Is there anything comparable to the S6330 in 18650 lights that offer long regulated runtimes?

You know but at half or less the price? I just learned about this light yesterday, and saw the impressive medium mode run times.

Medium
M1 260Lm (16 hrs) or
M2 75Lm (62 hrs) / 24Lm (8 days).

This would make an awesome camp lantern/flashlight for back country camping- but it’s so expensive. But I also like that it has the flexibility to output a ton more or a ton less light.

Is there anything else out there like it? Something that has extended medium runtimes, first and foremost, but also relatively compact, can do a moonlight or sub 10 lumen mode, and tailstands and also blast light at 900 lumens or better? And no or unnoticeable PWM?

Basically the Zebralight but a lot less? I guess the biggest thing I could sacrifice from the SC6330 is it’s higher modes.

If you don't mind switching to a 1xLED XML flashlight, lots of options out there, with a wide range of modes, or infinitely variable.

In the 2000+ lumens department, the Roche m170 might be an option. Otherwise you again end up in higher price ranges though, going to high end lights.

The modes, the super low, is exactly the reason I bought mine. For me the ideal of leaving it on low for months at a time... it makes me giddy :p

The other things you can't really mimic, is you can run it off of even 1 battery, the size, and hopefully the quality.

I'll be quite disappointed if mine doesn't beat out an SRK in power :p

With the right code I think it’s around $70 I think

Ok, so the EA8 50 lumens for 60 hours. I should have thought of that. It’s not on 18650s, but I guess that’s acceptable.
