Spec me an LED Torch

So I've had a few of these over the years, this particular one for some time, as you can see! What sort of thing should I be looking for if I wanted something a bit brighter, robust but the same size? I really find the 14500 cell handy as I can keep a spare on me and swap it out when the first one runs out of power, or should I just replace the two 14500 cells and get another of the above? It's starting to get a little tired, keeps changing between modes by itself (a low/high feature is handy to have as well). Run time could be better though. Are Keeppower still a thing? Ta

Two new lights arrived, both 21700's. One a thrower the other a mule which has no reflector so just gives out a wall of light in front of you.
















 
Do you want a dedicated thrower or a mix between throw and flood?
Mix of both, I ordered an L35 2.0. Can always sell it i guess if i find something else.

Or just add it too my collection! (Got about 5 now)

I’ll have to dig them all out for a photo when im back at home. All started by this thread…thanks op, costing me probably 1k since I opened this post. Ive had multiple Fenix, Nitecore, Zebralight and others since. Some i’ve sold on, some as presents etc.

I wanted a practical light i can carry in my pocket. I looked at the mini, its a chunky boy!
These are two of my favourite lights I've got this year, the Surge and Stellar. Both pocketable, 21700 and pack a punch for their size.

The Surge more a thrower but with some spill and the Stellar more flood.

Anyone? Been looking at the OLight Baton 3, 4 and Turbo, they seem to be a similar size. Anything else I should look at/consider? Ta

If you like 14500, the Lumintop Tool AA is a favourite. Uses 14500, but can also run on AA if you need to, whereas most AAs cannot take a 14500.

Personally, I cannot advocate Olight's Perun Mini enough. I generally dislike Olight, but this is one of the two torches they make that IMO should be in every enthusiasts' pocket.
It's small enough to carry almost anywhere, but powerful enough to rival most bigger torches too.

As above really can’t go wrong with a Baton 4 Premium Kit with the case. Also you can get a Perun 2 mini to charge in the case as well. Also the case can be used as a small power bank 5000mah for emergencies.

I also have a few Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 and 3.0, they are cheap and cheerful and give out a lot of light too. Also get them with the li ion batteries and the battery can be directly charged via a USB C cable too.
 
Why do I want an Astrolux wp3 lep flashlight? Highly pointless. Its not like im search and rescue in my city centre living?!
