Looking to buy a very bright multi emitter lights but im on a pretty tight budget so need to get the best one for me analyzing the facts, price, size, lux, lumens, etc.
Thanks a lot guys.
SHADOW SL3
ROCHE M170
FENIX TK70
SKYRAY KING
Etc.
Thanks
Haha, you say tight budget, then you say Fenix TK70.
Anything Fenix does not correlate to 'budget' unless there's a 'no' before it.
There are many models of SR King (review by '_the_'), the trusted one from fancyflashlights/CNQG(both the same seller), has been measured to put out a decent 2200lm.
The Roche M170 is something I'm interested in personally, with the stepless level, especially. There has been some issues with some batteries not fitting, etc. About double the price of the SR King. Can get from FF or Intl-outdoor.
Not interested in the Shadow SL3 (review by turboBB) because it only hosts a single 26650 and burns @ 1500lm, which gives nowhere near enough burn time for my individual use.
I suggest you look at the Blackshadow Darth as well. -FF (NW) or FF (CW)
Good luck hunting.
I've been looking for something along the same lines, here's what I've found so far that match my interests:

Still a work in progress! I'm torn between the new Supbeam x40, Blackshadow Terminator, and a TN30. Supbeam is winning but I'm still holding out for a better option and for more reviews on this relatively new light.
My multi-emitter lights which I consider very bright are the Black Shadow Terminator, the Sky Ray King and the TrustFire X-100.
For the price: The cheapest is the SRK, followed by X-100 then the BST.
For the flood: The floodiest is the X-100, followed by the SRK then the BST.
For the throw: The farthest throwing is the BST, followed by the X-100 then the SRK.

I hope this helps.
