Hi all,

Just joined and looking forward to some decent chat on here.

Can anyone please put their suggestions forward for a torch no dearer than approx £90 and that is very floody (not interested in a tight hotspot). I did originally choose the SP36 but my other topic explains about that disaster with the shipment etc.

I have put a topic in foreign sellers forum.

Welcome to the madhouse!

Welcome!
How about the Emisar D18? Do you have any size requirements?

Jinx · 2019-11-13T19:24:02.000Z

The Emisar is great, make sure you buy decent cells and it will keep your hands warm as a bonus

kirksherratt · 2019-11-13T20:24:00.000Z

Thanks guys and if Milla Jovovich is on here I’m sure I will have a good time

Size isn’t an issue really as I used to carry an old 6 cell maglite. I will go and check out the emisar now!

Where might I be able to purchase this if I choose to go with it?

Also, I have some brand new 18650 button top unprotected batteries but I am not sure if they are high drain or not. The D18 specifies high drain. I don’t want to be spending any more on batteries really.

intl-outdoor for the light

TMaxxJJ · 2019-11-13T20:57:45.000Z

What’s the make and model of your batteries?

You can purchase direct from the manufacturer, Hank - https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d18.html

Welcome!
The Sp36 BLF is a very nice light, (avoid BG and GB if possible, unless you like to gamble)
Could you define how floody it needs to be? The sp36 is a good balance between throw and flood.

Otherwise, get an Emisar D4Sv2

kirksherratt · 2019-11-13T21:11:41.000Z

Thank you everyone for the info. Much appreciated! Really like the look of that torch though, great suggestion!

The batteries are unbranded (didn’t know any better) 4000mah 3.7v.

I see they have 30q batteries on there but I have seen them much cheaper elsewhere but if someone has a link that would be great.

Thanks mate, may be see you around sometime!

TMaxxJJ · 2019-11-13T21:31:39.000Z

I wouldn’t trust those batteries if I were you. No 18650 is currently rated for 4000mah, so they’re lying about that.
For batteries in the uk I mainly use either https://www.ecoluxshopdirect.co.uk/ or https://18650.uk/ Both trustworthy sites selling genuine batteries.

oakheath · 2019-11-13T21:44:00.000Z

I live in Beccles so not far from you.
Have you tried www.flashaholics.co.uk ? They have some Eagtac’s in their sale section maybe what your looking for?
Very fast delivery and service.

Jinx · 2019-11-13T21:47:04.000Z

I use torchy (seller:big_f_d_d) on eBay for UK, he’s also a member here and does his own tests.

https://eu.nkon.nl/ Is good for EU cells, fast delivery.

Lightbringer · 2019-11-13T22:45:09.000Z

You want flood? Jaxman Z1.

You’ll thank me later.

Big_Sam · 2019-11-14T09:40:45.000Z

Welcome! Good to have some more folk from the UK on board, there’s a few of us lurking around now.

Like it’s been mentioned, ecolux shop or 18650.uk (join the newsletter there’s 18 - 20% discounts most fridays, or use the BLF10 10% discount) are both good sellers of batteries.

Flashaholics.co.uk are fast delivery (also the code: CPF gives 7% discount).

Th558 · 2019-11-14T10:01:39.000Z

I prefer 18650.uk over ecoluxshop. Also if you use the code 18650 you get 18.5% off.

Big_Sam · 2019-11-14T10:29:08.000Z

I just checked which 18650.uk codes are working:

BLF10 = 10%
18650 = 18.65%
BOO = 20%
iloveweekends = 20%

These all work ok at the moment!
