Best of 2022: Convoy L7 with 26800 tube extensions
You get a phenomenal beam profile with incredibly usable sustained outputs. In my estimation the 26800 cells actually improved the balance of the light along with the battery life. According to the 1Lumen review this light doesn’t step down past a certain point regardless of temp, but I have never felt the light get particularly hot compared to other lights I own. I’m ok with simply monitoring the temperature with my hands but I live in a more northern state with lower ambient temperatures. In southern regions perhaps this would be an issue.
What could be done to make it perfect for me:
- Use a lens with green AR coating instead of purple.
- Spend more time aligning the LED and reflector since the hotspot is a little bit lopsided (not really noticeable in normal use, I shined it at a wall indoors and made this discovery)
Wurkkos TS10 Brass
Sofirn SC 21 Pro - knocked out a light i really like - (FW3A original)
- smaller, cheap, and well made, they both have anduril
Wurkkos TS10 - red aux
Nightwatch NS73V1 - bargain blast of floody light
Hmm...
My EDC is the Convoy S16 with SFT40, and I got that in 2022, and I care more about my EDC than my other flashlights, so that's my choice.
Honorable mentioned goes to the RovyVon Aurora A23, which is my keychain flashlight.
All in all, 2022 was an excellent year for me and flashlights even though I didn't get a whole bunch of them.
(Updating my EDC and keychain flashlight is a big deal for me.)

Niche flashlight:
Antsonamelon RGB Critter
Wurkkos TS10. I have 4 now and love them!
Convoy M21B SFT40 MAO finish, when it’s ok to call a flashlight ‘sumptuous’. Close runner-up little brother M1 LH351D 4000K. Lighted switches installed, swap the bezels periodically for yin/yang affect.
Emisar D4K or Wurkkos TS10
Acebeam X75 MAO White 12 x XHP 70.3 HI
Another vote for Wurkkos TS10. I have five. The tech and features packed into these little gems for a measly $20 is astounding to me.

Tough choice… On one hand its the fivemega 2x18500 FM1794 but on the other I’m very very pleased with my Hanks DW4 (519a 4500k dedomed and boost driver) and my Wizard C2 Pro Nichia.
Final Answer Wizard C2 Pro Nichia. Its not a cool as the DW4 but its the one I grab when the car needs repaired, the sink leaks or I’m heading up north. At least for now.
