Hi gents, I was hoping some of the vets might be able to give me their opinions on a few choices I have regarding near future purchases.
Firstly I’m looking for an EDC flashlight with great throw in the $50 and under price tag.
I’m sick of reading through seller specs claiming 2000 lumens, 500 metre beams etc
and would appreciate honest feedback from owners of particular makes mentioned below.
As we all know, the C8 is one of the best bang for buck going around, own one that’s DD and its one of my favs, but reality is it’s not much help once a target is over 150 metres regardless of what most specs claim.
Not including any of the aspheric lens types either here as they’re not suited to my needs.
So here is my list so far….
*Crelant V6C6 $26
*Uniquefire UF-V3 $18
*Uniquefire HS-802 $23 (Already ordered, awaiting arrival)
*Trustfire X9 (Already ordered, awaiting arrival - not really an EDC size but couldn’t help myself)
*Eagle eyes X6 $19
*Warsun MX900 $25
*Warsun CT9T $25
*Convoy L4 $30
While I love the look of the WS MX900, the belt clip of the V6C6, and the throw that I’m sure will be delivered by the X9, am I really going to find an 18650 flashlight that will out throw, be generally brighter than and deliver more for my money, yet be compact enough as an EDC light than the HS-802?
Here’s hoping someone will lead me in the right direction, or include any that I might have missed which would only make things more difficult, giving me another excuse for a purchase
