looking at the fenix E18R as this seems to fit the bill unless anyone can recommend anything better that's around the same size ?
Sofirn SC21 Mini
same size, weight, battery size, tailmagnet, as the Fenix,
SC21 Mini has a better color rendering LED, plus built in charging, plus button locator light,
on sale for about $20.
this Not a complicated Anduril light,
Im Not talking about the SC21 Pro, nor the Wurkkos TS10… (those are aficionado lights, for people that read manuals and enjoy multi clic programming, not the OP on a jobsite)
The SC21 Mini is just a simple 5 mode clicky.. with excellent output regulation.
Choice of body colors, and also choice of LED Color Temperatures..
here is a review
A new light like the Sofirn SC21 flashlight is a bit unusual. It's a 16340 light! Add an indicating e-switch, a magnet, and more... Read on!
