List of the best Floody Flashlights - hard to find???

I’m sorry about the spelling but English isnt my native lang.

97 % of my lighting need is flood light. The trick is to understand what you need, and how brighy it needs to be.
My only use of a trhower is to scan of fealds and trea line for vild animals. In flood use find that betwen 200 - 400 lumens cover my need for light but its nice to be able to hit a 1000-3000 lumen when you need it.

Floody light: Blf A6/ Astrilux S1 small and easy to cary, 1 18650 and mode from sub lumen to 1200+ lumen.

Imalent Dn70 good flooder, big step betven modes but 300 lumen is in the midle. Inkluded battery and usb charging.

Olight R50 Seeker good floder. Inkluding battery and usb charging.

Emisar D4 is good but it gets hot fast.

A headlamt that is floody and then a handheld light with some throw is what i use when dog walking.

The size of the lights is how hott it gets and how long you can keep it i higer mode.

Dont forget the MT-G2 emitter.

the MM15 was a fantastic floddy light and now should be a lower price because it is not brand new anymore.

My all time multi use light is still the nitecore p36

Banggood is restocking this bad boy: Niwalker Nova MM15 2x MT-G2 P0 5233LM Helligkeit 6 Modi LED Taschenlampe 18650 Sale - Banggood Deutschland sold out-arrival notice-arrival notice

Price is already much lower than a couple of years ago.
Haikelite also has a nice MT-G2 light that is very affordable, especially with discount: https://www.banggood.com/HaikeLite-MT01-Trekker-MT-G2-2000LM-Outdoor-LED-Flashlight-BlackWhite-p-1191474.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
… But there are some reliability issues with Haikelite drivers though…

Emisar D4 or Jaxman E2L with the respective cloudy wide-beam optic. Stock optic isn’t very floody Int-outdoor offers the D4 with the wide optic.
Convoy S2+ with 60 degree pebbled TIR is one of the floodiest lights I own still and is very budget friendly.

Eagtac SX25L3 MT-G2 (even better with the diffuser included in the YRGB kit)
Emisar D4 with the floody optic
Zebralight floody models with the frosted lens
Acebeam EC50-II has a nice smooth beam too

My favorites:
Large = Acebeam X45 (Cree XHP70.2)
Medium = Manker MK34 (Nichia 219b)
Small = Emisar D4 (Nichia 219c)

I love the q8 and i also have a thrunight tn36 ut its awsome.

Take a look and se for your self. Good vids.

Lots of good info.

I agree with Jtm94. I don’t have a D4 (yet, in the mail currently) but I have a Jaxman E2L and I love it for an all around light that doesn’t go through my batteries as quickly. Also, this comes with no memory and always starts on low, which I prefer since you don’t get that surprise of turbo mode right when you turn it on. I haven’t switched out the optic but that would be an easy thing to do if you want more flood.

As an alternative to a dedicated floody light, have you considered adding a diffuser to an existing flashlight? That way, you can use it either way.

For a cheap and good diffuser, I like to make them out of the diffuser sheet found inside old LCD display panels. Instead of throwing out that old smartphone or laptop, take the display apart and use the really efficient layer of diffuser film found inside.

It’s just a thin plastic sheet. Easily cut to any shape with scissors. Cut out a disc, and press it on to the end of your flashlight lens. You can use a little bit of tape to hold it in place, if needed.

It works really well to produce a nice even floody beam.

Great ideas

I live in the tropics near the coast and it’s around 30 degrees Celsius here most of the year and very humid. Steel rusts very fast and electronics don’t last long here.

I would love to try high capacity Li-ion batteries but I read that they don’t last long in these conditions.

I need something simple, solid, rugged, shockproof, waterproof, dust-proof, under 50 Euros and hope to get 5 years life out of it before it gets consumed by the super aggressive, hot, salty, humid weather here. Maybe I should look for a diving torch even though I don’t dive?…

Ultrafire DIV05v.

Diving light (so waterproof, dustproof, and everythingproof), but unlike the regular DIV05, this one’s a mule, no optics in front, just the LED in all its floody goodness.

The ‘v’ is for video, so there’s no hotspot, spill, corona, no artifacts at all, just pure flood, so you get a nice even blanket of light for underwater videography.

Oh yeah, it works above water, too. :smiley:

Led lenser lights make almost perfectly uniform flood:

You can also zoom into a perfect spot with no spill.
.
.
There are also certain flashlights that have a bare LED with no reflector or lens which can only do spill but have an extremely wide angle, almost 180 degrees:

As for penlights; my Klarus P20 is pure flood.

I would like to add to this flood light list also Klarus G20.
Relatively small, compact and extremely powerful super wide “26650” floody light. One of those which illuminate half of a football playground. Pure flood.

My three best flooders, AKA wall lights, are the X7, the Q8 and my modded 6x Skyray. :+1: :smiley:

I ordered a Convoy S2+ and a Manker E12 so far.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a similar edc floody flashlight but I want one with a battery included. The noctigon or emisar ones don’t come with a battery and I’m overwhelmed with choices on unprotected high drain batteries and don’t know what charger I should get. I don’t care too much about lm output. 1000lm will be good enough for me. Also, need a lockout function.

Flashlight - Convoy S2+ LH351D (5A/12 group).
Battery - 3500mAh 18650 Panasonic NCR18650GA, Samsung 35E, Molicell M35A, or LG MJ1.
Charger - XTAR VC2S or VC4S.
