Looking for reliable "all around" flashlight in the ~$100 price range - Feddit UK

Pretty overwhelming to try and pick one from the hundreds and hundreds of options out there. What I’m looking for: - Reliablility - Not an EDC light per se, but I’d like it to fit in a pocket when needed - USB-C charging and removable battery - Good battery life - A tool, not a toy - The simpler the UI, the better - all I basically need is moonlight mode and around three brightness settings - Adjustable beam would be nice - Bonus: one-click turbo mode (for self-defense) So basically, something that’s not too bulky to carry around, but something I’d be glad to have with me if I were stranded in a dark forest and kept hearing scary noises around me. ChatGPT recommended the Fenix PD35 V3.0, though it doesn’t have an adjustable beam.

Three of my favorite things: UK #Taskmaster, Jason Mantzoukas and an Imalent MS32 #flashlight converged yesterday on screen. He won the prize task with five points selling it as a “walking to the bathroom at night” flashlight.

Watching the flashlights warm up with my new thermal camera (Zoyi ZT-R01)

Watching the flashlights warm up with my new thermal camera (Zoyi ZT-R01) - Lemmy.World

Got this inexpensive thermal camera (which is also a multimeter!) for a review recently. Although it is not a high-end device, the resolution of 32 × 32 pixels (with high resolution camera overlay) is absolutely sufficient for many applications – and a lot of fun as well! Finally I’m able to see how my flashlights warm up. Flashlights in the pictures are: Skilhunt EC200, EC500 and M200 V4 — If you are interested in the review of the Zoyi ZT-R01, you can find it here: English review at BudgetLightForum [https://budgetlightforum.com/t/228673] German review on my website [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/post/199] — [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/Zoyi_ZT-R01_flashlight_warmup.png] [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/20250412_Zoyi_ZT-R01_P1050960.jpg] [https://www.sammyshp.de/betablog/uploads/20250412_Zoyi_ZT-R01_P1050608.jpg]

Review: Acebeam L16 2.0 - an all-purpose duty flashlight with significant reach

<p>The Acebeam L16 2.0 is a duty-style (or tactical, if you must) flashlight with a long throw distance and enough spill for use in most conditions.</p>

Review: Acebeam EC20 - an everyday carry flashlight that tries to bridge the mainstream and hobbyist markets

<p>The Acebeam EC20 is an 18650-powered everyday carry light with three main LEDs, colored secondaries, and a magnetic tailcap. It strikes me as an attempt to bring the hobbyist features of brands like Emisar and Fireflies to a more mainstream audience using a simpler user interface and a protected battery with a USB-C port.</p>

It's a sad day, my trusty D4V2 has vanished - Sopuli

I’ve had it in my pocket for the past two years, and now I can’t find it anywhere… It must be at home somewhere, but will I find it

Review: Skilhunt H200 - an all-purpose right-angle headlamp with white and red

The Skilhunt H200 is a midsize right-angle flashlight and headlamp with two white LEDs and one red, powered by an 18650 size Li-ion rechargeable battery recharged internally with a USB-magnetic cable. The right-angle light is perhaps the most versatile category of flashlight since it can be used as a handheld flashlight, a headlamp, clipped to gear or clothing, or attached to surfaces with its magnetic tailcap. Someone who wants one flashlight for all use cases will be well served by a light like this, as long as none of those use cases involves illuminating things much past 100m.
