(triple?)XP-L HI relatively small thrower with max current rating of ~6Amp, thermally regulated, sublumen moonmode and beacon mode. Add a USB charging port, that can also be used as a backup USB charging port. To charge your cellphone for instance. With voltage indicator in any form and waterproof.
A good quality, fairly inexpensive 18650-based “zoomie”, that is, a good quality flood at one end and a good quality thrower/search light at the other end. It can be single-mode as it’s meant to be a single piece/multiple function outside nighttime flashlight that can transition from up-close needs to “what’s-going-on-way-over-there?”.
Glow in the dark portion of the body option that can be turned on/off. Doesn’t have to be too bright just bright enough to find the flashlight at night.
First recommendation:
Any budget light that does NOT have a LatticeBright emitter! These junk LEDs have become the bane of the budget flashlight world.
Second recommendation:
~$10-$15
Single-AA/14500 operation
Smooth body but with good knurling
No crenelations or sharp edges
Quality anodizing, possibly in an array of colors
Deep-Carry pocket-clip
Genuine Cree XP-G2 emitter (my personal preference is for cooler tint)
Light-OP reflector
Regulated Three-mode Lo-Mid-High no-strobe/SOS driver
Tailcap clicky.
Copper mcpcb, integrated shelf thick enough to handle heat, direct driven xp-l Hi with a primary clicky switch in the rear and a secondary momentary switch for changing the 4 modes from moonlight to turbo with a hidden strobe mode.
Personally I have little use for any flashing options in most of my lights, I just want high, medium, and low settings. I’m on the copper mcpcb bandwagon.
