Whats on your flashlight wishlist

More money. Then I could buy anything I wanted.

Seriously though, mostly I want two BLF LT1’s

Copper BLF GT.

FW3A brushed aluminum
(or stonewashed aluminum, however not sure how that would look like)

Already exist. Look at the Emissar D18, ROT66 Gen 2 and MF01S

Mixture of BLF SP70 and stock SP70. Not sure if I want an SVR, but certainly dislike Sofirns choice of LED. Ok - OPR and warm white LED, please.

HDS rotary and clicky nichia 219b

Oveready Boss raw Titanium and V5 dropin

Muyshondt Aeon Mk3 nichia 219b Copper and Titanium

Vinz lights and dropins

some Zebralight

some aaa keychain lights

some Surefire lights

At the moment im choosing between following, would like all of them :smiley:

Fireflies E01 - cheap and good UI, versatile beam profile
Sofirn C8F 21700 version - cheap, acceptable UI, rather floody beam
Sofirn SP36BLF Edition - high CRI, has charging, more compact than Q8, sucks that it still doesnt have lanyard hole, nor some anti roll features
Emisar D4V2 - pocket hot rod, but pricier than the rest
March C8 - like the beefy fins design, but the driver/UI seem rather rudimentary

Besides that some larger lights, if there is any good deal. Feel free to help me cutting down the list to maybe 2-3 lights :+1:

I’m always suspicious when the guy holding the flashlight has to wear gloves :smiley:

I definitively plan on picking up a Fireflies PL47 gen 2 soon.

Then maybe someone can help convince me yay or nay on this, but I’ve been wanting a Nitecore EC4S xhp 50 for a really long time. I really like the look and the dual 18650’s. However, I keep looking at the run-times and specs and it doesn’t seem to be much better then many single 18650 lights. Also I have a Jetbeam WL-S4-GT xhp 70, which is also two 18650’s but is brighter and has better run-times.

Am I missing something? Why do the EC4S specs seem not as good as they should be? Are the specs understated? I really like it but is it worth it?

Here are links

https://flashlight.nitecore.com/product/ec4s

and here’s a single 18650 Astrolux that doesn’t have the same high, but the run-times are almost as good.

I like lights that I can recommend to non-enthusiasts, and I love high capacity cells. So I have an Astrolux C01 on the way, and I want a YLP Unicorn. My YLP hi-CRI headlamp as trying to become an EDC this time of year.

1) Pele Ti2
2) Hanko
3) Mechforce Mechtorch Turbo
4) HDS 325 Lumens Rotary (123 Body)
5) McGizmo Haiku
6) Imalent DM70
7) Oveready BOSS 35 (Black)
8) Reylight Krystal
9) Barrel
10) Coolfall Spy 007
11) Frelux Synergy1

How’s that for a wish list?

Expensive

The Acebeam X45, Klarus XT21X

LOL. I’m buying lottery tickets.

On the way -
Sofirn BLF SP36
Lumintop - GT Mini NW and EDC18 (Nichia)
Astrolux - FT03 NW, A01 Nichia 219B and K1 Nichia 219C
Emisar - D4V2 Ti/Cu and D4SV2 Cyan Both SST-20 4000K

Wishlist
E07 Brass
D1SV2
MF01S
8 x LT1s
Since we’re wishing I’d like a compact 18350/CR123A sideswitch light with High CRI 4000-4500K emitter and Andruil. Something like my S1R II (2 mm thicker for 18350 support) with a better emitter and Andruil. If that comes out, I will sell my S1Rs.

You can get an 18350 tube for the D4V2.

I have it but it’s still pretty fat due to the quad head. I feel like a single-emitter TIR would allow for the skinniest body.

Vinh’s new Sky Lumen SLN. And on the wishlist it shall remain…

My list at the moment:

  • 47 Quark Mini AA Ti (hard to get, no budget)
  • CRX light-from-scratch (hard to get)
  • Rofis MR30 (waits for budget)
  • YLP Falcon F15 (waits for budget)
  • Lumintop Zoom1 (waits for budget)
  • OnTheRoad i3 (waits for budget)
  • Skywolfeye E526 (waits for budget)
  • BLT LT1 (ordered)
  • Skywolfeye B16 (ordered)
  • Emisar D4S 26350 (ordered)
  • tent light based on a 20m light string (some parts ordered, no budget for a capable powerbank)

My List:

Imalent MS18 - Comming next month

Imalent R90TS

Acebeam K75

FW3A

FireFlies E07 Ti/Cu
