Hi folks,
this is might be a silly question but for a noob in flashlights it would be nice to get a grounding in the current market. There seems to be a million brand names, but most seem to be Chinese brands that I assume are simply copies or clones of superior brands? Please correct me if I am wrong of course. I would like to know if there is a list anywhere of premium brands where I know that if I purchase a product from said brand, it will be of assured quality, if there is such a thing! So far I have purchased a Nitecore P12(?) which I am very happy with, and a couple of Convoy lights too. I am led to believe Nitecore is an average brand, with Convoy being on the lower end whilst giving good value for the money. Any information or opinions on which brands are the best quality, best value for money, and the best reputation. I realise this is possibly a subjective issue but there must be a general consensus as to which lights are the market leaders and which are just plain, poor quality rip offs. Sorry if this seems a naive request.
best regards.
Andrew.
