Best single 18650 Flashlight

[Norm]

Along these lines, any passionate thoughts on the 18650 batteries themselves? That Panasonic battery looks like a top contender; are there any others that stand out in terms of build quality, performance, high mAh ratings, etc.?

Please ask your question here Forum: Flashlight Electronics - Batteries Included it is off topic here.

Thanks Norm

for me, the zebra H600!

Both have limited throw, but SC600 has almost no throw at all, it's one of the floodiest flashlights on the market.

Thanks, and asnwer to my question before I need to ask it. I have the Pocket Rocket but wondered if getting an SC600 would make more sense for when I go tramping. I assumed with so much output it would throw by pure muscle.

Strange though, the GoingGear review showed it doing OK out to 100 metres... or Yards IIRC.

The Sunwayman lights like the V20C and T20C look great but I can't believe they don't come with a pocket clip.

Klarus XT11 for flood with a little throw or Crelant 7g5 V2 which has the option to run a single or 2 18650's, for throw with a little flood.

I own the Zebralight SC600w since a few weeks only, but it is already my favorite 18650 flashlight! Its brightness modes from moonlight to turbo are suitable for all kinds of use, the user interface is nice, it is incredibly compact in size and I really like the neutral white tint of the LED. Additionally, I am glad that the Zebralight flashlights I own are NOT of black color, like all the others I have.

My two current favorites are the
Thrunite Scorpion v2
Klarus XT-11

And IT IS OK to 100m (and even a bit more), but with 750 Lm SC600 is a flooder, and a very good one

Although it's not going to have the highest output Id look into a Malkoff MD2 with one of his dropins

Thanks, hmmm well that's about all I need from a non thrower so now I'm tempted... but want an MX11 too

Although a bit over the $150 price limit my favorite 18650 light for the moment is my SWM V10R Ti with a Ku Ti 18650 tube, switch and clip. Am EDCing it as I write this (hanging off my left shirt pocket).

My choice is the ZebraLight SC60w. Considering buying the SC600w which will likely change my view. Can't decide whether to "move up" or not. Decisions, decisions...:huh:

I will ask if you what kind of flashlight are looking for?

Handlamp or Headlamp???

The 80% of my lights are headlamps, I preffer had me hands free to work it, if you think in a headlamp you cant miss the H600 I just received mine in W that is neutral instead of Warm and I love it, I have others Zebralights but this one is the best.

I have the SC600 and it is a great light, but if I had to choose a single 18650 light to be the last light I would ever own, it would be a Malkoff MD2 with an M61w and a high low ring.

[Bill S.]

In 2016, for me it's still the Zebralight sc62w.

Best at what though? Brightness? Throw? Flood? Features? UI? CRI? Fit and Finish? Durability? For the money? exc.

Its a very subjective question.

 

[Grizzman]

You know.....the best.

When a light is the best, you don't have to mess with silly identifiers. :naughty:

 

[Changchung]

My favorite is the DQG Tiny Ⅲ

For me, it's my EagleTac DX30LC2 Neutral. Although they call it neutral, it looks warm to me. The overall size, feel, beam-pattern and color, forward clicky tail button are all features that appeal to me. And before I bought it, I knew that it would ALWAYS default to high when the tail button is pressed. Only a small fraction of the time do I want to start off in low; so just holding the side button down while pressing the tail button gets it done; no biggie...
