    I've got a video comparing laser and LED flashlights that explains the differences and discusses somewhat the use cases: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fphto9F-j9mXiaQ.html They're pretty niche, I think it's one of those things where you will know if that's what you need.

    Dammit, I thought the FW3 was going to be awesome until you went over the UI. The FW3 would be amazing if it had either a mode memory so I could leave it in hybrid turbo mode, or just start out in hybrid turbo. I just want a hybrid light that is all go no stop, I don't need 5 million modes and options. That form factor with a single full power mode would be frickin magical, I don't care if it monches batteries. Low mode on a flashlight is worthless, if I want less power I have a smaller light.

    Osram W1 definitely has a ton of throw, it would be cool to directly compare a W1 light and an LEP with the same size optics to see how closely they compete

    @@ethan-lumencraft- yeah that would be a good comparison. The cool thing about the osram w1 is there is also a little bit of flood outside of the hotspot, compared to the lep which is literally just the hotpot. So by itself it's sorta like a "hybrid flashlight" with much weaker flood (still useable at night for walking). For a practical lep light, it needs to be hybrid imo because you can't walk at night with just the hotspot. So in my situation I would be only comparing hybrid leps to the w1. I think that a dedicated lep with the same sized head would throw farther than the w1 though. But compared to the same sized hybrid light.. I think the w1 will throw farther. An actual test would be nice though.

    "LASER"?? I can only conclude that your definition of "Laser" is different from mine. I can't see any utility in carrying one around in my hand, and I can't understand why any flashlight manufacturer would incorporate one into a flashlight.

    There is so subjectivity in the definition, it is an actual ~450nm blue laser diode aimed at a phosphorus layer that creates the white beam. If you want more of a look at why these might be useful, you can watch our video on the subject: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fphto9F-j9mXiaQ.html

    Great ideea but still big flashlights. My choise is 2 flashlights: Olight Baton3 Pro Max with warm white, a superb big poin flooder and a Lumintop GTA. I love throwers but for me they are absolutely useless. I even own an Acebeam K75, its just a dust covered toy. The only good thing about it are the 2 great sets of 4x18650 i bought with it!
