Wurkkos
4.6
(81)
"IMO the all round best cheap giftable light."
"This flashlight with this diffuser: FC11 diffuser"
"The light itself is great (efficient driver, high output)."
"Wurkkos fc11c"
"I have this. It is very bright and very floody."
"It's very good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wurkkos-FC12-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable/dp/B099K9NKWZ."
"Wurkkos 11C..."
"He'll love it. The SBT90.2 (the emitter) insider is very bright, but also very intense for long throw."
"Check out the Wurkos DL10R. Simple to use, bright, robust, onboard charging, no stupid blinky modes."
"Check out the Wurkkos TS32."

Olight

"I’d either go for the Olight with a dock."
"The love for Olight Arkfeild Pro was overwhelming."
"I actually have to recommend Olight in this case."
"Olight's wireless charging has legitimate utility."
"Olights, definitely olights."
"I love my OLight Warrior 3s!"
"Check out the company Olight .... they have good stuff."
"I got an Arkfeld Pro from OLight last week and I'm having fun with it."

Acebeam
4.6
(52)
"If I had to pick one light and pocketability wasn’t a concern it would be the L35."
"Acebeam L35 2.0"
"Acebeam E75"
"I really love mine a lot!"
"Acebeam L35 2.0."
"Second the e75 519a and armytek wizard c2 pro Nichia."
"What I like, if it doesn't have to be particularly comfortable in a pants pocket is the Acebeam E75."
"Acebeam E75 (519a), Wurkkos TS32, Fireflylite x4q comet (351a), and Wurkkos TS10 (519a) are my go to selection."
"Acebeam L35 2.0 would be my choice, massive wall of light."
"Acebeam E75 with Nichia 519A-V1 5000K High CRI90 LEDs is perfect in your price range."

Convoy
4.5
(53)
"Cheap enough to get like 5 of them for your budget and stash them around in case he misplaces it."
"I think anything Convoy with the tailswitch."
"Convoy M21H"
"I ended up getting the Convoy M21H."
"Any Convoy"
"Convoy S2+ is the choice here."
"IMHO the Convoy S2+ is a good host to start with."
"Get a convoy."
"Convoy M21H because it has a TIR optic."
"If you're using it mainly as a walking/hiking/trail light, the M21H paired with the 5700K XHP70.3HI R9050 emitter, with the bevy of TIR options is a better fit."
#5
Sofirn
4.6
(22)
"That would be the model I’d go for."
"I just got a Sofirn SC33. Really strong bright light."
"Sofirn HS21, has efficient throw channel."
"If you can afford it, the sofirn q8 plus is a BEAST!"
"Here's the Sofirn SP33S's beamshot."
"A sofirn if23 pro or if24 pro would be good."
"Even an inexpensive Sofirn IF22a will do the job just fine."
"My recommendation is the Sofirn SP35. It's well regulated so maintains constant brightness over the batteries life."
"I've been carrying Sofirn Sc 33 for over a year and I love it."
"Sofrin sc33 or Wurrkos ts23. Both XHP 70.3, around 5000lm, with a few hundred yards of throw."
#6
Streamlight
4.4
(17)
"Have carried one every day for 5 years and beat the heck out of it."
"Agreed that these things are the tits!"
"Streamlight microstream has been my go to and favorite for years."

"Probably the streamlights."
"Streamlight microstream or stylus pro."
"Streamlight is my go-to."
"For administrative duties like note taking and such."

Skilhunt
4.6
(16)
"Skilhunt M150."
"Bugout light should be dual fuel or it's missing the point."
"Skilhunt H150, or H200 right angle / convertible headlamp."
"The Skilhunt H300R (R = reflector) with the XHP50.3 is a quality throwy right angle."
"My favourite tiny light of late is Skilhunt's E3A."
"I'd choose the Nichia 519A 4500K option for pleasant neutral output."
"Skillhunt H150 4500K."
"Skilhunt M150. Lightweight, durable, great output for indoors."
"Definitely +1 on the Skilhunt H150. Fantastic little light."

(11)
"Emisar D3AA is the best 14500/AA light right now."

"Emisar D3AA
You can program Anduril 2 to have it come in on a predetermined mode and you have instant access to moonlight mode."
"Emisar D3AA, Wurkkos TS10."
"Recently though, I finally have started with the Emisar D3AA."
"I recommend the Emisar D3AA."
"Emisar D4K is a really great light and very compact for having a 21700."
"You should get him a triple channel emisar D4K with RGB emitters."
"You should get a triple channel D4K with a normal white channel 1, and two different colors for channels 2 and 3."
"From Emisar I’d be looking at a D3AA for its dual-fuel capability."

Fenix
4.5
(11)
"I would suggest the flashlight with the simplest and visual user interface = with rotary brightness control."
"I have 2 different pd35's, oldest is from 2016 and is my most used. Love them, I think I have 5 different Fenix lights and they're all going strong."

"Fenix PD36R."
"Fenix lights are hella durable. PD35 and PD36 models go through hell here."
"Fenix and Surefire make some good Stope Blasters."
"I always recommend to get a floodlight, not a long-throw, mega-bright super flashlight."
"Extremely simple. Rotary. No 'mode buttons', no multi-tapping, or any of the fancy BS."
"Something like this with a separate battery pack might be nice."
"I like stuff from fenix a lot."

Manker E05 II
Emisar D3AA"

#15
SC33
4.7
(3)
"Runtime, brightness, reach, price, quality 10/10 would buy again."
"I would highly recommend the SC33 as it has the best throw."
