Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

Too bad it has that UI :frowning: Seems quite pleasant to the eyes, though :wink:

At that price, it's probably worth the risk to try and mod. Certainly would immediately swap the LED if nothing else, I'd expect a LatticeBright. The only thing giving me pause is the built-in charging, but I'd honestly be fine with losing that if it came down to it. Or maybe I'd just finally take the opportunity to do a charger myself.

Yup, the USB is the probably the thing that would hold me back, due to the lights architecture in that place. I never modded a light with USB charging. Still, if a driver could fit in the place with no further modifications, this is a pretty light to add the collection!

And for sure, the LED would need a replacement!!

I found a new brand (i guess so). All looks nice and modfriendly. And there are many options to choose from.
26650, xhp35 hi with smo reflector or xhp50 with op.

18650, sst20 or xm-l2

21700, xm-l2, sst40, xp-l hi, xhp35 hi

And this looks familiar

March flashlight has existed for about 3yrs now. Their lights are pretty affordable like Convoy.

I wasn’t here 3 years ago…

KLARUS HC3 is a rebrand model SUNREX H100 (2018)

Me neither :wink:

The TR-A10 is a very interesting light with the power bank feature. I would buy it if they had a 21700 version. 26650 is just not pocketable enough.

Supfire D15

X60-T 26650 Zommie

Nightwatch NSX3 with triple 50.2, 40.2 or sst20.

Yummy. Very appetizing.
Recently I found other interesting triple from WildTrail, here

Don' think i have the time for it, but I believe Neal will provide me with a deal later.

Since Enogear website is gone and several people have been asking about the famous Enogear Stainless Steel AA, there is now a similar one from Amutorch. I’m not sure if it is easily modable like the Enogear AA. I modded several of the Enogear AA and AAA with Optisolis and E21A, which were some of the easiest mods I’ve done.



Doesn’t look as good as the Enogear but close enough.

A picture stolen on reddit : amutorch and enogear.
Yes the enogear AA looks much better IMO.

Today I saw that AA/18650 interesting zoomie from NICRON:

Nicron AA

IMO it’s the opposite. :slight_smile:

I’m with Agro. The Enogear has a more aggressive design. I like the subdued looks of the Amutorch. Just what I need… another one for the wishlist. :person_facepalming:

I reviewed it some time ago (it was my first review actually), it is not completely new/now!
It is a good looking light, but I think the one from Enogear was more appealing.
The Amutorch S3 comes with XPG3, has 3 modes, has whining with Li-Ion cells on Low and Medium, has a thin aluminum pill, narrow TIR optic!

Here are the review threads:

Comparison: Stainless Steel AA Flashlight – Amutorch XPG3-S3 vs “Neal’s” Nichia 219C (comparison with the same light with Nichia 219C sent by Neal)

Here it is alongside with other AA lights:
