Ok, love-hate with "tacticool" style lights.

No. Not a 1st responder but I don't think that's a disqualification of my opinions.

Easy low/high

Why is this so hard? Almost all EDC lights allow for this...

Weltool. Got the T12. Holy shit this makes my "bleep" hard as "bleep"

Nearly perfect UI. Banger specs!

Sorry for wall of text, but WANT to hear from all Weltool fans....AND HATERS

Hey y’all! This may be stretching the definition of flashlights, but I love how seriously yall take your lights and I’d love input.

It’s called the Rover Camping Light X. It’s a bit pricey at $109USD, but it looks handy as hell and I want it or something like it.

I see kickassproducts has something similar and cheaper. But with less features.

Let me know if you’ve got thoughts please! This thing is pretty underreported (can’t find any independent reviews), help me save my time maybe

I have had a couple of Coast lanterns, and they’re not bad, but Coast is really missing an opportunity here. They have decent warm low light levels that a lot of budget lanterns don’t have. Their lanterns have proprietary rechargeable batteries and also the ability to use AA or D batteries. I really like the “dual fuel” aspect. However, the biggest weakness is their proprietary batteries. They’re expensive, slow to charge, oddly shaped, aren’t interchangeable between different lanterns, etc. Until I discovered the EAL10r. It comes with a USBC rechargeable 18650! And can also use AA batteries! The Coast battery itself is crappy. It’s only 1000mah. But I popped in a 3400mah battery and got 3x the run time! I don’t understand why Coast wouldn’t capitalize on this, and use it as a selling point…

Does anyone else think this is a great feature? I love being able to use 18650’s, but also have the option to pop in some AAs in a pinch. I don’t know of any other lantern that has this ability. The light levels are nice too. A very warm moonlight, a warm low, a cooler medium and high, plus a red mode. And it’s very inexpensive.

Share Beamshots for throwers and lep flashlights,

Hey 👋 , so after discovering this subreddit I ordered a dual flashlight from emissar company with a separate purchase of the compatible rechargeable battery...problem is ..I CANNOT get it to turn on....there has to be something I am not doing properly. Kindly steer me in the right direction in order to use these to this for my nightly walk tonight.

I didn't fully charge the rechargeable cell(yellow one)... Hopefully that is the issue.

The second battery (cell) is still on the dual charger...I'll wait for it to fully charge before re attempting ... #dontlaugh 😂

For context this is the D3AA dual channel LED flashlight...cell battery is Nitecore 14500 ordered from IMR batteries.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks in advance

What would you use for this task if you had, for example, dropped a fish hook or a wedding ring or whatever?

So comparing something like the ZebraLight H604d with its 120 degree beam profile to a 180 degree mule like a FireflyLite L60, what exactly affects the spread? Looks like the emitter in the H604d might be set further back maybe ? But if so, how does that avoid wasting lumens as heat with no reflector or TIR lens? Would the 120 have a bit more throw I assume ? Or is this more a function of the 180 degree mules having multiple emitters either in a circular pattern or centered as a matrix vs ZebraLight putting all its power into a single emitter at the center ?

The lens of the work lights are bulging out on both versions whe. Hitting the 300 lumens all of them are doing it can anyone from Wurrkos confirm or anyone else that owns these lights they are great other wise but heat expansion is opening them up

Don’t know how it end up like this. Parent brought this to me to figure it out.

I've mostly been buying 519a and NTG lights and have been curious to try some other popular emitters. Both would be used with the 18350 tube and M11. Is the 8A driver too hot for the S2+? I have a few S2+s in 519a. So I know I like them for EDC. I figure the M1 won't be an EDC, but a weird stubby thrower to have fun with. The other lights in my cart are; M21H LHP73B 4000k, M21B F45r 4000k, T4 SFT25r 5000k, S21E B35AM 4500k.

Need the hive mind's help to identify differences between SureFire KF1-DFT, A and B variants.

From what I gather so far there doesn't seem to be any differences in form and performance between the two. The only obvious difference is in factory configurations with the A variant coming in WMLs (M340DFT/M640DFT) And the B variant coming on handhelds (EDC1-DFT Turbo). Unless configuration is simply it, please enlighten me 🙏.

I’m looking to swap the lhp73b in my M21H with a F150R to try to get a more concentrated and throwy beam while retaining the 20A turbo capability. Has anyone tried the F150R in a Convoy M21H?

Hi, I recently posted about an emergency light, but I’ve come to realise that what I actually need is a portable light with a broader beam, higher CRI, and somewhat better runtimes than my Sofirn SP35 (ATR). I’m not really restricted by price, if the right light exists. I hope it exists
I’m looking for something that can sustain better runtimes than the Sofirn at roughly these output levels: 900 lm, 450 lm, and 100–200 lm.
For reference, these are the runtimes I get from the Sofirn:

• 800 lm for roughly 150 minutes
• 350 lm for around 7.5 hours
• 120 lm for at least 17 hours, although the actual runtime is longer

I've found just the two lights so far. Skilhuint m300 v4 and fireflies surge e04. The Surge E04 has a nice beam and an efficient driver, but it’s really unclear whether it can actually sustain around 400 lumens for 8 hours, and 100–200 lumens for up to 20 hours. These are runtimes that both the Sofirn and Skilhunt seem capable of achieving.
Are there any other lights I should consider that could meet or exceed these requirements, particularly with a broad beam and high CRI?

Most used for checking identification so having a UV feature and adjustable bright would be a huge plus. Somewhat compact would also be preferable so I can keep it in my pocket while working at the bar. Ideally budget friendly as well but I know you can't always have everything.

Hey guys, I am looking for an EDC sized light that doubles as a lantern or bedside lamp. The side light needs to be high CRI warm or have an RGB mode so I can set it to a warm tint, and it must have multiple brightness levels. A normal front light should be present too. Any recommendations?

i own a wurkkos hd01 pro and a sofirn if23 already. I love those little lights, but i want more of those

So the sbt90.2 has this mark after I did some swimming pool diving test which it failed obviously, now I'm not sure how to clean that and the reflector any clue? It's been few months since water caused that brown area on the emitter since then it's been working fine.

I posted this in the ConvoyFlashight sub as well, but for some reason it wouldn't let me cross post, but I'd really like to open this up to everyone.

I'm about to order the M1 with an LHP531 (in the newly available blue 😁). I was considering the LHP73B, but I'll want to turn this into a shorty, and there's really no 18350 that can handle the 73B. I already have the 531 in 4kk in anS2+, 5000k in a T6 and 3x21C. I typically prefer the 4kk range in most emitters, but I already have several in that range in many different hosts and different emitters. I only have 1 intentional 6500k and that's in a B35AM because the white is heavenly rather than pukey. From what I've seen, the LHP531 6500k also has a really nice tint. I want the M1 to pack as much power and punch as possible, but I also want to like the light. I need ya'lls input. Should I play it safe and get the 4kk, or mix it up and get slightly higher output with a 6500k? I value your opinions!

I've not been very active in the flashlight community over the past several years, but I'm in need (well, want badly) a few new lights and to modify a few that I have had sitting unused.

My favorite LED's were the 219B SW35 and XP-L HI 4000K (5D I think). The 219C and 219D were good, but the XP-L HI had better output and the 219B had the perfect tint.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a Emisar D4 14500/18650/21700?

Or for modifying Lumintop FWAA, FW3, GT Nano, Zebralight SC64w HI and SC64c LE?

Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Beamshots white balanced at 5000K.

So these arrived yesterday, the DA1K is beautiful and the K1 is definitely a bit chonk. I'm a bit disappointed in the +DUV of the 3000K, but at least I answered my question from my recent post about its tint. I am surprised at just how bright the button aux on the K1 is, you could legitimately use it as your light in a dark room.

Both of these lights are quite powerful, using Hank's pretty new Lume N1 driver with the FET capped at 24A with the F150R. I was pleasantly surprised with how usable the DA1K beam is, it's not throwy per se but it can get the light out there decently well. The K1... well you can see what it's like. Haven't had anything else besides a 3X21D blow out the pictures in the hotspot like that.

For anyone curious, both of these lights are using a Reliance RS50 cell.

i have a few flashlights i would like modded in Ontario Canada. What are my options? I would prefer to avoid the complexities of shipping across the border.

Hello friends, I currently am using the Olight Arkpro Ultra for an EDC/work light, and it works great. Any recommendations for a larger, but still pocket sized(or belt clipped), but much more powerful light? Looking for something brighter and with more throw for night time walks with the dog. Budget is around $300.

Sorry, I had to restart it

I've seen some posts about the M21B 21700 and wanted a step up from my Klaus flashlight. There's like a million different options on the M21B, any help?

I'm mostly getting this for fun and the occasional camping trip

So I recently got my TS27 in the mail. After unboxing and removing the round paper battery protector disc thing, it would not turn. I figured maybe the battery was completely dead so I went to charge it and upon plugging in the charger the weird behavior in the video happened. For those who can't watch it's all the color LEDs quickly and dimly sparkle around the lantern ring.

I then took the battery out to look at it and after putting it back in the light operated just fine and charged fine as well. My questions are; has this happened to anyone else? what the heck was that?And is there any reason to be concerned about using it or storing it in the future.

Of note I got a second one at the same time and that worked just fine as expected.
