"Overbuilt" Flashlights (Not a brand name)

Hmm maybe I shall rename the thread haha

How about HDS?

HDS lights are supposedly very conservatively driven. Like only 200 lumens or so. But they use a LOT of aluminum. This makes them quite durable. In testing HDS, supposedly the developer threw the light down onto concrete from 30 feet up. Repeatedly. Did it non-stop for something like an hour. It got banged up but still worked fine.

Durability and reliability is the main selling point of HDS, but it isn’t cheap. Expect a typical HDS light to cost a few hundred dollars. And they’re not small. A 1xCR123 HDS is bigger than a 1x18650 Zebralight SC62.

Personally, I like UranusBuilt flashlights.

I'd that that they're almost the best out there.

Yeah, they're a solid number two. :evil:

You know, thats a really expensive flashlight and it doesn’t actually has cooling fins. Armytek is beefy too but I don’t really dig the design. I need something with lots of cooling fins but not of the trustfire types.

Uranusbuilt? You gotta link for that??

No, but I really wish I did. :)

Trustfire TR-J20?

Heaps of cooling fins and heavy

Oh no no I’m looking for a single emitter or max 3 emitters… sorry if I left it out in the OP

Nothing like a solid number two to get your day started!

Hahah it starts my day every time everyday and always at 8am

Solid, but not too solid :bigsmile: .

haha all good. No need to be sorry :slight_smile:

Any of his lights are simple and nearly indestructible.

Man, thats another expensive brand name!

The stainless convoy is built like a tank, not very good at cooling, but very sturdy

Yeah I’ve seen those but I want something LARGE! hahaha IDK why but I juz like those big lights built like a tank :party:

Defiant Unbreakable at Home Depot

Sinners lights are pretty much over-built. But they border on “custom pricing” by the time you outfit it with an engine.

The Copper model is very heavy for it’s size. Heat sinking from end-to-end.

He (Sinner) has mentioned making a P60 model.

Be interesting if that has the same stout construction. Really interesting if in Cu.

These are kinda beefy for ButtFire lights.
