Glad you liked it buddy! Thank you.

Nice comparison review Darren! I liked the Fenix PD35, Wurkkos FC12, Convoy M2 and Olight Warrior 3S the most of these lights. I'd pick the Warrior 3 as the top premium light, and the Wurkkos FC12 or the Convoy M2 as the best budget lights.

Cheers Gus, the one I carry around most is the Fenix. Recently I got the SC31T which is a good contender for the FC12, but it's way more floody.

great vid mate, that m2 was surprising!

Thanks mate, yeah it is a combo of the larger reflector and Osram W2. I love that LED - just doesn't produce as much light as I'd like.

Gosto muito das wurkkos fc12 e a minha preferida sp35t é uma ótima lanterna, me atende muito bem

Both of those are great options, and bargain for what you get!

I like my PD35 V3.0 Because decent 30,000 plus candela on Turbo and the high 600 lumen doesn't fade at all. High is way usable at 15,000 candela. I edc a pd25 Fenix v1 and v2.

Yeah, the interesting thing is that the PD35 3.0 has better sustained output on turbo (2.5 mins) vs the PD35R which is around 30 seconds if I remember correctly.

Очень долго ждал именно этого видео с данными фонариками!) Вообще, можно попробовать выбрать один универсальный фонарик (например fenix pd36r pro или fenix pd 35r) и в каждом видео с обзором нового фонаря сравнивать его по свету с данной эталонной моделью. Чтобы зрители сразу могли сравнить яркость и дальнобойность уже с известной моделью и сделать первые выводы) А еще, если есть возможность, то снимать и на фоне домов, заброшенного завода, склада, темных улиц и тд.

I like the Fenix PD35R / PD35 V3 for most purposes but the Nitecore MH12SE/Acebeam P16 are some of my top choices if I want some extra range. I had too many lights on me that day, so I skipped the P16.

Hi mate, I don't include those as they take a long time to do (on each mode) and I've found the manufacturers runtime tests to be generally accurate.

The only thing I complain about the fc12 is the moon mode yes I have gotten quite good at turning it on with one hand but it would be amazing if it was like olight in just a hold press and moon light turns on fc12 for being 55 dollars and being able to hold its own it’s just crazy

FC12 ticks all the boxes other than regulation: almost perfect UI IMO (for edc "tactical"/SD light), direct and guaranteed access to turbo, dual springs, great throw, direct access to moonlight, slim, cheap. You can even get a short tube and make it the one of the most compact throw-y 18350 light. I like Fenix a lot and they do have superb build quality but lack the UI and dual springs.

My everyday carry is the Weltool Little Duke 14500/aa battery. Th candela is insane on it and the throw also. It’s my favorite AA light off all Time and I’ve been into flashlights since 1999

@DarrenYeoYT

The little duke must have an Osram W1 in it to reach that distance. Convoy do some lights with that emitter but unfortunately my S2 with NM1 has focusing issue - beam is quite ugly. 1999! Amazing, I hope I never get tired of this hobby.

I'll do another comparison with my larger bezel tactical lights and include the P16.

You still have to try the Convoy M21B SFT40 8A. 700m+ and 2000lm and just slightly bigger than the M1.

Yeah that would be a great allrounder - best of both worlds. I'm hoping to see an improvement in the Osram W2 some time so that it's able to produce 2000 lumens at lower amps...

@@DarrenYeoYT thank you for answer sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

With these sized bezel heads, your options are going to be quite limited as far as emitters go when it comes to throw. Your choices are basically between the PM1, SFT-40/70 or XHP35H/50.3H/70.3H emitters. Any other emitters and you're going to have too floody of a beam to really get any usable throw out of it. Any of the SFT40 based lights there are going to be the best in terms of performance to runtime to cost ratio.

@DarrenYeoYT

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, there's definately a limit to the amount of throw with small bezels. Those W1/W2 emitters have such a small die surface but produce relatively large amounts of light. But I agree that the SFT40 is the best of both worlds. I'd like to see a round die version of it with extra efficiency!

Самий великий недолік у всіх цих ліхтариках - відсутність змінного фокусу. Бо, це було у ліхтариках ще з лампочками розжарювання настільки давно що мабуть вже давно було умовним стандартом. Зінний фокус дає можливість компенсувати яскравість елемента випромінювання (лампочки чи тепер вже світлодіода). Бо задача карманного літарика зазвичай стоїть у тому, аби висвітлити собі невеличкий простір. Для овсітлення навкруги, є ліхтарики які мають для цього або спеціальний розсіювач, або сама конструкція забезпечує виконання цього.

​@@CorruptionManXNot very long ago, a light with 200-300 lumens would be considered blinding, so pretty much any modern light that is reliable and has a body of a hard material could probably work for self-defense as long as you aren't stuck with an initial moonlight mode. Or well, at least as well as any light might work for that particular purpose.
