    Recommend me an interesting light with XHP series emitter

    Hello fellow enthusiasts. Upon my realisation that I mostly need short to medium range illumination, such as in my yard, garden, etc, I set out on a mission to get me some balanced beam, floodier type of light. My longer range needs are covered by XPL HI based throwers, but due to their narrow...

    Difference in these high power LEDs in LAYMAN terms

    Hi, im perfectly okay with turbo in short bursts, i use it only to illuminate distant targets or to point some direction. Otherwise I mainly use moonlight mode or the low to medium levels. As for the host body, im also OK with beefier 26650 single cell types, and also with the multi-tube or...

    Difference in these high power LEDs in LAYMAN terms

    Thanks for your input. Im not in a hurry, so i will do my research first. There is the UTorch UT02 available on the budget side, which has the XHP 35 Hi inside. But as it pumps out only 1300 lumens max, im assuming it is underdriven, what is your opinion on this one? And can you perhaps...

    Difference in these high power LEDs in LAYMAN terms

    This is precisely the kind of info im looking for!!! So my next assumption is that although the XHP 35 HI doesnt have the smallest die size, it still makes a very good choice because throw potential due to no dome and lumen pumping in the 2000+ range. I also believe this would work well with...

    Please help me choose from these compact throwers

    Hi again, in the end I went for the Nitecore MH20GT. Great compact light, good throw for its size, well balanced mode spacing and build quality. Fits my needs perfectly.

    Recommend international LED flashlight sellers

    Hi. Due to significant price differences between local sellers and for example GearBest, Im willing to risk the warranty hassle for price. Some models there were up to 30-40 Euro cheaper. As some of the lights Im interesting in are missing there, can you guys recommend other, reliable...

    Please help me choose from these compact throwers

    Keitho, thanks for your suggestions too. However according to various videos I saw the Emisars have some unfinished issues like faulty driver protection and overheating.

    Please help me choose from these compact throwers

    Hello all, thanks for your input. The Streamlight, Manker, Malkoff and Emisar are rather unknown brands here, so I cook with what I have. At least now I know what I want more precisely. Im looking for a compact, rugged outdoor light, with nice beam profile and ideally rechargeable with USB port...

    Please help me choose from these compact throwers

    Throw is not a top priority, i just meant that it should be on the throwy side, not a floodlight. I would welcome a tighter, sharper beam, thats all, thanks. Which of the models i listed would you go for and why?
