My propositions

- Thrunite V6
My propositions
Without a doubt Imalent r90c….
My view with budget flashlights and good performance should go to:
*Thrower: *MF01
Flood: MF02 with FET Narsil firmware or Hakelite MT03 with FET Narsil firmware.
Emisar D4S XPL HI V2-3A
Almost perfect lantern.
Most definitely Thrunite Cata V6, BLG GT
Hmm… I don’t know if it quite counts, but I’d say the best one I got in 2018 was a FW3A. It’s the main light I’ve been using all year.
However, some others are also quite nice:
The D4S and ROT66 were both surprises, because I didn’t think either one sounded very nice but they’re unexpectedly good.
In 2017, I think the best ones I got were:
Going back farther, some which stand out are…
Sorry for the extra-long answer. I kinda missed, um, every prior version of this thread.
No1. Nitecore Concept 2
No2. Thrunite Catapult V6
Lumintop BLF GT
FireFlies ROT66 (219B)
Sofirn C01 (3200K)
Copper S2+
For me it is the BLF Q8.
Great thread, ChibiM

2. Virence quad Nichia E21A version of the Armytek Tiara C1 (with optional 18650 tube).
3. Barbolight Apollo APFL1 penlight.
Edit: how could I forget my Apollo penlight
It was won, not bought, but Olight M2R Warrior is my choice (according to my tastes and use)!
I have a Convoy S2+ triple that I adore.
They're usually are out of my price range, but I got it used pretty cheap.
I can't wait for the FW3A, the potentially best flashlight (for me) of some other year!
So hard to decide. I bought so many great lights ( mostly from reading about them here ) I suppose the D4s. No wait the BLF C8 or the Convoy S2 triple. Or maybe…
Emisar D4S XP-L HI 3A
DX80.
sofirn sf10 v2.0 blue
Fireflies ROT66 (SST20 4000k 95 cri w/ Lee 804 filter; 219B SW45K R9080)
Thrunite Catapult V6 NW
my best flashlight doesn’t change much over the years… it’s always…
Tho I do have a new worst flashlight this year… Fenix LD02 v2, this light should never have left the drawing board…
Best light I bought in 2018 was the older ZL SC62w. Was lucky to find one NIB
