xtar + 21700 Samsung

Looking for a medium size soda-can size torch+thrower. The 4x18650 seems last longer than other similiar model/range single-cell. Any comments or other suggestions ?

Already have a head-light and a small pocket / EDC.

Not into large long-range thrower >1000m yet.

Sofirn Q88 Pro

Anyone know where I can still get a sofirn sp33 3 5000k version? Seems to be discontinued according to customer support on shopee

Try checking the second-hand market in FB group Kelab Torchlight Budget Malaysia
I sold my 5000K version over there within 3 hours of posting it online

The XHP50.2 5000K emitter is difficult to source or maybe out of production already, the reason why Sofirn discontinued the 5000K version

yeah.. been over there searching for few days and keeping an eye out there but can't find one yet..
Is the 5000k version much more comforting to the eyes compared to the 6500k?

My opinion will be biased coz I'm a tint snob
Nothing can beat the rosy pink of Nichia 219B

For any "flooder", I will opt for neutral/warmer tint albeit at the slight expense of brightness
Especially if you need the light for very close-up illumination
It doesn't strain the eyes as much as colder tint for prolong usage

yeahh.. thats exactly my thought since im getting one.. wouldn't mind sacrificing a little on brightness for the comfort of my eyes

Budget: max RM120+
Brand: Fenix, Nitecore, Olight, Thrunite, can recommend others too
Lumen: as high as possible?
Battery: Either built in or can use those rechargeable AA / AAA
Distance: around 60M?
Usage: Sometimes i take late night LRT, and might be going through streets that are not so well lit. Occasionally checking car's bonet.

Appreciate sifu2 mia recommendations.

So far I'm looking at Nitecore Tini 2 and TIP SE. Is there any model that is similar to this?

Come join olight family, the members there can help u.

Maybe you want to consider something with Strobe function, for protection....

You may look for Nitecore MH series, but may need to up your budget a bit. Try MH10v2

I have TIP SE, but I would recommend something brighter. I walk at night a lot and TIP SE may not be enough for your purpose.

oh shit, I just placed order for TIP SE, and it's otw. Bought it from Lazada RM90+. Nvm la, i see if it's bright enough when I receive it. Thanks bro.

Now I'm looking at Nitecore Tactical Pen lol

My experience, TIP SE is more suitable for confine area like Living area, bed room...

It will still work walking in a dark lorong, but may not be suitable.

Good Luck.

You can always have more than one flashlight

I keep my TIP2 at car.. For safety, not only the brightness but also strobe function for self-defense. It's okay, you may considering TIP for indoor/confined space and getting another for night walk. MH10v2 is good, gotten it at discounted price during 9.9, but still slightly beyond your budget. Else, another good choice at low budget is Sofirn.

best bang for buck lights, i've yet to own one, maybe soon

My 14500 rechargeable battery charged to 4.2v 14 months ago...
I put it in flashlight and didn't use.
I taken out the battery and checked the voltage , drop to
3.8v.
Should i charge the battery to 4.2v and keep it one side ?
If blackout and no electric...i can use flashlight as candle.
Is it wise to charge the battery to max 4.2v and keep it ?

if u wanna store ur lights, take the battery out(u can charge the batt to full and store it, no issue), if u gonna use it even occasionally, charge and leave the batt inside

depends on the light lumens mode, if got low mode(longer lasting up time), high mode also can but wont last long, u can use as candle if the beam profile is flood type, if the light got ready made diffuser, then easier

Thanks for the info.
The fully charged battery inside the flashlight will drain current itself.
I think best way is keep it outside.
After 1 year still got 70% battery power ...more than enough
for whole night use if blackout happen.

the batt will discharge whether inside light or not, just the rate of discharge is different, if keep batt separately most probably the drain will be less than if the batt is in the light, or, u can use a small plastic sheet to separate batt terminals to light's contact, then no current will go tru, when u need to use it, just uncap and remove the plastic pcs enough d


if u using AA, AAA like me, buy rechargeable ones, confirm u need to rotate them for remote controls and other things, so confirm will have extra that is 100% when u need to use it
