1. My best light of 2017 is probably the BLF Q8...... Because.......its the only light I bought for myself in 2017 :D And I havent even used it properly.
2. BLF GT? But I haven`t received it yet, so would have to wait and see if it should be on next year`s list ;)
Thank you for continuing the tradition.
It is really fun to see what lights made the list in the past years! It`s a nice sum up of flashlight history on BLF!!!
This years winners are definitely the Emisar lights (D4, D1, D1S) and Astrolux MF-01.
Emisar D4 for me. Runner up would be the BLF Q8.
My TOP THREE:
1. Emisar D1/D4
2. Nitecore TIP 2017
3. Olight Smini stainless steel
Emisar D4
BLF Q8
BLF GT, when it arrives…
Bugger!!
It seems D4 pop up every post and I’m yet to own one 
Only the upcoming FW3A (and my bank balance) is holding me back.
My vote goes for Q8, I don’t think the GT should count for 2017 since it is not in production yet.
my top 3
#1:emisar d4
#2:BLF GT
#3:Astrolux mf-01
it’s already produced, and ready to ship now, first shipped to customer will still be in 2017
Sorry I missed that. Still a bit late though, I don’t see how an item can be voted for already as a 2017 item without any actual production run owners.
I need to get me some of these lights. I have my name on the list for the BLF GT.
Anybody know where I can get a XP-L HI V3 1A ? MTN have the V2 whats the differance.
thx
Can’t be just one favorite. Mine are the following in no specific order.
Emisar D4 XP G flavor
Acebeam L16
Klarus XT12GT
Astrolux MF01
Haikelite HT35
Oh man, you need one of those bad boys. Get the cool white version, much brighter than the Nichia and very nice color.
Two clear winners here:
1) Emisar D4 (219C Grainy Cyan with floody optics)
2) Astrolux MF01 (219C Version 2)
My list would entail:
My S2+ was done in 2016, so won’t count towards the list this year.
BLF Q8
Emisar D4, D1, and D1S
Convoy L6
I’m really, really happy with my Convoy L6 3A. I’m also a fan of the Emisar D4, but the D1 is much more useful for me when I walk my dog, and once I can afford it I’ll need to try the D1s.
Of course, the year is not over yet - with the Astrolux MF-02 on its way, and possibly Giggles depending on when it arrives! :smiling_imp:
EDIT: Of course, the Q8 is another must-have light for the near future!
EDIT 2: I’ll add my name to those people who have mentioned the MF-01, and the Olight S Mini… need to stop thinking about it, or I’ll probably list half my collection! 
But the two that I’m definitely going to buy again are the Convoy L6 and Emisar D1.
Q8 most useful
D4 most fun
Hmmm so much choice for 2017, but since this is BLF ( budget), I will go with those that my wallet love the most.
1.Sofirn SP31 ( best value for the buck)
2.Sofirn C8T ( amazing throw)
3.Klarus XT2CR ( 1600 lumen great future’s)
4.BLF GT ( our own child)
1. BLF Q8 - what cant this light do?
2 Skilhunt H03 - (this is my most often used light so it cant be left out)
3. Emisar D4 - cause you know it rocks
4. Olight R50 seeker Pro - - This thing just oozes quality… I didn’t even order this light, Olight sent it to me by accident…I didn’t think I would like it, but I love it.
