(21)

"Is hard to beat."

"Acebeam K75."

"I recommend an Acebeam P16 to a friend in LE and he loves it."

"The Acebeam x75 with the 70.3 emitters is what you need."

"Could throw that far about 3km."

"I'd recommend the Acebeam L35."

"In comparison the Acebeam L19 which someone else mentioned focuses 1,650 lumens."

"The acebeam e75 is probably your best bet."

(18)

"I went with the OLight Arkfield Pro."

"Olight Arkfeld Ultra."

"I beat the crap out of my Olight Seeker 4 Pro. And just keeps working like the day it was new!"

(17)

"I have the tlr7 sub and really like it."

"Streamlight Pro Tac 2.0"

"Stream light Stinger without a doubt. Changed agencies last year and they issue mag lights and mine hasn’t left the charger."

"The Streamlight lights are the best hands down."

"Streamlight Stinger best bang for your buck"

"Streamlight Stinger. It’s built like a tank. Yeah it’s big but I trust it with my life."

Convoy

4.6

(14)

"If you can use a thrower or just want one get a convoy l21b with sft40 or culpm1 emitter."

"Convoy m3c xhp70.3 r70 4000k with 26800 extension."

"This light should do well for you... Comes out under $45... Light has USB-C port, decent wide hotspot and floody."

"Convoy T3 or T4 with AA batteries and set to 100% one mode."

"T3 is awesome as 'just works' light."

"You can setup the UI to a single output or many other options but single output is likely easiest."

"Convoy M21F with XHP70.3 is a great choice, with battery it is less than $50."

"But if I had only gotten lights, then definitely Convoy t3 in titanium would have been my choice."

"There are a ton of awesome Convoy, Wurkkos, and Sofirn flashlights under $50."

"Look into Convoys 18650 offerings."

"For hiking I would get a headlamp. Sofirn HS21 has very good flood for the near area, amazing throw for a headlamp, can combine both and has good red light."

"Sofirn SC33, but I’d recommend a headlamp for hiking any day over a flashlight. For under $50 check out the Sofirn HS21."
