Hey guys!

As the title says Im looking for a 26650 flashlight with the following specs:

- 1.000 lumen or more

- either a visual step down of output as the battery voltage is running low OR a voltage reading function OR both

- thermal regulation would be a +

- throw with a good amount of spill

- side switch would be a +

- runtimes on moderate output levels should be good

- user interface should be relatively easy (as its for my father) - but I think Anduril would be okay as well as you dont have to use all of its functions

- the size of the flashlight should be a EDC size (doesnt have to be too small, as it could be worn in a holster)

- price limit about ~60$

shipping to Germany

Thanks in advance!

In my mind… you cannot beat this light!
D4SV2

I really like 26650 lights that are small and fit the hand well. This is a very good mix of flood and throw, indicates battery well through the leds under the optic and manages heat well.

Sofirn sp33 v2

The v3 is also out with usb charging but has no reviews yet

Astrolux MF 01 Mini would be a light to look at, although it is a little larger then the D4SV2… but has USB C charging - no need for a special Li-ion charger, it works like a phone. Very neat light. I cannot speak of reliability as it’s very new though.

The D4SV2 is certainly one of the best compact 26650 lights too.
