More changes:

Replaced Sofirn IF22A with Wurkkos TD01C. The regulated buck driver is much more efficient and doesn't dim as the battery drains in medium modes. It also has more throw.

Added Zebralight SC700d HI.

Re-added Reylight Pineapple Mini.

Added Skilhunt EC200S Mini.

Out of curiosity, are Olight flashlights just not good/popular, or is there another reason why they aren’t on this list? I own several, and they seem solid and reliable.

@Showroom7561 @flashlight There have been Olight models on this list before. There aren't any currently due to the company's heavy use of proprietary batteries. Their LED selections in many models also leave something to be desired.

I’m not a flashlight hobbyist, but I think I’d like a better light. I’ve only ever bought $20 2x or 3x AA lights from the hardware store.

The Big Table™ means very little to me. Can I get an opinion on the Sofirn SP36 (BLF) 🔦 $67 as a general purpose light to take camping?

I’m expecting that any light that hobbyists like would be brighter and longer reaching than the cheap ones I’ve bought, but I’m a bit worried about a flashlight having a “user interface”.

@clay_pidgin @flashlight

The SP36 is a fairly large light, larger than I think most people really need for general use and camping. The FC11C is adequate, simpler to operate, and a more convenient size. Pick up a couple spare batteries if you're concerned about runtime.
