Yeah already seen those 2! UT20 is also interesting, F1 don’t know…Has something that doesn’t convince me for some reason.
Wellp, the F1 is definitely a class act. Only thing I didn’t like was the greeniness of the beam, but the styling is fantastic, the O-ring-sealed ring over the usb port is a top-notch idea vs the typische rubber-plugs that can pop off, pull out, get lost, etc., and the crisp rear switch has a nice solid feel to it.
The UT20 has a forward-clicky switch (momentary on… <drool>) and battery-status indicator in the switch that I’ve really come to appreciate.
Both have a great UI with no blinkies getting in the way. Ever.
If I were you, I’d just get both. 
Yeah the usb connector cover is absolutely ingenious, i wish others had that, hell i wish the m2r i bought had that.
One day i might… 
That is so true :person_facepalming:
Experience practitioner here 
Hello there again boyos. So the M2R warrior arrived today, instructions say i should charge it before use, which i’m doing…But before having a red glow, i was having a yellowish glow, and in the instructions that’s never mentioned, any idea?
Hey oxidized, enjoy your new light 
Ok, so i’ve been using the m2r from yesterday basically aaand, i really didn’t expect it being this small, but it’s ok, i just realized tactical flashlights aren’t for me, besides the light is premium quality you can see that as soon as you take out the box, everything is so well polished and taken care of, but unfortunately this isn’t my thing i guess, just too small too compact for my taste…Another thing i figured out is i don’t think i really like neutral white tint, it looks way too yellowish.
Also, i don’t understand why no good flashlight has the “zoomable” head, my old crappy flashlight had that, and sometimes it came in handy, surely more handy than strobe or sos.
Anyway this is a bit too tiny for me, i think i need something with a wider head, like the sofirn C8F but possibly with an integrated usb port for charging, and as little as possible gimmicks, like SOS or strobe, or either 1lm moonlight mode - single or multi led i don’t think i’ll mind that, and i don’t think i’ll also mind a bigger battery 20700 (or even bigger, just not the soda can :D), the important things are, good UI (possibly with no SOS and strobe, or at least with the possibility to isolate those by switching between groups), charging usb port, and overall good build quality.
The Sofirn C8F could be alright, but no charging usb port and not that good UI (Not sure, because the videos i’ve watched showed the older version i guess). Also i’ve decided to up the budget around 50€ (~60:money_mouth_face: which is as much as i spent on the m2r (56€ to be precise).
And of course thank you so much everyone, i realize i’m not an easy client :person_facepalming:
To bad. Countryman B1 is a decent light if you do want a zoomie.
Alright, added on the list!
Wuben LT35 (zoomable) All Flashlights - Rechargeable Led Flashlight | Wuben
Other Wuben lights may also be nice (although not with that 1 moonlight mode)!
Funny thing you don’t appreciate that much the M2R ! We all have different tastes, of course, but I do like it a lot! Even the not Cold White tint! Used outdoor is smoother, for me!
I have the Odepro Kl52 (zoomable) moded with XPL-HI and the Astrolux X5/6 driver. It has that moolight mode, and has the throw and flood one may need! If you can solder, you can try that
Yeah, unfortunately the beam seem to be too narrow for my taste, looks and feel too much like a flashlight you’d mount on rifles and such, just not my use
Oh well i can solder, but if i can avoid that on a brand new thing i’d prefer…
The Wuben LT35 is very interesting, another one added to my list!
Hi oxidized,
Lexel and Macka17 have both suggested the BLF Q8…
That is a great light for the price and I think you can still get one for less than $50
No on board charging though, but all you need is an entry level charger which might set you back $6 or $7
Hey there!
Yeah i was checking that out again too, but that soda can size is a bit too much, besides i’d need to buy 4 good batteries and a decent 4 slot charger in addition to the flashlight itself so…
What do you guys think about the Lumintop ODL20C and the Lumintop ODF30C. They seem quite interesting to me, they both have basically what i’m looking for, aside from the “zoomable” head, but well if they have a broad head i might just be ok with that. Still: Broad head, not sos or strobe bs getting in the way, not tactical, usb rechargeable (either type c or micro) big battery, pretty much everything. Oh and they’re both around 60€
edit: Actually i’m not sure about the cost, they’re just coming out now?
