…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
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.
Mine is the Reylight Ti I Host. It’s only partially built so far (I haven’t decided what to build in the light engine yet.) Nevertheless it’s a pretty light & a nice quality host if you like to fiddle around.
There are some online options and some offline. If it is convenient and easy to order the desired lights online then you check out the online solutions as available. It is good to select the company that is an expert in these products and that would send you across the very best lights.
Klarus XT11GT for me this year, keep in mind i do own BLF A6, Convoy L6 and many other good budget yet bright option but the innovation on the Klarus XT11GT is something impressive, having the ability to operate from the sideswitch grip to tactical reverse grip is something you dont really see from other flashlight.
Manker U11 - for it’s versatility, power in a small package, built-in charging. To go for a trip - just need to take this light and standard phone charger, that’s it. For most occasional users it’s perfect.
Astrolux A01 - almost perfect keychain light, finally with high CRI. Need more of those. I wish it was not a twisty…
BLF X5 and X6 - power & beauty…and great modes and everything is nice in those lights.
Olight H1 - don’t have it yet, but I’m in a remote love with this little one Waiting for delivery…
Eagle Eye X2R - best proposal for an ordinary, unexperienced user.
I'm gonna be the odd ball here with older models that only clones are left.
I built my first 2 lights this year. An sk68 and an sk98. Both were total garbage so I gutted both and asked all the right questions. Thanks to all of you both lights are EDC used at work and blow everything around them totally away
If I listed all the details on both it would take the entire page. Basics upgraded emitters in both and boards. Even the o-rings are changed. pills smoothed and polished. No part inside is the same.
Thanks to Mountain Electronics and all of you both were a total success. I have even sold 4 or 5 that are being completed now.
