Hello all BLF members, I'm Bruce from china, I love flashlight .I begun to collect flashlight since 2008 and have more than 150 pcs flashlights now. We have some flashlight forums in China, but it seems people there don't have the interest and passion any more, so I come to here. We also have many flashlight brands and manufacturers in china ,some make high quality products but expensive,some offer budget price but really low quality. I want to make some flashlight , offer both high quality and good price, any suggestion?
Welcome to BLF, AWTACT! If you want to make a good quality budget flashlight brand, take a look at Convoy brand. Simon is the owner and he has an AliExpress store. His brand is in China, his prices are reasonable, and his quality is excellent! He’s a member of this forum for several years, and everyone trusts him. There are other good quality budget flashlight makers who are members here also. Follow in their path(s) if you want to succeed.
In my opinion, the best place to start is with a compact general purpose light. I would recommend something the size of Eagle Eye X6 or Convoy C8 or Luckysun D80. Out of those three, I prefer the look of the Eagle Eye X6. The smooth, simple shape is pleasing to look at. Please don’t do anything with a tactical look.
Thanks! I know Convoy, We generally name convey”maoku” in China, you may ask simon the reason. I agree Convey offer good price but I don’t like their quality and design, I have 3 Convey.
Welcome AWTACT! I’m guessing with so many high rise buildings and bright street lighting in China, there’s not much use for flashlights, therefore people are losing interest over there.
Wait, did you really say you don’t like Convoy quality? You’re the first person I’ve heard of not liking their quality. Would you tell what you don’t like about it?
What do you mean when you say you want to make flashlights? Are you associated with a manufacturing company that can design and mass produce flashlights? Or Is it just a small business making custom flashlights that your'e proposing? Thanks.
