Favorite Buget light.

[ven]

Its a decent light IL, honestly cant fault it . Nice warm tint, simple UI with the 3 mode option(cant be doing with disco stuff) and a good happy medium throw/spill in a solid host. Only issues i have found with convoy are where you buy from , there are fakes/copies about that have similar build/quality to *****fire . My last purchase from banggood was a fake, iirc early last year and dont think i have ordered much since. Got my money back due to this and breaking pretty much straight away(m1).

Best and safest options are from mtn electronics/ simon off ali express.

Ok thanks again Ven. I'll check out those venders because I really don't want to get the inferior work-up type item. Btw, I was able to do a resistor mod on my Convoy L6 and went from 3800 lumens to 4500 lumens. I was thinking of the SD mod next but the tint is sooo ideal right now that I might just leave it be. Oh, got the Convoy L6 for $48. since we're on the budget thread.

can anybody point me to a USA vendor with a $10 ish single A, clickie light. getting headache going through all the amazon pages. had given my mom a fenix e11 and she must have had an alkaline in it or the electronics fried themselves, cant really tell, but theres damage on intererior, but she needs another light.

I cant bring myself to part with any of my numerous lights, and only have a xeno aa clickie, but I like it also lol and dont want it destroyed by non rechargables.

PM me link if its not permitted to post it here, thx

Check out the thrunite T10 , alloy version, 3 mode with a moon and not much over budget................really is a great light for the money imo.

It's your mom Dawg! Don't cheap out like that. Will it kill you to cough up $20 for the lady who changed your ****** diapers?
Get her a Convoy and a 4 pack of lithiums for Petes sake.



My new favorite budget light.


The 1aa Pelican 2350.
$25 with lifetime guarentee against failures and breakage. Kinda hard to beat that.

You could consider the Coast HP1.

I bought a budget light once from Dxsoul, the Ultrafire C1, I got lucky and got a good one, some of friends ordered the same light and there`s was toast out of the box, it`s a gamble buying a budget light.

I love the Boruit z8 (also seen it stamped bell + howell tac light, militac, weeshop x800, shadowhawk x800, alonefire, streamlight (xml-t6), lumitact G700). For $20 (CAD) locally I've picked up 3 of these so far, with 4 unbranded ones coming from ebay at $5 each now.

I've put them through EDC in construction, longboarding (and a few high speed drops), mild use as a blunt striking object, and most recently 2 metres deep in a river (had to dry it out after, but it kept shining the whole time it was submerged). The heads tend to loosen up after a while, the paint doesn't last when stored with keys, and concrete dust does a number on the lens, but at the price (and they throw in a 3xAAA adapter, at least for the boruit), I haven't found a better light.

The hugsby xp-2 is a great 2 AAA flashlight. I have used one for work for a year now. It's super bright and $5 on aliexpress. There is a lot of fake hugsby xp-2 on there also. Hard to spot the difference. It's in the pocket clip. But seller will picture a genuine hugsby and send a fake. The fake ones are easier to mod though.

Not exactly budget but I bought a coast Hp3r. I like it but paid too much for it. Like the fact that it's rechargeable by micro USB and it can take regular AAA batteries.

 

[akoposilester]

blf a6 in regular and shortube. always in my bag. but now its on my bike.

 

[tops2]

Right now I'm liking my Eagle Eye X6 HI version with neutral led for when used outside. The price is so cheap but the light feels so solid!

[h=1]Convoy C8 LED Flashlight[/h] - U6 3A, great light, cost less than USD20. Amazing thrower.

My favourite budget light is also my favourite cost-no-object light:The Maglite Solitaire Incan. It can't be beaten for the nocturnal call of nature no matter how much you spend. Mine gets used every night and I can't say that about any other of my lights.

 

[dmattaponi]

Thrunite TN4a and Ti3 are my favorite budget lights.

 

[zieloczek100]

Securitying 700

[youdoofus]
