I got a bit sick of trying to chose… so I just bought a FiTorch MR35.
I’m going to buy the one you suggested too.
Two questions.
A] What cells does it take? Button, flat or raised. All?
B] “floody 10623 optic instead of 10622 clear optic ( +$1.00 )”
How much more floody? I have a Convoy BD04. How do both optics compare to that flood wise. If they are cheap and easy to replace I might buy both but see no option for that.
I don’t know the difference, but mine are clear optics on the Emisar D4. LEDs are XP-G2 S4 3D (5000K). My guess is that the “floody” optics will improve the beam at close range and maybe give you less throw. For a close range it will probably make it better.
About the cells, I would recommend Sony US18650VTC6 , non protected batteries.
Some beamshots of the Emisar D4 to see the beam.
First at 45m, second at 70m.
How about the L6, Convoy’s big thrower? The L6 is $45-$50 with a coupon or discount code.
Convoy recommend protected Keeppower 5200mAH 26650 batteries for the L6.
Left to right: S2, S2, C8, L6
+1 on the D4
Beautiful light and user interface, but gets very hot very fast on high and turbo. Great during the cold winter
1200 vs 6000lm what’s the difference?
4800 Lumen :person_facepalming:
the battery alone will cost $30
plus it is too big to go in a pocket
i would skip it and look for BLF A6 or Astrolux S1 with warm beam
single 18650
1500-2000 lumens with good battery
or the convoy lights others mentioned.
wle
a battery for the D4?
30$?
Are you using Lithium-Gold batteries?
5$ https://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_196913.html
Edit: If you mean the L6 - yes, it’s a “bit” too big for a regular pocket, but the batteries are still just a bit over 10$ for both if you use Liitokalas
no, i meant that diving light the OP mentioned, 32650 cell
ok then, the OP is welcome to a 2 lb pocket and ‘’6000 lumens’’

No idea about the weight of the cell. It’s just that that diameter is about the max. to hold comfortably. High mAh and still pretty small.
BTW I don’t want such cells for extreme lumens but for runtime. Yes, I know I can also swap 18650 cells
