21700 XinTD C8 V5 equivalent?

LED Flashlights – General Info 21700 Flashlights
1

Since getting my XinTD C8 V5s, I’ve gotten pretty out of touch with the flashlight world as I’ve had no need to upgrade!
I’ve been considering getting a 21700 single cell flashlight, but I have no idea what the best bang for buck is these days. My XinTD C8 V5s have a XML-U2 with the headspreader soldered directly onto a solid pill.
Are there modern alternatives to the XML-U2 with similar properties but brighter/more efficient?

Convoy M21A with SST-40 is a good upgrade.

+1 or with SFT-40 for better throw.

Noctigon K1 From Hank

Or Convoy L21B with SFT40

Are you looking for throw, or flood?

I have a convoy S21 that I EDC at work, and I have a Wurkkos TS21 triple coming in. The convoy was $21 plus the cell. The TS21 was $34 including the cell.

Any C8 to me screams “thrower”, so I’d suggest looking at the IF22A. TIR optix, throws like Hell. Punchiest light I’ve seen in a long while.
