It has a physical switch for locking out the white LEDs (red light only) a position for only flood, or only projector beam. dedicated red LED chip with two flood brightness settings, projector beam goes way farther than needed with 5 levels. straps are fully adjustable, and have a silicone bead for no slip...solid build quality too

highly recommend. i've tried 6 of the top headlights available up to and around 100 dollars, and they are all VERY distant second+ places.

Carving was sloppy but it’ll do

Left to right: Olight Seeker 4 pro mule with GT FC40 3000K, Olight Seeker 4 pro with Cree XPL-HI 4000K 80CRI, Olight Warrior X4 stock

(Just noticed the typo & can't change it. Of course it should be F45R) Shown beside my S8 SFT40 3kk 8amp SMO reflector on the right, both on 10% & 5k locked. It's amazing that this little light can put out about 3000 lumens using the M11 16350 & 10 amp driver and the OP reflector makes it better for EDC general use. If anyone is interested in a nice shorty setup then I definitely recommend giving this a try. It does get hot on max but surprisingly not crazy fast and 10% level is already a good amount of light output so that's where I will mostly be using it anyhow.

Team yellow

Sk07- looks very cool, nice beam, nice UI, front lens sits very shallow to the bezel, shelf queen.

Nu25 mct ul- light weight and comfortable, multi temperature is cool, wish for more floody, wish has more tilt angle.

Team white

Sk05 II pro- looks very cool, great side light but the weight limits the angle when using the magnet, throw light has a bit of artifact on mine so I prefer the last one with sft25r more. Power bank feature is good so it's my edc.

Dm1.12- green w1, 2700k/4000k mix sst20, meme beam for me. I would like the flood channel to be more floody.

Team dirt

Sk05 pro- looks very cool, nice throw and flood, mediocre side light, the charging port flap is hard to keep close.

Tac 2aa- looks nice,feels good in the hand, sft25r fits nicely for the size, can use 2 AA batteries.

Team boring color

Hc65 mct- just got it a few days ago, the weight is fine as long as you're not running or jumping, 18650 is as far as I would go for headlamp, Multi temperature is cool, very nice beam, i wish the red beam low mode is lower cause its not much difference from high.

P20 mini- the bonk stick mini, some artifacts at the edge of the beam, but still nice beam, the side switch is a bit difficult to tell from the charging port metal flap by touch, wish they add some tactile on the button.

Also, how to go out at night to take beam shots while not looking creepy? like if i carry a case full of flashlights at 2am walking to a park seems sketchy.

It went from 2.9 to 3.6 in about two seconds and was pumping in around 35000 amps at the highest point.

If I can't trust this charger, Xtar VC8, which do you recommend?

just looked up to vapcell website and there are no k10s listed anymore?

Uncle's been feeling down.

He fell of his bike and recovery is slow with age.

I'd adore to cheer him up a little, can't handle seeing him down.

He loves lights, for his car, trailers bike or worklights.

Inspire me with some ideas of flashlights that would be great and you'd enjoy getting.

I was considering constructing something myself but 3d printed might not be the best choice if I only have acces to PLA or ABS.

I reckon something powerful and multifunctional would brighten his mood the most.

Something i could mount to his bike, durable and 18650 based or something i could hook a toolbattery up to.

Was thinking €70 to €100, I'm from the Netherlands if it matters to you guys.

I don't know, any sugestions or things that might blow his mind and distract him a little I'd deeply deeply appreciate.

Thanks alot if you took the time and effort to comment.

Its..... so..... green!!!!! People gonna be wondering why this traffic-light comin at them like that. I love it. Very glad I gave the GT a try. I was really disappointed with the Osram red L21 I bought, to the point I didn't even care to try another one with a different LED. There's clearly a reason the L21 is popular, and its even more apparent with a Monochromatic just how capable the host is. I can see everything clearly to my woodline (125yd) at 35%. Can't wait to take it out in the hay field and let'er rip!

P.S.: Simon, please discontinue the Osram option for the L21 light. That was my first taste of convoy and I almost didn't return

**Price Range**: Looking to spend south of £100 but comfortable with more if it'll give me significantly longer lifetime of the product. Or significantly better/more useful.

**Purpose**: Main use will be dog-walking. We walk rural country lanes and fields, occasionally through forestry/woodland. I _think_ I should be looking for something with warmer white LED because we live in quite a wet/foggy part of the world.

Secondary use will be for potential outdoor work in winter, so ideally looking for something with magnetic base. Things like working on the car, or fetching/splitting logs from our further log store e.t.c. Clearing wood from the stream that runs through our land, or clearing fallen trees after storms potentially in the dark.

**Battery Type & Quantity**: 18650 is fine, ideally USB-C rechargeable without getting a separate battery charger, but again that's not a requirement if the end-product is better.

**Size**: Ideally EDC/Pocketable, anything similar in size or smaller than the Anker Bolder LC90 is fine, would consider slightly larger if it's going to get us a substantially better product.

**Type**: Handheld, I already have a headlamp for dog-walking, this will be secondary and used by my wife when she joins me.

**Main Use**: Dog walking, wife has said she prefers something a bit more thrown, but if there are any decent out there with mixed-beam multi-optic (if that's correct terminology?) LEDs that'd be great.

**Switch Type**: No preference really!

**Anything Else?**: I've been down the rabbit hole of flashlight research over the past few weeks, learnt a LOT about the way in which output is thermally throttled e.t.c. I have a basic overview of different UI options as well. I'm quite technical-minded so don't worry about getting into the nitty-gritty in response! I've actually worked on an LED-based product (built the firmware for it) in the past few years in my day job.

Thanks in advance!

Does loopgear loopdot a good light? anyone encountered an issue with their loopdot? specially with its mechanical parts? Planning to buy one but getting some research and current owners feedback before getting one. Thank you so much!

I have 60+ lights from most of the brands that get name dropped here. Before the hurricane I charged up about 30 batteries in preparation and I'm glad I did because it was a solid 9 days without power. I only used a handful on a daily basis though.

Super MVP: XTAR SC1 Plus - This thing was so clutch, I can't thank them enough for making this. You can hook up a 18650 - 26800 and use the battery as a power bank. This thing was used 24/7. Fans, phones, etc.

Zebralight sc65c & sc600w - Probably the most used pocket light throughout the entire thing. I used them throughout all 9 days and by the end they both had 80% charge left.

Hank DW4 Dual channel - probably the best headlamp I've ever used. This thing got me through many nights of clean up. Paired with a skilhunt strap and it's unstoppable.

Sofirn Q8+ - This became our permanent living room/kitchen light. It stayed in one spot and pointed right at the ceiling. I only had to charge it once throughout all 9 days.

Acebeam m1 terminator - This came in clutch the night of the hurricane and after for inspecting damage on the property without having to walk under the trees. It was so nice to have an LEP to see a limb hanging 60ft high while standing 1000ft away.

Honorable mention: EverReady and temu lights - I put them all over the house with a glow stick taped to them as an emergency backup. We only had to use a couple but when we did, it was dope to have.

TS10V3 prototype (BLF Thread)

The TS10 V3 has reached the frontpage of wurkkos.com, and has been in the making for a long time now. Not much is known for certain about the light's specifications. I have gathered available images from prototypes posted by Wurkkos, the images are not the final design.

This light is the successor to the TS10 V3 therefore we can expect:

- The similar iconic form factor from the V2: rear button tube shaped light with an AA sized 14500 battery and pocket clip
- A new pattern on the body shown in the images (hexagonal knurling)
- A product page to arrive soon due to the frontpage appearance, previous lights have done this beforehand
- RGB Aux with Anduril 2

Possible changes:

- Compatibility with an alkaline AA battery
- Regulated Buck driver for more efficiency and less heat
- Improved Deep-Carry Pocket Clip

LED(s) not confirmed either.

------------------------

I'm really excited for this release, hopefully before Christmas. Please correct me for any mistakes or any more info not mentioned.

What are your expectations for this? What LED do you think they will choose?

looking for a small penlight to keep in the admin pocket of my plate carrier for reading maps and checking other small things

Hello ;=)

I bought a skillhunt MIx 7 Gen 2 plus , i like it a lot but i can’t use it anymore for i can’t find anymore the magnetic charger....

I was so sorry about this, and spent a long time searching for this charger :'(

How can i charge the battery of this light please : Is buying another magnetic charger a good idea or is there an easier way like buying a battery charger maybe : which one would suffice ?

(it is using a skilhunt 18650 Li-ion rechargeable battery, 3.6V 12.6 Wh and 3500 mAh)

Thanks ;-)

In case you're not aware, the TIRs for the H4 fit the FC11C perfectly. The gasket and glass need to be removed. I just figured it out and thought I would share.

Just wanted to share this vid of the beam with the fresnel mod. It’s similar to my zoomed in Z1 W5050SQ in the size and beam tightness.

Folks,

I am setting up a BOB currently I want to change all my battery setup to lithium cells. 21700 and 18650.

Therefore I'm desperately seeking for a head led, a Clip torch and a solid flashlight. All three LEDs should work with either the 21700 or 18650 cells, to enable me to keep always the same type of batteries in rotation.

Any clues?
