Zak Reviews
I review flashlights and other gear at https://zakreviews.com
@technomad @flashlight
Maybe the FC11C, unless you need secondary LEDs on the side, then maybe the Sofirn IF24 Pro.
Not a lot of changes this time around:
Added SC13 519A
Added L16 v2
Updated MiX-7
Removed Convoy Z1
Pending Wurkkos TS10 Max
@carter2077 @flashlight it doesn’t have a sub-lumen low and the UI is a little weird. As more competing options became available, I think it’s less compelling.
It’s still a good flashlight, and if those traits don’t bother you, may be the right light for your.
The SP36 is a fairly large light, larger than I think most people really need for general use and camping. The FC11C is adequate, simpler to operate, and a more convenient size. Pick up a couple spare batteries if you’re concerned about runtime.
@XeroxCool
The Wuben is a round beam without cutoffs. The 20x65 TIR I have in the Convoy has little spill outside its rectangular beam.
@JazzmanJosh I like the 719A pretty well in this application. I also have one in an S21E, but the B35A is clearly better there. I have yet to try a B35A in a C8 and haven’t read about anyone else doing so. It only loses 10% throw in the S21E, but I think it would do worse in the C8.
@flashlight So far it’s looking like the 20x65 has a much harder vertical cutoff than the rest, which is desirable to avoid blinding other road users. The 10x65 and 15x30 don’t focus all that well.
@Cooljimy84 These don’t quite have the hard cutoffs that are ideal for bike lights, but they come pretty close.
