I've been browsing these forums for a while now so I finally decided it was time to get some knowledge and make an account.
I am looking for any versatile flood-to-throw flashlights. I prefer 1x18650 but I am open to other options as well. I am looking for a light that is a little more flood than throw. It is something that will be used in the vehicle for when I need a light but don't have one of my main flashlights with me.
I recently ordered some 18650 zoomies just to give them a try. Overall I really like them because of the versatility. I like the consistent wide flood without a noticeable hotspot (great for working on things and lighting large areas).
SmallSun ZY-T620 - I thought this light was going to be the best but I was sadly mistaken. For flood the beam is too narrow and not as bright as the B06 or the C55. The throw is the best out of all my zoomies but that is to be expected. It's not a STL-V6 by any means but it's not much worse than my old HS-801 for usable throw. It is a very underwhelming light because the flood and lack of overall brightness.
CANSO B06 - It has the most open and usable flood of the three. It also has the most flood-to-throw travel. The throw beam is very weak because of the distance from the emitter. Overall a great flood light but really lacks in throw.
NEW-C55 - This light impressed me a lot for overall brightness. The flood beam size is between the ZY-T620 and B06. The C55 is about the same brightness as the B06 when adjusted to the same size. It throws better than the B06 by far and is a better overall light. It just doesn't have as wide of flood as the B06 (XM-L).
That is my list of current zoomies just to get an understanding of the possible comparisons.
