My Collection of Mini Soda Can Flood Lights (I’m reposting this pic here because it got cropped in the “Photos” section.)

Emisar D18 - 18 x SST-20 5000k 14,000 lms Fireflies ROT66 Gen II - 12 x Osram 6500k 10,000 lms Manker MK36 - 6 x Cree XHP50.2 3v 6500k 12,000 lms Nitecore Concept 2 - 4 × CREE XHP35 HD 6500 lms Nitecore TM06S - 4 x CREE XM-L2 U3 4000 lms The most recent addition is the TM06S. I’m amazed at how compact this device is considering it’s a 4 cell light. A surprising delight is the Manker MK36. The roundiness of the body makes it super comfortable to hold. And the 12,000 lumens from such a small package just makes me giggle every time. Turbo modes aside, what makes these lights so useful are the respectable runtimes on High/Med. This can really be handy at a campsite or during a power outage. Emisar - 4000 / 50 mins, 2000 / 1.9 hrs (per TK’s review) Fireflies - 5000 / 2.2 hrs (per 1lumen.com) Manker MK36 - 2800 / 1.3hrs, 1100 / 2.8hrs Nitecore Concept 2 - 2500 / 1.5 hrs, 1000 / 6.5 hrs Nitecore TM06S - 4000 / 1 hrs, 1500 / 4 hrs And on Low all of these will last well over a week of nightly bedside use before needing to be recharged.

glennacI'll ask you, but anyone who wants to chime in can do so: what's a good choice for the following in a pocketable flashlight: a) bright like a flashbang b) switch toggles it on and off, doesn't cycle it through settings c) if there are any additional settings, one selects them via a second switch or dial, but not by pressing the main button repeatedly d) built to last ? I'm an old school Mag Lite guy so that's where I'm coming from.

reswrightThose are a tough set of criteria. 🤔 Every recognizable flashlight brand these days uses a software based UI. And because most enthusiasts want options, UI’s will likely be involved if not complicated. Are you involved with Reddit? They have a form you can fill out with your criteria and post with many more eyes seeing it than here. https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/submit?
