Holy cow, what a collection. Appreciate the time spent on this review! Shocked i didnt see the old surefire sidekick in the keychain section though. Still carry to this day, 8 years going strong!

[@toobalicious]

@29:38 The Olight Baton 4 Premium. I liked it so much (along with the case), that I put one in each of our cars and truck, along with a 1' usb-c cable. Turns out, my wife has used it twice and is now an advocate - including once where she ran her iPhone down to about 2% and was able to use the case and cable to charge her phone a bit. Not the best for EDC, but for car emergency use - you can't beat it.

[@severzero]

I appreciate the video. I admit I’m a streamlight fanboy but I’ve used them for over 20 years in very demanding environments. I once was forced to use one to chip out ice from a locked up wheel well in -30 degree weather and I still use that light every now and then till this day. I stick to primary battery lights as well because I am constantly using my light and can’t afford down time for recharging but I see the use. I agree the microstream usb is pretty bad and almost never use mine. Thanks for the vid!

[@ThisJustIn81]

Lumintop tool aa is currently at 3.0 I carry this light the most as it has a simple UI, small size and great output. The pocket clip is still horrible though. Also, has the lighted tail switch. I understand some people hate it but in my experience its an imperceptible amount of additional drain. Also thanks hugely for all the links. I know that took some time and I appreciate your time and effort for that. I've been passively intrested in reylight mini pineapple for awhile but based on your recommendation ive got my eyes on an anodized beauty that i think im going to get sometime in the near future!

[@focusonthefocus]

This was a crazy good video. Thanks for the overview.

[@KYROandHisThings]

I watched the entire video from start to finish. Great video. A couple comments i'll make is that even with my large and growing collection of lights, I still haven't found a AA/AAA/18350 size light that i'm in love with. Plenty that are serviceable and that I use, but none that wow me. I reach for the SC13 the most in that area due to ease of moonlight mode. The other thing i'll say is that I disagree about the Baton 3 pro. I have a video coming out soon specifically on that light and though it may be outclassed by the warrior mini 3 for enthusiasts, there are plenty of people that simply don't like tail switches on their lights and having the baton 3 pro as an option thats still 18650 is great. That said, yes I also prefer the warrior mini 3.

[@Indozizz]

The Warrior x4 also has a medium and strobe in tactical setting. Thank you for the awesome video!

[@maxlvledc]

I always find that a bit wonky..the 300 medium and 2600 turbo does it for me.

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

im an Olight guy mainly but the Wuben E7 has impressed me, grabbed it at $23 last week and its seriously small and pocketable.. decent runtime and output, and looks quite sci-fi movie design, very happy with it!

Baton Turbo needs to go to the top row i'd say, picked one up and for its size its AMAZING..... literal perfection for its size and class.. they nailed it.. i also own a warrior X4 and Seeker Pro 4, Baton 4 etc etc... but the Turbo goes in my pocket every time..

[@jaggster]

Very informative video. I really appreciate you going through and sharing your feedback on these lights. The only suggestion I have is that it would be very nice if someone would invest the time to create a spreadsheet with all these flashlights separated into the different categories with the links to the Amazon pages to make it easier to look up the specs, etc. for those interested in making a purchase.

[@maxlvledc]

Hmmm, great idea..but damn that would be a LOT OF WORK

[@jaggster]

Not so hard with the help of AI. I'll see if I can't get this done tomorrow.

[@jaggster]

I'm not sure how to add a link to the document. Can I send it to you?

[@riskmandel1]

This was great! Watched it twice! I'd be curious to hear how your assessment of some of these lights has changed since your initial review. I thought you liked some of these more than it seems you do, particularly some of the Olights. I value your opinion, so it's helpful to get your longer-term perspective.

[@maxlvledc]

Yep, some of these went up, some went down..I'd also guess it will change again if I keep them around.

[@jacobclabough6054]

Technically the warrior x4 has another two modes. If you turn on the flashlight and unscrew the cap and screw it back on, it will change the interface where half press is in between the high and low mode and a full press is strobe mode.

[@michaelhall4009]

I can’t believe I didn’t see a lumintop frog! Great video man and I 100 percent agree I would love to see an OLIGHT Arkfeld ultra MINI! the original Arkfelds were a great size as well.

[@Tyguy760]

I was 3 for 3 in best ATM for flashlights that I own until the PD25. WHAT! I just leave it on medium setting and orient the clip so the button is really easy to find quickly without looking. Easily my favorite in this category in my collection. Awesome video though!

[@rogibaer]

I'm looking at the Wuben L1 Dual as a do-all EDC/Large Flashlight. I especially like the choice of color-friendly Nichia and full-blast LEDs. But that Olight Arkfeld Ultra looks pretty good. Thanks again. 😊

[@zackleichliter9806]

On the coast slayer, one button is for a pre saved mode and the other cycles through modes so you can save the high setting. Just have to read the instructions.

[@Proyectosandia]

Great collection! I agree with almost everything, even with trying to avoid flashlights with weird or proprietary connections. BUT, Skilhunt for instance make great flashlights, and if you loose the connector, you can always charge the battery in a standard charger. It's just a flashlight without USB-C (which might sound bad but there are no rubber caps either). I wouldn't discard such a great brand because of this. Imalent on the other hand has some flashlights like the LD70 with a weird connector and you cannot open the flashlight to charge the battery outside.

[@nuclearphish8051]

Yeah, some of the picks here seemed rather arbitrary. Proprietary magnetic charging is a deal breaker even when the light could take anything from regular 1,2-1,5V AA batteries to 14500s with a built-in usb-c charging in the battery itself, but built-in non-replaceable batteries are fine? Except then there's stuff like the Arkfeld with both non-replaceable battery AND completely proprietary charging, and that is not only passable but gets the highest possible ranking too? And no regard for the quality of drivers in general and regulated outputs etc? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand personal taste is personal taste and sometimes it's just impossible to put on paper why something works for you and something else doesn't. I still really like videos like this, even if they can sometimes get a little confusing. :D

[@ChristopherRobin58]

Love these ranking videos you do! 🙌 Personally, I love my Microstream USB. I have a decent collection and that's the one that almost always makes it back into my pocket. I'd like more settings, but it's so compact and the battery lasts so long for me using it daily. Also, I have the Sofirn SC32 from your recommendation a long time ago, and it does go straight to turbo with a double tap. Depends on the mode you have it set to. Very curious to see your thoughts on the new Nitecore EDC23! Keep these awesome reviews going! We're here for it!

[@mhsvz6735]

Dude, check this out. The Lumintop EDC01 (the AAA model) can run a 10440 lithium ion battery. Three output modes, low medium, high, with the high end putting out about 600 lumens. I have one I’ve been using for over a year with the 10440 battery and she’s still going strong.

Surprised it didn't melt! Very cool

[@lucas_nto]

Actually, the manual says you should NOT use a 10440.

@@justmeonlyme the ones that use 2 aaa's can safely use a 10440 and a dummy battery, so instead of 3.0 volts your getting 3.7, which makes it a little brighter. a single aaa going from 1.5 volts to a 3.7 v 10440 is dangerous imo

[@phil2082]

The little i3e AAA flashlight should have been in your top category. It should at least be in the "staple" category. AAA batteries are absurdly easy to find, and that little flashlight is so easy to use, punching way above its size and weight class.

This is a nice big collection

[@twinty3326]

Olight Arkfeld pro and Warrior mini 3 will always be my edc, something about them just makes them perfect to me. If/when the Arkfeld Ultra gos on sale again I'll probably grab one of them. I ended up getting the loop SK03 and while it is cool I don't think it's anything special. I will give it one thing however, it is far easier to give to someone and they will almost always be able to use both functions without instructions. Compared that to a Rovyvon A8 or A28, witch might be one of the more complex lights with a similar functionality. Probably going to return it because I am the only one who would need side LEDs and I have a A8 and A28.

[@maxlvledc]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these torches. You've given me a couple of ideas. I do have a slightly higher opinion of a couple of the flashlights than you, but that's OK. (P16, IF23, Baton Turbo). I was curious about the lack of Wuben. Did you have a bad experience there?

I just never found a light of theirs that really has me interested.

This was a great review. You must love collecting lights! I can see the passion for it. I have two lights now and understand the feeling. Researching for a third led me to this video. I hope one day you have as large a collection of mega lights as you do with the rest! Love to get your thoughts on stuff like the nitecore tm20k or tm12k, or something crazy like the acebeam w50. I was given a Klarus E3. Wonder what your thoughts are on that?

[@0nemoa]

You are wrong about the GT Nano, You do not need anything else to charge the batteries. You can put them in any good charger, especially with the 10440. I do it all of the time. Nothing personal, just gotta call you out on the fact that you literally put flashlights into your higher tier that can only be charged using a proprietary charger into your higher tiers. Again nothing personal just gotta call it when I see it. And if you want a smaller 18650 light that will maintain 2000 lumens output check out the Wurkkos FC12. It may be the best budget flashlight you can get to be honest. And it has a USB C port as I can see how much you like having those on your lights lol. It also has a great beam. And It has also been fully torture-tested and it truly can withstand more then you could ever throw at it.

[@gts5930]

Great collection and comparison! Thanks. Poor GT Nano...😕

[@enonek2960]

Not sure I agree or disagree, because I am totally new to the EDC flashlight world. Loving the VIDS!.

Also how do you personally evaluate each flashlight?

[@plausible.deaniability]

thank you for putting this together!

[@StratmanII]

I only began my flashlight hobby earlier this year and I realized that I had a flashlight addiction once I had surpassed six flashlights. 😞 Fortunately I drilled some sense into me and managed to reduce my cravings by putting in some self-imposed restrictions: 1. The flashlight must not cost above US$45, inclusive of discount vouchers. 2. Buy only models from Wurkkos, Sofirn or Convoy. I skipped watching YT reviews of any other brands other than these three. 3. Choose torches that only use the 18650 or 21700 battery format (including host tube upgrades to 18650). Even with those rules in place, I still managed to end up with 14 Wurkkos, 12 Sofirn and 4 Convoy flashlights! 🔦😭💸

[@onedirection3510]

A friendly beg to differ! I really don’t see how you can push aside the baton 3 pro so easily in favor of the Pro Max. The baton three does better in runtimes on Eco mode and has significantly greater Candella in general. As for as the warrior mini 3 it only outperforms the baton 3 pro on candela which is definitely a plus. However, once again, the baton three pro last longer in Eco mode. I doubt the scenario would come up where people need hundreds of days of Eco mode but nonetheless, we’re talking comparative statistics here. Next item! 😅 I’m not too sure the i3T 2 outperforms the original. It’s not as bright in low mode. In high mode it’s barely a smidgen brighter if anything. Not really sure they could legitimately call it a new and improved from the original. So happy you gave mention to the venerable Streamlight 1L-1AA! I totally agree that an upgrade to a 3.7 battery would be amazing. Tail standing would be great too. If the little Nitecore MT1A pro can push out 800 lumens I mean come on Streamlight! Great review!

[@roguebshyt9790]

just curious, why don’t you own any Emisar or Fireflylite? I don’t know if you ever talked about this in some other videos, but not seeing any of those in that collection was kinda strange since I think that at some point you’ll end up owning at least one of those. Lately Fireflylite is making great products, they’ve some defects as someone reported some issues, but I’ve got a perfectly functioning Stellar X4 which I find to be the perfect EDC substitute to the Seeker 4 Pro (too big to carry in my pocket daily), even replacing my Baton 4 since I prefer warmer tints and high CRI in my usage scenario. Having only the Seeker as a 21700 example I found the Stellar amazingly compact, for a 21700.

Very good list i agree with most of it. Baton 3 pro is absolutely top tier though. Warrior mini 3 is great if you never work with metal shavings or need to actually use the magnet. But if you want flood light/magnet/durability baton 3 pro is a no brainer. Also thrunite t1 pro should be right next to warrior mini 3. Anything with a proximity sensor should be thrown in the garbage. I've never tried the baton 3 pro Max maybe it outclasses baton 3 pro idk. If nextorch made ta30c with ultra low and got rid of strobe on rotary switch, half press medium full press turbo it would be absolutely perfect.

don't like the Sofirn IF23 in theory it's really good but im struggling to find usb-c cables that fit into the nook, the flashlight is too heavy for the magnet and also to heavy to carry around on a shirt because it will fold in. But the biggest downside is that it keeps turning on in my pocket and it's really powerfull. It melted the pouch for my hearing protection and i had to take it out off my pocket because there was smoke coming out off my pants

It’s funny 🤔, I’m sitting here watching this great 1-hour video about flashlights (super entertaining and informative as always! 👍), but I still can’t find something that matches my needs. I’m currently using the Wurkkos FC11 with 1,300 lumens, about 144 meters of range, and a color temperature around 4,000K with a CRI of 90. The size is perfect for the pocket, the waterproofing (IPX-7) is good, and I love that you can swap out the battery 🔋. BUT I really wish it had a more focused beam - somewhere around 56,000 cd for a longer throw, but keeping the 1,300 lumens. I wouldn’t mind more lumens, but the beam pattern is the priority. I’d also prefer longer battery life over more brightness, as 1,300 lumens is enough for me. Also, I’d love an improved button and handling of the UI. A rotating head would be nice for work situations too, but that’s secondary. Any recommendations that fit these specs?❤

I just ordered the fc11c the other day ($21 with a battery on wurkkos' site). I was looking to do the opposite as you. I currently carry a pokelit most days and have a Fenix tk16 v2 that I got as a gift a couple years ago. The tk16 is a monster and while a little chunky, does work in a pocket. And the tail cap button on the pokelit is gross feeling, great light though. I wanted something "in-between". Small enough to carry everyday and sort of a pleasing, usable light for my daily situations. I guess just a "boring" every day light. So I landed on the fc11c. Plus, if I need a throwy light, the Fenix is really something special to have in your pocket.

@@robertmorano2372 Thank you so much! It’s funny, the more you dive into the details, the more specific your requirements become, and it gets harder to find something that meets them. There are thousands of great flashlights, but somehow you end up almost blinded by all the options.

Which is a good cheap light for under 20 bucks

[@mjiopytrklk]

The FC12 is an absolutely fantastic light, but it has a bug: when in low mode sometimes it doesn't turn on and needs to be reset by pressing the side switch for 5 seconds. (I personally experienced this bug). Whis they fixed it since it has been known for a while Anyway, great video

[@brandonlee8582]

All true... sometimes you can also reset by pressing 5 times. Otherwise, battery removal works every time. But 18350 tube and warrior mini clip still makes this one of my favorite thrower lights to carry.

[@mjiopytrklk]

@@brandonlee8582 while I still prefer the FC12 I think the convoy s6 (which I have) is a good choice for a small thrower. The UI isn't as good as the FC12, but it's lighter and even cheaper.

[@maxlvledc]

I'll ask them, So far my newer updated one hasn't had the issue.

[@mjiopytrklk]

@@maxlvledc thanks a lot! Unfortunately the issue is with the updated version

[@ChiseledChin]

Mine didn't last 6 months. Garbage. Just get the tn12 pro don't bother with the fc12

[@DaVinci740]

I love the baton 4, hate the pocket clip, I like my emitter pointing down so I have to use the part of the clip that’s for the bill of a hat and it’s a pain the ass getting it in my pocket

[@LarryGarfieldCrell]

What qualifies a light as "tactical"? Is there really a definition, or is it just "black and scary"?

[@diemman70]

Usually the definition involves a rear switch that activates a turbo mode or strobe.

[@maxlvledc]

2 things for me: must have tail switch, and pressing that tail switch MUST activate either turbo or strobe (being over 10,000CD and 1000Lm is also a plus)

[@LarryGarfieldCrell]

@@maxlvledc What is the purpose of that, in particular? Is tactical code for self defense blinding weapon? That seems to be the implication but I've never seen it states explicitly.

[@GuillermoCordero28]

@@LarryGarfieldCrell The definition of the word tactical refers to military focused gear, therefore the flashlights must be easier to access on the Turbo settings and not have any complicated UI to avoid turning the light on lower settings by accident. Oxford definition of the word Tactial: "relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end".
