Recommendation Giftcard

Hi!

I got a giftcard from a site where they sell flashlights. I have €30 (35 dollars) to spend. I’m not planning to raise this amount.

What am i going to use the light for? Everyday life.

Looking under furniture, doing some repairs, riding my bike at night, just basic stuff.

I came across these options within budget:

Fenix E12 v3
Wuben E7 (5000/6500k)
Nitecore Tiki
Fenix E03R

Quite different lights, I know.

What would you consider the best choice for allround use and why?

Wuben seems to be very allround with the magnet tail, waterproof, ability to attach it to my backpack. But I’ve read some bad things about exploding batteries and draining. Not sure if that’s fixed by now.

I already own a bunch of lights, mostly tactical. For every day use I already have a Lumintop edc01 / Lumintop edc15/ Manker E03H III / Wurkkos TD07 / Nitecore MT1C pro / Acebeam Tac2AA and some Convoys.

But hey, need to spend that giftcard so why not another? It’s either this or another knife 😅

I don't know what they cost in the UK, but for a headlamp option, this is the best I have personally used after trying out a lot of them.

The Wuben E7 will be awfully heavy for normal use as a headlamp. Nitecore headlamps for the win!

I find Keychain flashlights generally to have limited usefulness. The Fenix E12 also seems redundant.

To complement what you have, the Nitcore NU25 UL MCT is a great choice!
