wife to get one for last xmas. Needless to say, I still don’t own one :laughing:

BLF X5 and X6 copper and stainless edition.

Yeh, I didn’t even notice that. Just shows ya what an IMPACT some lights make. They live on and on. :+1:

Convoy L6

Convoy L6. Price, quality, performance and on top of all that, it looks amazing!

  1. Convoy L6, hands off. Best bang for the buck. And the lighting is good too.
    Special award for first shiny clear ano.
  2. Eagle Eye X2R for putting the Reloadable into my beloved S2+ size. (Still waiting for S2+R.)
  3. Astrolux S41/Manker E14. It lost a lot of its reputation but if you got a good one it is a very nice little light with a lot of power. A small quad powerhouse.
  4. Jaxman M8, a smaller, pocketable C8 (may be a 2015 light though...?)

Special mention: Convoy S2+ Nichia UV 365 nm. One of the best quality UV LEDs in a great flashlight body. Possibly the best ready-made budget UV light you can buy.

Doesn’t full price mean, “we set a totally unrealistic price so we can ” discount” it and sell it for normal or little above true value “?
$20 for a tube EDC seems pretty normal to me.

…there has been so many great lights this year that it is hard to make a choice…

The Convoy L6 is certainly in the top three “best value” lights.
The Astrolux S41 and S41S are beautiful compact quads with a copper head, but a tad pricey without a promo code.
The Astrolux A01 copper/nichia i like a lot too.
The Lumintop Tool Ti Reylight Nichia edition is a little expensive jewel i’m glad to have.

…now waiting to receive the Klarus Mi7 Ti and Lumintop Prince mini…

Torn between the BLF A6 and the MaxToch 2X Shooter. Both are revolutionary lights in their own way and both were built with BLF Member input in their design. Honorable mention to the BLF348 whose popularity in GB’s is unmatched at ~2000 units bought by us here :smiley:

It’s been a very good year for flashaholics :+1:

Exactly, I don’t like how they overprice their products (including manufacturers with their MAP).

Mine was the copper Astrolux A01.

I have to give a shout out to the Eagle Eye X2R as well, such a solid light for under $20.

Cant wait to see what comes out next year!

Jaxman Z1 XHP50 (best zoomie out there IMHO) & my most used light this year due to it”s versatility, & Thorfire S70 for a beast of a powerful light for the price.
