I like that he takes a flashlight out to a sports field or to a forest-like area. Sometimes he spots deer, rabbits, and even a fox once. Plus he shines the flashlight on his backyard from a second floor window, so it’s easy to compare how different flashlights beams look in the same target area.
I do prefer some over others, for ex: my eyes glaze over a bit when some review a light (regardless of how bad/cheap the light is) and they have nothing but good things to say about it.
Thanks for those other channels!
And also David sunshine, he goes into serious depth with his reviews. Made alot of purchases off his recommendations, all of which ive been super happy with.
I agree on these and also AdventureSportFlashlights (BLF member vestureofblood ) Mr. Baz, Flashaholics, David Sunshine.
I also enjoyed a recent review of the Thrunite TC20 by this guy: bushcraftbartons
I especially like David Moore’s reviews (BLF member Robo218) I like how all his reviews follow the same theme, and the “Rock Out” slideshow segment is particularly enjoyable to me.

I recently bought a Roku streaming stick and downloaded the YouTube app. went from viewing these on a PC or smartphone screen to a 50in. LED TV.
This totally changed everything for me and has really added a whole new dimension to watching YT flashlight reviews. Comparable to watching a movie or TV show while relaxing on my living room couch. And so much better using the Roku remote to pause/FF/replay compared to a mouse and keyboard.
I’m not really too familiar with all the YT flashlight reviewers yet as I hadn’t been watching many, but with this set up I’ll be watching them a lot more now.
I like every reviewer that uses his/her time to help me decide what (not) to buy.
Not really a review but I really like this list Parametrek Flashlights
It shows two things I’m really missing in reviews. Lumen/watt and beam angle. For me lumen/watt is one of the measures of quality and could be a reason to buy the more expensive light while the other specs look quite average.
It sometimes gives a nice impression of the beam.
Sometimes because many ‘reviews’ are just unboxing and reading what’s already on the box.
Stuff like dimensions can usually found about everywhere. But output is a whole different thing.
For example: For me the output at Turbo is the time the light runs at Turbo before stepping down.
So if the light runs 3 minutes at 3800 turbo and then steps down to 1800 and stays at that level voor 500 years, then turbo is 3 minutes for me. Not some weird standard that measures until the output reaches 10% or something like that.
And exactly that is what I like about reviews on BLF. It’s real life performance that counts.
Currently I’m looking for a flashlight with good output. I found a few that look really good in advertising. Basically all I was looking for. But after reading reviews I won’t even consider buying those $100+ lights for more than $20.
