Which discontinued flashlights do you wish were still made?

[fivemega]

. I would like to see Surefire A21 which is look like A2 but powered with single 21700 and A221 with double 21700 cells.
You can easily draw 3 Amps from each 21700
Am I alone or anybody else with me?

Sofirn CR01R - 660nm Deep Red LED. 36 lumen / 9 lumen / 0.5 lumen AAA.
My go-to for when I need a red light when flying. Although, truth be told I normally use a moonlight white LED instead of red most of the time.

I’d also like to add stuff made by Fivemega! Are you still machining bodies?

 

[elzilcho]

Zebralight SC32. Cool white version would be my first choice but I could make do with warm white. So small. Perfect range of brightness options for all the things a little pocket EDC light needs to do. Wish I’d bought several when they were still available.

Please use PM and let me know what you need.

Which flashlights do you wish were still made today?

The first one that comes to mind is my Nitecore LA10 CRI. This little 1xAA high CRI light with retractable lantern hood and magnetic base is a joy, just absolutely perfect in every way.

Second would be the Fenix TK22 TAC, which I just bought. It boggles my mind that they discontinued this light.

Third, my Leatherman Serac S3. An updated version of this light with a newer emitter and a newer driver circuit would be absolutely killer.
Related, my Fenix E12 v2.0, which is much better than the E12 v3.0 that has replaced it. I suspect the E20 v2.0 will soon be replaced with a similar v3.0 that will also be worse.

Bring back the U2 but make it better, and make it WORK!!!

Yes you are right, the U2 V1.5 was the UM2. A really cool light that works like the U2, but with 600lm.

Still use my U2's even if they have 100 or 120lm. I'd be happy with a UM2 V2.0 that is 18650 capable and has ~1000lm, but 600lm as permanent output are quite fine for me.

I'm a bit confused here, is this thread about lights that we wish a company made, or about lights that they did make, but no longer do so? cuz i'm pretty sure SF never made 21700 incandescent light, or did I missed something?

You are correct, I also would not know a SF light that is 21700 capable.

Nitecore LA10 CRI

This is still my go-to light for hotel room bathrooms. Arguably the smallest usable lantern available.

I wish it had a warmer tint, but it works. Brightness and runtime are good.

 

[scalpel_ninja]

The Elzetta ZFL pumpkin heads are top of the list for me. I’m late to the P60 party but have been able to find 3x of every ZFL head except the crenulated pumpkins. Anyone looking to sell?

Second would be the 3L+ Malkoffs and third the fabled Malkoff dome light!

There’s one up for sale here.

I remember thinking that the Nitecore LA10 looked very cool when it came out -- I loved the diffuser that twisted in and out of the body.
But I could not convince myself to get one, because I figured that I had silicone diffusers that would do pretty much the same thing on the end of a conventional AA light, and give me a greater range of choices for output, color, CRI, etc., when used with different lights.
Still looks cool!

 

[SassyRascal]

Hey hey! Thanks for the heads up! I have an ebay alert set up for elzetta and they haven’t sent the email yet. Just grabbed it, a 3 cell body too I have too many spare bravo bodies lol

 

[aginthelaw]

Did someone say Liteflux..?

Talk about presentation!!!

 

[archimedes]

I'm not sure when Chapman/Leonard stopped producing their LensLight, but those seem to have disappeared, unfortunately.

 

[troutpool]

1. 4Sevens Quark Mini CR2. Simple lightweight 3-mode twisty.
2. Surefire Outdoorsman, single cell, 2-mode.
3. Sofirn C01 and C01S.

 

[Monocrom]

I'd say CR2 powered lights in general. Along with N-cell lights too.
You can still find both types of batteries at your local neighborhood pharmacy.
But good luck finding the lights outside of Streamlight's 3N-cell model.

These are certainly not mainline, but one has been in my pocket
for over 10 years and still is. Still works. would be nice to be able
to buy a new one but they seem to be gone. A nice light for $12.99!
Zoom spot-to-flood, high/med/low/strobe/SOS, tail switch, and
18650 battery.
It's the OxyLED MD50.
Ridiculously bright when I need it, and just enough without leaving
spots in my eyes when on low. It's a little large at 5.5" but I'm used
to it. Shown with my 10 year old Kershaw Blur, Ken Onion design.

I wish they would bring back the Pelican 1900 (Mitylite) series. They were so small and so light you often forgot you were carrying one. Also very bright for its time.

I liked a lot of the plastic lights with xenon bulbs that used to be available, especially the Buck 4-AA ones in bright orange that I had so many of at one time.
