What lights do I need in my collection?

Thanks, Amazon prices are not very good, ordering from China is much cheaper than buying from Amazon.

Interesting light but it eats my entire light budget.

Right now i am looking for a UV light and a Olight S2 replacement.
A 26650 light if more of my lights sell would be nice as well.

A nice UV option would be the Wurkkos WK30, it has a nice 365um emitter, a very nice 5000K white emitter (samsung LH351D) and a powerful red emitter all in 1 package so it satisfies the need for UV and red.
I recently reviewed it here, I wasn’t sure about it at first, but now I love it.Wurkkos WK30 "on the job" review

What an interesting light, and checks off several boxes.
Its near the top of my list now :slight_smile:

So i’m looking at getting these lights:

Wurkkos WK30

And one of these, undecided which:

Wurkkos FC11
https://wurkkos.com/products/fc11-usb-c-rechargeable-led-flashlight-18650-1300lm-lh351d-with-magnetic-tail-2-groups?VariantsId=10009
or
Sofrin SC31 Pro
https://sofirnlight.com/products/sofirn-sc31ro-2000-lumen-rechargeable-edc-flashlight-w-o-battery

I don't know anything about the Wurkkos FC11.

What's the ramping like?

A good question.

Also the Wurkkos has a 26650 battery for a few bucks more, anyone know if its a no name battery or a rewrap of a decent brand?

Do get a Sofirn C01S. The tiny twistky is an interesting contrast to the giantic Astrolux MF04S with a long extension tube for 4+4 18650 cells.

As for a UV light, I would suggest getting Wurkkos WK30, which is on sale now on Sofirn Official Store in Ali Express for just about US$24.

Happy flashlight shopping!

I’m good for 1AAA, i have on Olight I3e.

The WK30 is what i plan on getting, just waiting to see if it goes on sale for July 4th.

Hi RC…
Did you use UV emitter or utilising a black UV lens?

A Acebeam k75 or thrunite tn40s or even a Mateminco mt70plus would be great. Where can I find a Maxbeam.

Yes they would but are way out of my price range.

I used a UV emitter.

More specifically, I used Manafont's popular P60 UV drop in.

It was very popular many years ago--I don't know about now.

Yes there expensive the thrunite tn40s has doubled since I purchased it. You could check Illumn for the k75 ask if and sales are going on.

Its too far out of my price range :frowning:

Save your change I just purchased a BLFGT94, and 70 percent came from a change jar.I have been putting change in it for 5 years.I know this because I used my change jar 5 years ago to buy a boxer puppy. So it adds up.

It does look like a good light but its not in the cards for me right now. $25-30 for 3 lights is what i am looking at, i am waiting to see if there are any July 4 sales but at the moment i am planning on the Wurkkos WK30 and Sofrin SC31 Pro. Which should leave me some cash for another light if i find something that augments my collection.

You should definitely check out Convoy. Look for Simon’s store on Aliexpress, it the official Convoy store on Aliexpress, Jimo

Slugs live in my garden. They glow very unusually under ultraviolet light.

Slugs and snails I got much more than I want in my garden, I’ll check them out with the UV but up till now they didn’t stand out while garden-playing with the UV-light, maybe some do and some don’t?

Btw Bort, Sofirn is already having sales, they even gave us some extra coupons to use (on Ali), I just bought me a Sofirn IF25S for just over 20 euro, I’d call that a sale!

officialy Convoy store (the only one I would ever buy from, this is Simons store)
