What should I get for my next light?

GreenLights · 2018-11-22T06:11:39.000Z

Since joining here, I have picked up about 10 lights, mostly smaller ones. The two I use most often are my S2+ and Q8. They basically satisfy all my needs. Now I’m looking for a light I don’t need, but want, just for fun. More of a show-off piece for the wow factor, but also a budget light. I want to keep it under $100. I would like a very floody wall of light, not looking for throw. I was looking at the HaikeLite MT03 TA. It’s on sale right now with the Black Friday deal at Banggood. Would this light be substantially brighter than the Q8 in the real world? Please share any other suggestions you have. Thanks.

If you like the Q8, you will love the Emisar D4S…!

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m guessing the MT03 TA isn’t recommended. Perhaps I was sucked in by the 21,000 lumen claim, or it’s more of a thrower. The D4S looks great, but besides the size, it won’t be much brighter than the Q8. I’m liking the MF01, but people seem to complain about the UI, especially after experiencing the great Q8 UI. I shall continue searching and any more recommendations are appreciated.

The short answer is “all of them”, of course.

It’s just now a matter of which ones you get in which order.

As for wow factor, wonder if the MT09R is still sold. That one’ll hurt yer eyes but good, even doing a ceiling-bounce test.

Yeah, it seems I just need to slowly buy them all. Oh, my poor wallet.

Has this light ever cost less than this in the past? Seems like an exceptional bargain.

I would get the MT03 TA IMO.

It’s got NarsilM, so the same awesome user interface as the BLF Q8, made even better by the update.

It’s also 83$ with the code AC18:

That is the cheapest I have ever seen it. Have always wanted one but never wanted to put out the money. This sale is making me rethink that though.
