What lights do I need in my collection?

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)

I really like Fenix lights, most of them come from their Aliexpress store
Good price and high quality flashlights.
I think any collection should have a Convoy, a Fenix and a Tool AAA.

I had 4 convoys, down to one (2 sold, one died), Fenix costs too much, i agree they are very good lights but my budget would cover one Fenix or 3 other lights.

Coming back to this thread, i did buy the Wurkkos WK30, arrived today, its in covid quarantine before i open it.

I find i miss my XM-L Convoy M1, not sure if i should replace it with an upgraded Convoy M1 or something in a similar form factor (it seemed to have about the perfect all purpose light form factor).

Also for a tube light i miss my XM-L Convoy S2.

I am considering the Convoy M21B and S21A but apparently the S21B can’t hold full lumens long and has a green tint and presumably the M21B would have the same green tint issue.

So no decisions yet. Looking for an all purpose light with lots of lumens and a tube light the same. Both in 21700 preferably. Suggestions are welcome.

Wurkkos DL70. I paid $65 with tax, but it came with batteries. It is submersible, super bright, lots of bright spill but still has a useful hotspot.

I was torn, being new to Wurkkos, but it is so good for the money I purchased 4 other smaller wurkkos lights.

I would just get the D4v2 aluminum with raised switcb and Nichia 219b sw35 or Nichia 219b sw45k emitter and call it a day. You will spend $50, if you want floody optics add and/or magnetic tail cap add a few more dollars.

You’ll have a pocket rocket with one of the best emitters. If you want to get both sw35 and sw45k you would still be at $100.

That is a lot of lumens :blush:
Its not in the cards right now, two batteries, higher cost, not an EDC type light
But someday :partying_face:
