Hello everyone!
Here is AKU review.
Today, I am going to compare with EDC flashlights.
For me, EDC light don't have to super bright, can be use for walk is enough.
Stable quality, long runtime, have moonlight mode in case of emergency. And in right size.
So I choose some of my EDC lights that I think are really suitable for every day carry.
Participant lights:
18650 lights: Spark-SL6S, ThruNite TN12, SKILHUNT Ideal-C2, Pioneer S32
CR123 lights: Jetbeam PC20, Surefire E1B, Xtar WK21, Nitecore EX11XP
AA lights: Nitecore D11V2.5, Eoslamp SMA12

18650 lights group:(Lift-to-right) Spark-SL6S, ThruNite TN12, Pioneer S32,SKILHUNT Ideal-C2,
Spark-SL6S-800CW: High mode is too hot to use if long time lighting.
ThruNite TN12: Temperature control circuit, sound fashion.
SKILHUNT Ideal-C2: 320Lumens, nice output for longtime us. Nice design, compact size and light weight, suitable for EDC
Pioneer S32: High mode is too hot to use if long time lighting. Good workmanship, multi mode

Jetbeam PC20: Good workmanship, nice output for longtime use
Xtar WK21: multi mode, too hot if use long time, super flood light, short runtime.
Surefire E1B: 120Lumens, totally thrower, no flood, too throw for walk.
Nitecore EX11XP: Work good both flood and throw. But R5 led, Alloy switch, Infinitely Variable digitally controlled brightness.
AA lights group(Lift-to-right) Nitecore D11V2.5, Eoslamp SMA12
Nitecore D11V2.5: Better to use 14500 Li battery. Weak R5 LED.
Eoslamp SMA12: Good runtime, output and heat dissipation, But price too high and accessories quality looks not good.

Final comments:
18650 lights group:
Spark-SL6S-800CW: High price, Nice workmanship, High mode is too hot to use if long time lighting. Not suitable for EDC.
ThruNite TN12: Moderate price, High mode use is hot but have temperature control circuit, it's ok to EDC.
SKILHUNT Ideal-C2: Low price, nice brightness, long runtime, compact size and light weight, suitable for EDC (suggest)
Pioneer S32: High mode is too hot to use if long time lighting. Better quality in the Chinese DIY brands.
CR123 lights group:
Jetbeam PC20: Moderate price, good workmanship, body is a little slim. Nice brightness and runtime, suitable for EDC (suggest)
Xtar WK21: Low price, moderate workmanship, compact size, magnet tail, DIY mode, suitable for EDC.
Surefire E1B: Costly price, moderate workmanship, compact size, totally thrower, no flood, ok to EDC.
Nitecore EX11XP: Moderate price, weak R5 led, no clip, alloy switch (feels very bad). Innovate "Infinitely Variable" digitally controlled brightness. Suitable for EDC
AA lights group
Nitecore D11V2.5: 1.5V AA battery is ungeliable. Better to use 3.7V 14500 Li battery. Alloy switch (feels very bad). Nice brightness and runtime, suitable for EDC.
Eoslamp SMA12: Too high price( A DIY brand price even higher than famous brand.), workmanship in detail is not good enough. Suitable for EDC.
