Nitecore Concept 2

Wow that’s the clear winner! Don’t know the actual size though. Haven’t seen this posted anywhere yet.

not so small as it looks , about the same size as BLF Q8, Much bigger than M43!

Thanks for all the suggestions -

Clarification - I am considering lights with Up- To 4 cells. So can have 1 cell, 2, 3 or Four of the 18650’s

And up to 5,000 Lumens on Turbo if possible

But seems like the Emisar D4 is on the upper end of practical use on Turbo? What is one step down from the Emisar D4?

The meteor M43 over at intl-outdoor is also a very good option. The most compact 4x 18650 flashlight you can get from what I know, with 6600 lumens at 90CRI

Wow. 4 18650s are not going to fit in my pocket.

They are if you wear clown pants.

Can you provide a link?

Always looking for options

Not a multi cell light but the Sofirn C8F would work nicely. Doesn’t get super hot, super fast like the Emisar. Depending on how you are dressed, could be carried in your pocket. Though a holster for it is super cheap and practical. Hides nicely under a untucked shirt. Replace the wire they used for the spring bypass and you have 3000+ lumens of triple emitter goodness.

WOW. Clown life is Pricey.

Lightbringer · 2018-05-19T17:35:32.000Z

Now you know why clowns murder people…

Lightbringer · 2018-05-19T17:39:36.000Z

And besides, they can’t even get decent knuckle-tats. Try getting “CLOWN LIFE” on your hands, the ‘N’ ends up on your thumb, so all you see when you make two fists is “CLOW LIFE”. Pisses ’em off…

eas · 2018-05-19T17:53:58.000Z

Dude, clowns and other carnies often have extra fingers.

Lightbringer · 2018-05-19T18:00:13.000Z

Not after any failures. They snip ’em off just like yakuza…

After a while, all you can read is “OW LI”.

chadvone · 2018-05-19T18:01:02.000Z

lol. We are way off topic.

pennzy · 2018-05-19T18:12:34.000Z

Clown and carny hate speech is insensitive.
