I bought an Astrolux EC03 a few years ago based on comments in this thread and have been really pleased with it. I've been thinking of buying another, mainly as a spare when I go camping but it's been a while now and I imagine torch tech has moved on a little bit. Is the EC03 still a good choice or is there a better buy? I wouldn't even mind something smaller similar to an EC01 with it being slightly more pocket friendly.

Also, I might chuck in a decent head torch if anyone has any suggestions please?
 
I like my Astrolux EA04 and it is very bright. Don't expect the maximum brightness to last for too long, due to heat though. But if you run it at a little under turbo, it's a decent enough torch for walking the dog - I even use mine on the bike sometimes, but only really down paths with little to no vehicles nearby, otherwise the beam can bright enough to be a distraction to drivers.

I'd be interested to see if anybody suggests something either just as powerful or more powerful than the EA04 for it's size.

Trying to buy a Marauder Mini 2 from the olight website but the checkout is greyed out. What am I doing wrong here. The website isn’t user friendly at all.

When I click the basket icon in the top right, I see a "Starts in..." countdown timer under the button that lets you change quantity. I think you need to wait for this timer to reach zero before you can buy any torches.

There is early access for loyal customers of the Olight store. I can already order since Friday, but a Marauder Mini 2 is over kill for my needs, I had a the original mini, but I have sold it due to the lack of use.
 
I use a Fenix HM75R for most things, mostly work as I do a lot of night shifts, but it's great for working on the car or motorbikes in the dark, walking the dog, fishing, all sorts of things requiring a light. Definitely one of my best purchases, and the extra battery doubles as a powerbank.

I've just this week purchased a SOFIRN HS41 Headlamp for a friend as a Christmas gift, but after checking it out I'm tempted to keep it for myself, it's so bright and clear compared to my Fenix and a fraction of the price too!

Oh right.. fair enough. My dad has a orange marauder mini, and it fantastic. It’s overkill sure but it’ll last a lifetime. The spot and flood lights are very powerful.

I bought a HS40 (I'm guessing the predecessor) at the beginning of the year & have been pretty impressed for the price. I got mine for DIY jobs round the house where I need to work in dark corners, or with power off etc, so didn't want anything too expensive incase I broke it doing stuff.
 
In a relatively small form factor with usb c charging, good light output for a few hours is the acebeam e75 still a good pick these days? I've had it on my list for a while based on it's historic reputation and build quality. Has anything come out in the last year which would be a good alternative. I'm leaning towards the natural white nichia 519a variation if I do go for it. I'm hoping for a cheeky black friday offer!
