I bought the Olight M3XS – UT Javelot Cree XP – L 3 years ago and am looking for a replacement. This flashlight is incredible but surely technology has progressed…
I’m hoping for something with a similar form factor.
Are there any that are noticeably stronger?
Are there any that have similar characteristics but are a much better value?
astrolux MF02, BLF GT, Thrunite TN42.
I have the M3XS and the above outperform it.
The new Astrolux FT02 with a 21700 battery is also kind of exciting.
astrolux MF02 i must say if u want something that is well built, kinda cheap like under 100$ and throws easy over 1km, but its kinda heavy like 1kg or so with batteries inserted. If u want something more pocketable then get it a lumintop gt mini maybe ? if u want to be the boss then blf gt is the king.
As others advice, go big - BLF GT35, Thrunite TN42 etc. Otherwise you won’ t see that much different in throw comparing to MX3 Javelot. I telling that according to my experience. (Javelot vs Manker MK35, Javelot vs GT35)
