I haven’t read-up on the Trustfire as those style lights aren’t my bag but I feel safe saying any light with the Convoy brand is going to be well worth the coin spent on it.
the brightest of all lights sub $20 would be C8 XML2 from lightmall…no other lights can match the brighness of C8 XML2 under $20 period. not even C12 XML2… I tested and compared with my other lights already. :bigsmile:
The total for the lot came to $19.14USD incl freight. Alternatively for something a bit bigger you could use the Convoy C8 host but it would cost $21.08.
I built a Convoy C8 a few weeks back using the same components but a 3A tint instead of the 3C and it was a fantastic light! I far preferred it to my XinTD C8 V4.
I like aspheric zoomys such as the Sipik 68 clones and the same scaled up to 18650/XM-L. I especially like my Sipik SK73 and similar lights, as they are very compact, and the TrustFire Z8 because it is so nicely made and the aluminum slides on the stainless steel so smoothly. One reason is that walking on the sidewalk with a powerful reflector light, I would be blinding people walking or driving toward me, with the spill.
