Many worthy mentions this last year:
Olight s15R: ease of Charging (though, worryingly, did have an already quirky one burn its driver!, but not when charging)
Olight S1: Tiny Tiny Tiny and bright too on standard Li-Ion batteries.
Imalent SA04: AA batteries, variable light temperature and a groovy LCD Screen. Good Low Low, and a High High!
BLF X6: Nearly there, not quite up to expectation (low and high modes not as extreme as requested). Beatufil build and nice presentation box (when not labelled / taped over)
Eagle Eye X6R: Beautifully built and packaged (probably a Convoy Supplier/Manufacturer), though, again, a slight disappointment, the USB charging port did come off the board inside one!
Eagle Eye X6Hi: XP-L Hi with warmer tones available, lovely feel and Build Quality, good thrower for its size. Delivered in a BOX! with a presentation box inside
Nitecore MH20 NW: a Pocket Rocket, nice fit and finish. Sturdy USB charging socket.
Convoy S2+: Hosts and lights, especially in the grey/red/blue/green colours, and of course the 18350 coloured tubes too were a particular highlight for me.
And this years worthy winner (for the non-coding non-electronic Wizz-Kid Muggles among us)
BLF A6: An amazing EDC in Shorty format, and impressive in 18650.
LOVED the Bare Aluminium Option, especially in 18350 Shorty format, have 2 on me at all times on keys etc. Driver delivers 98% of promised low and high modes, and a real treat on a Budget.
I’ve probably missed a light or 2!
Cheers,
