  • Fireflies X4 Stellar with mixed FFL351a emitters: 2x3700k and 2x1800k, 21700. Gets the most usage around the house
  • Emisar Dw4 Nichia 519a 3500k boost driver, shorty 18350. My EDC for now.
  • Convoy S6 with SFT40 3000k, 5A buck driver, shorty 18350. I just like to play with it :slight_smile: and also my former EDC

the B35AM really is a gem. I only have the 4500k and 3000k, but they both look good.

I need a host for the 3000k, and the 4500k was in a shorty S6, but I think the driver went out on it. if my Convoy order ever shows up, it’ll be working again.

My favorite LED by far :slight_smile:

1 Thank

LM10 is one of the nicest lights made.

My three favorite lights are the three most conveniently available to use.

Convenience is everything.

I will use a crappy light that is on the counter rather than a great light that I need to get out of a box and put a battery in.

Like usual, this is my most used light.


The Sofirn HS20 with SFT40 emitter (and 18650 cell) is my second most used light. :+1:

YLP Panda 2M CRI headlight. Best headlight by far I’ve ever had. From Russia, so NLA. Wish someone would make a clone.

My very pocketworn Thorfire TG06S. H>M>L UI, which works fine for me as a EDC utility light. Vampire extraordinaire. It’ll suck a AA down to ~0.8v or so before it quits starting altogether on low, giving me plenty of notice the AA cell is about done.

Sunwayman R10A. The half-push momentary-ON tail clicky is handy in the kitchen so I don’t step on the cat when I shuffle around pouring coffee. You’d think she’d learn…

Bonus fourth light: a gold Sofirn C01 w/ the warm 5mm LED. Another <1.0v vampire. Great light to ceiling bounce when dark so I don’t step on spikey dog toys with bare feet or, a slimy gift of hairball cat puke squeezed between the toes that appeared overnight. Dogs aren’t even interested in those. Best when cold but fresh, juicy n’ warm offers it’s own, unique experience.

While I had other lights on me during the week, these 3 were the primaries.

Dawson Machine Craft Divot Slim in media blasted bronze with H17Fx and 519a 3500k using a 14500 F12.

Hank D4K antique copper 2 channel with FFL351A 4000k and 1800k. Molicel P45B.

Reylight LANapple in Ti with Zirc tail and button and 519a 4000k using a 14500 H10.

The Divot Slim is such a good looking and feeling light. It is the perfect EDC size.

TS11 SFT-40 General around the house use. Really like the feel of it in the hand.
DM11 SST-20 2700K 95cri Good for walking around the yard.
D4V2 SST-20 660 deep red Deep red doesn’t bother fish while walking around a pond.

2 Thanks

TS10 “based” in the living room.

Tacklife “based” in the kitchen.

Probably TS23 when I want/need a bit more oomf.

Bonus SF13 to burn down miscellaneous AAs. Already suffered an alkaleak and was cleaned/refurbed, so it’s already internally scarred.

Sofirn HS21 for mostly everything.

1 Thank

It’s nothing fancy, but it does exactly what I need. The C01 is my primary and the E6 currently has a 4.2V xenon drop-in, though I do have a 219B 4500K triple for when this eventually blows up.

7 Thanks

Don’t see many of those KDlitker E6 hosts on here, I’ve been eyeing them for a while, how’s the quality?

Also, kudos for rocking essentially 2005 technology :sweat_smile:

Quality is actually pretty good, considering the price. Threads came very well lubed, and the anodizing seems nice and even. I much prefer the old Solarforce from way back when, but it’s pretty well made nonetheless.

I’ve jumped around, tried a little bit of everything, but at the end of the day, I’m a sucker for simple. The house has Convoy T3 and T5 scattered all around, and I’ve got enough Sofirn LT1 and LT1S to last me a good while, but for the most part, I’m just not a fan of electronic switches.

2 Thanks

This is a super cool light. Is it the same E6 on their web site now?
