So far I have not spend a lot of money on Flashlights in 2020. Mostly AAA.
But I like to roam the web looking for items I missed (or could not afford) in the past.
Preferably NIB.
And I found this SS Solarforce X3 AAA light (no link). And now they are gone!
Performance-wise it is a bit outdated. But who cares! Just the wonderful feel of it!
AAA, the Manker E02II.
AA, Manker T02
CR123, Manker E04
18350, Sofirn SP40
18650, Emisar D4V2
21700, astrolux EC03
26650, astrolux FT03
Top Bill Spot
KR4 - Only light i use everyday, without exception. Its a beast, ive dropped it probably 100 times, the paint is wearing at the “seams”, its looking like a proper used light, and as hard as its hit the pavement numerous times it is still 100% reliable. and Bright. and easy to use. oh, that deep carry clip really just makes it faaaantastic. Hank killed it with this one. now just make us a Copper version, Please!
Favorite Purchase / Biggest surprise
Convoy M21a (w/ CSLPM1) - Just a great sized small thrower, sand ano is really nice. Mechanical switch is a great feel. I am convince it throws the same and has as Great Spill as my L21a CULPM1 to the point where i took then both apart to make sure they didnt have the same LED in them. Also 21700 battery lasts forever, and it doesnt heat up quickly at all compared to my other Osram Lights. For under $25USD, this light is porbably my favorite purchase of the year! Holster carry in the EC03 holster.
Others
Lumintop X9l - just awesome. really impressive for size, more than most others. Love this light.
Astroux EC01 (xhp50) - just surprising how much throw and spill this “little” light has! Charging and 21700 battery life. would buy again if it were in stock, but i have the sst40 coming in to compare it to.
I’m a big Convoy fan, but my FT03 and a cheapo D10 headlight got the most use of the 2020 lights.
Convoy C8+ Osram. Sure the hotspot is tiny, but the distance.
I only bought two lights so far this year, and one of them is still in the mail.
So that leaves the Sofirn IF25A winner by default.
Lumintop x9L just so much fun to play with I can’t leave it alone.
Lumintop FW21 X9L
Have you tried the L21a osram yet?
im chiming in - its amazing! it was the first convoy i bought (along with m21a cslpm1).
So far, the Sofirn SC31 PRO has the top spot..
Updated the list till here. Will share the list at the end.
Keep them coming!
D4v2 with either 3500k or 4500k E21A emitters; a reasonably efficient cc driver and Anduril; stainless steel bezel and raised switch ring; choice of 18650 and 18350 tubes. It ticks off everything and has the nicest tint; a great all-round EDC.
AAA: Sofirn C01s
AA: Enogear SS
18650: FW3A
21700: FW21Pro & X9L
Multi: YLP G180
Headlamp: Wurkkos HD20
Won a SC31 Pro from a giveaway and I’m in love. Small EDC size with Anduril, button light, good output.
Right now I’m looking for a more stylish light, just for funsies. Something with AUX leds maybe? Some colour other than black anodized alu.

For me, 2020 is the most boring year since I started this hobby in 2011.
I have seen no interesting flashlight that I would like to buy in this year… but I hope Fireflies release NOV-MU 21*Nichia E21A before the new year, and I would buy it.
The only two flashlights I received in 2020 are LT1 (due to slow delivery as it was buyed in 2019) , and FW1A thanks to giveaway.
The first one I like very much)
really? surely since 2011 alot has happend…. i would say alot of interesting lights has been released then almost 10 years ago xd
These are my favorites:
Sofirn SP40 Headlamp Green
Lumintop Tool AA 2.0

Astrolux EC01 SST40 5000K (mid-range thrower)
