@solrize The TS10 is already on the list, in the enthusiast section. I think that’s the right place for it because it trips USB-charging 14500s, doesn’t have onboard charging, doesn’t take AA, throttles hard on max, and uses Anduril. I don’t have a hard set of criteria for it, but that’s a lot of non-mainstream traits in one light. My SP10 Pro runs on Eneloops, and it’s one of the highest output lights I’ve seen on 1xAA with 403 lumens and good regulation.

The SC13A is mentioned as a variant of the SC13. Currently, it’s priced quite a bit higher, which diminishes one of the most compelling things about the SC13.

I’ll think about something from the DL25 series. I see there’s a version with deep red now, and there’s some merit to that.

Added HD10, enthusiast section for now. The USB charging might get it moved to mainstream later.

Noted about the Tube.

I’m not adding a 3xAAA headlamp with a bad UI no matter how cheap it is.

I’m hoping they’ll do a bit work work on the TS10 Max. I believe a buck driver was part of the original plan.

@vladmech I can endorse that plan!

@SubArcticTundra Those can be used as headlamps, handheld, and for most of them, magnetic work lights.

Later changes:

December 27: added Wurkkos HD10

I put it in an Acebeam Pokelit Ti and tested runtime on high. There was a considerable improvement: 190 minutes instead of 166.

@flashlight

@MangoPenguin @flashlight None of those offer a product that competes with this.

@Showroom7561 @flashlight

That seems to be a Li-ion battery with silicon added to the anode. My guess is this is not that, just incremental improvement; until recently, 14500 fell far short of the energy density of 18650. Now it’s near parity, keeping in mind a smaller volume inherently means more weight in the metal housing.

@evasive_chimpanzee I like silicone diffusers better than plastic ones.

Adding red to the flashlight limits options. The Skilhunt EC200S offers a red secondary, but it has a very floody beam, which doesn’t add as much versatility to the overall setup as something more focused.

@technomad @flashlight
Maybe the FC11C, unless you need secondary LEDs on the side, then maybe the Sofirn IF24 Pro.

Not a lot of changes this time around:

Added SC13 519A
Added L16 v2
Updated MiX-7
Removed Convoy Z1
Pending Wurkkos TS10 Max

@flashlight

@carter2077 @flashlight it doesn’t have a sub-lumen low and the UI is a little weird. As more competing options became available, I think it’s less compelling.

It’s still a good flashlight, and if those traits don’t bother you, may be the right light for your.

@clay_pidgin @flashlight

The SP36 is a fairly large light, larger than I think most people really need for general use and camping. The FC11C is adequate, simpler to operate, and a more convenient size. Pick up a couple spare batteries if you’re concerned about runtime.

@XeroxCool
The Wuben is a round beam without cutoffs. The 20x65 TIR I have in the Convoy has little spill outside its rectangular beam.

@JazzmanJosh I like the 719A pretty well in this application. I also have one in an S21E, but the B35A is clearly better there. I have yet to try a B35A in a C8 and haven’t read about anyone else doing so. It only loses 10% throw in the S21E, but I think it would do worse in the C8.

@flashlight So far it’s looking like the 20x65 has a much harder vertical cutoff than the rest, which is desirable to avoid blinding other road users. The 10x65 and 15x30 don’t focus all that well.

@Cooljimy84 These don’t quite have the hard cutoffs that are ideal for bike lights, but they come pretty close.

More changes:

Replaced Sofirn IF22A with Wurkkos TD01C. The regulated buck driver is much more efficient and doesn’t dim as the battery drains in medium modes. It also has more throw.

Added Zebralight SC700d HI.

Re-added Reylight Pineapple Mini.

Added Skilhunt EC200S Mini.

@flashlight

Thrunite TC20 v2 removed

Emisar D3AA added

Convoy C8+ updated

Convoy M21F replaces M21C

Convoy M3C removed

@flashlight

@Showroom7561 @flashlight There have been Olight models on this list before. There aren’t any currently due to the company’s heavy use of proprietary batteries. Their LED selections in many models also leave something to be desired.

@EmperorHenry The MH25 Pro is a much fatter light that doesn’t fill the same role. Direct competition for the MH12 Pro would be more along the lines of the Fenix PD36R v2 and Acebeam T35.
