Your coolest / best / favorite flashlight of 2022

This Quad Nichia 219B in 4500K CRI 92 dropin including this host.

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.)

Conventional flashlight:
Convoy S21D 8A 60degree 519A 5700k.

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.

Weltool W4Pro
Nightwatch Chaos NS59v2
Wurkkos TS10

Red GT Nano

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.

Wurkkos TS10 has my vote.

No lights purchased in 2022, so no winner.

Can I add a headlamp? My favourite and most useful 2022 light purchase was a Sofirn D25L “high CRI” version of their headlamp.

I have the same host. It is quite nice, just one sharpish edge on the machining.

But very welcome to see a 21700 p60 host being produced.

I went with the SST-40 quad 4000k drop-in. Quite a heavy setup with the larger battery. Only real gripe is the mode memory on the drop-in!!!

I want to know more about this finish, what is it?

Although newest so first to mind, top spot is:

Wurkkos TS10 Nichia 5800K 98CRI

Close 2nd, I would have used more if the lens hadn’t broken in transit (got the replacement last week):

Convoy L8 Luminus SBT90.2 5700K

Next three are honourable mentions, pretty sure new (even if just the LED) in 2022:

Sofirn LT1 Mini Samsung LH351D 2x 2700K, 2x 5000K 90CRI
Zebralight SC600w Mk IV Plus HI Cree XHP50.3 4500K 90CRI
Convoy T4 Nichia 519A 4500K

These are new to me this year and pretty happy with them, not sure if new in 2022:

Convoy L21A Getian GT-FC40 3000k-3200k
Convoy M21A Luminus SFT40 6500K
