Perhaps you are misunderstanding the “budget” part of Budgetlightforum. We are flashlight enthusiasts who enjoy good quality flashlights. Most of what you present here is of no interest to me and I feel safe to say to many or most of us. The Tanje HST006 “falshlight” is a $7 plastic 320lm flashlight that I can’t imagine anyone here buying as with many of the flashlights you show here. It would be better for your business if you showed lights we would be interested in.
I don’t mean to speak for others or for the forum. My apologies to anyone enthralled with the Tanje HST006.
Actually, I wonder if fasttech was able to offer some more of the latest craze. Lately, I discovered that on Chinese flashlight communities (e.g. Baidu) there are lots of interesting new models from Nightwatch, OnTheRoad or Amutorch. Some of them use latest LEDs like SFT40 or Chinese emitters like SFN55.2 or SFS80. All these models are listed on Taobao only. I doubt there's any chance for non-Asian customers to buy these. The only retailer who sometimes offer one or two of these new lights is Neal Zhang (nealsgadgets.com) but I would be happy to see more buying options.
Thank you for your opinion and suggestion. We will try the best to update more good quality flashlights to our customers in the future. Would you mind telling us in which brands of flashlights you are interested? We can update regularly the new arrival of these brands.
Thank you for providing us the information. I will forward this to our product team for marketing evaluation. We also want to offer more and various flashlights to our customers. Your information and suggestions are valuable for us. Thanks.

You already carry some well known and reputable brands although Fasttech very often doesn’t have the complete lines and the latest models. You could post the new arrivals of these good quality flashlights as well as check on brands carried on other platforms as per Lux-Perpetua’s suggestion. You could also reintroduce Lumintop if that is possible. Hopefully you could have products to post here that are of interest to the flashlight enthusiast community as many you currently post are not.
Perhaps you could take a look at the forum(s) to see what flashlights members are interested in.
I agree with the first comment. Rusty Joe’s is an example of some products that are very different then a lot of the weird cheap stuff I see.
That’s not to dogpile on, I just had an order at about $100 for 2 lights from this thread. But please don’t make me unsubscribe because of really low quality stuff that even the MOST budget enthusiasts are not interested in buying.
