I've changed up the format here to make the list easier to maintain and present the information more clearly. I don't plan on making site-specific versions anymore; I hope the community won't find that too self-promotional.

Thank you as always for your hard work!

Here's some feedback, take it as you wish:

  • A changelog from the previous version is always nice.
  • For the 'Quick List', consider emphasizing the light's niche, rather than the model names which are probably meaningless to newcomers. For example:
    • Budget General Use Light: Wurkkos FC11
    • Headlamp / Angle Light: Skilhunt H04 RC
    • Long-Range "Thrower" Light: Sofirn IF22A
  • Typo? Convoy Z1 B35AM.

Thank you for the update! Really curious about the H150. I hope they will release it soon.

Thanks for this list - very useful! Just happened to stumble across this community, and could do with a new torch/flashlight for work. Excellent timing!

Note the Manker E02 and E03 are 25% off right now, from the links on your list.

You might add the D25 series headlamps. I think they are made by Boruit, though sold by Sofirn and others. They work and are ridiculously cheap, starting at $17 here: https://www.sofirnlight.com/collections/headlamps

Added: they have a 20% off code too! So they start under $14 w/o battery.

I'm looking for a thrower for hiking. Either 18650 or built in charging port. No idea what throw distance I want. Biased towards right angle but I think those aren't common for lights focused on throw. Is the IF22A my best option or is there something better? Price not an issue, to a limit (290 is above that limit).

Thank you for continuing to support this new community. And the new format looks great!

Thanks for making the list!

The Amazon links for the Thrunite TC20 v2 aren't working. TS10 price is now $23.99

Just wanted to say thanks for this list. As a new consumer of flashlight content, this was very useful way to catch up on common considerations and some models to consider. I even picked up a Wurkkos FC11 for $23. What a step up over the random cheap flashlight I was using before! And this is considered a “cheap” flashlight?! I was doing some comparisons with the crappy flashlight I had before: Of course, the brightness and feature set is so much better, but the high CRI of the FC11 is magical! What a great flashlight!

@zakreviews @flashlight

Awesome new format, it looks pretty good.

I also thought that the Sofirn BLF LT1 was much more expensive, I think I might get one.
