The SK-68 is an obvious good budget choice, with a distinctive shape to help define the banner.
The Skyray King is the only worthwhile “photon grenade” at budget prices, and is quite photogenic.
The XinTD C8 is a great budget compact hybrid thrower.
However, I’d probably include the Zebralight H51. It’s not exactly a budget light, but I find it more useful than all my other lights combined so it seems worth its price. Sometimes it’s worth getting one really great light instead of a bunch of just-good lights.
Other nice options are the HD2010, any of a variety of 1xAAA keychain lights, and a cigar-sized 1x18650 tube light like HD2011 or Convoy S2/S3 or similar.
But my personal favorites are ZL H51, XinTD C8, SRK, and SK-68.
I’m almost afraid to see what will be created in the next year or two though; I may have to buy more lights to keep up with the latest best-of-class items!
3.a) Solarforce L2T (seems to be the most popular P60 host)
b) HD2010
c) An actual P60 drop-in. (preferably a beautiful Vinz one) d) Nitecore Smilodon?
Just a funny idea but why not puttting them all there.
Just some rules how to photograph them (e.g. in front of white wall with cola can for size reference)
so someone can cut them out and size them correct then cut and stitch.
Yeah sorry, sometimes the brainstorm widget doesn’t seem to resize the scrollable contents correctly to the bottom of the frame. I fixed it for you and transferred your vote, ChiggerPepi.
