$150 light done my way (No, not a mod)

Convoy L6 or something like a Fenix TK75. Great “all purpose” lights that combine flood and throw. You could also put the Thrunite TN40 is there but I prefer the Fenix due to its ergonomics.

SBT90.2 FT03 ?

Even an XHP50 FT03 is going to be great.

I need a good rugged build, might have some unintentional abuse

What size/shape are you looking for?

External or internal charging?

If you can give more details we can give better advice

Got one coming. Couldn’t resist for $39 sale. I’m looking for a bit more of a higher end light

You know this light is designed by BLF?
The original Q8 is a high quality light, because all SRK ripoffs were cheap flimsy ones, so to say ‘higher end’ undermines all BLF members who helped designing it, it set a very high standard to the flashlight industry.

It’s not an Astrolux product, which has a questionable quality.

You can buy another BLF Q8 It’s nice to own two of them so you can abuse the other and keep the other in a good condition.

Q8 is definitely a high quality flashlight.

“Hmmm…”:Amazon.com

That Niwalker has a $50 coupon as well on amazon. Had my eyes on that light for a very long time, but holding back on purchases at the moment.

Sofirn SP70 seems really nice too:

No offense intended on the BLF.

The B of BLF stands for Budget, and the Q8 is definitely a Budget light, but a pretty good one at that.
Higher End usually means more expensive, but not necessarily better functioning or brighter.

What will this light be used for?

lawallac · 2019-12-13T20:11:47.000Z

I’m a big fan of the TN40. I think I paid 125 new with a coupon when i got mine a while back.

Medium size, charging doesn’t matter

I have a few Sofirns and I love them. Leaning toward the SP70, money left for beer!

The SP70 has a good output and has a balanced throw vs flood, definitely a good choice.
Still waiting for the BLF version though, it might never happen…

I’m pretty impressed with the beam shots.
