Got any good quality chinkpriced AA cell flashlights you can recommend?

this is amazing for its size but it's 30 bucks

this is what I had before I went the li-ion route

but I'll look for something cheaper

not to be a party pooper but I think this Manker is the brighest tiny AA flashlight

others are seriously lower

@kontroll https://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_555777.html

somehow

this is the same fucking light

Idc about size. I just want a ~50€ flashlight to put out as much light as possible to shoe my dad who is boss

I don't know what the difference between Utorch and Manker really is

it seems like they're sister companies

but this is 24 dollars so that might be better (go for neutral white please, I posted the wrong config in the link)

@Deleted User BLF Q8 or Emisar D4

brightest shit you can find in that price range atm

Emisar D4 doubles as a hand warmer / space heater

Heh

Comfy

@kontroll go for the utorch, apparently they're literally the same shit, except Utorch is cheaper (I don't understand this, but that's what budgetlightforum says)

heck, one utorch light is even more powerful than the manker version

damn the ui on these things is pretty sophisticated lul

@emre saw the BLF A6 UI? fucking maze

I still didn't learn all of it

less than a year

I think

since april, nvm

wait

WHAT?

@Cole Nieuwste Astrolux MF01 18x XP-G3/Nichia 219C 12000LM Super Bright LED Zaklamp 18650 IPX-7 Waterdicht 7 Modi Fakkels Lanterna

(from AliExpress Android) this says 12000lm. Does it really shine twice as bright or am I getting bamboozled here ?

>I collected 12 li-ion flashlights since March 25th 2017

what the FUCK is wrong with me

botnet curtains

autism

@Cole Thanks man. And yes, neutral white #1. Can't stand those cold white sons of beaches, certainly, and the warm ones are a bit... naff.

@Deleted User I don't know much about the MF01 yet, but it seems legit https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/719mz9/nld_astrolux_mf01219c_blf_q8/

Also, the site says I can save even more money by using the app. Nice.

use code **e04bc8** to get the MF01 for $85.95

a few cents cheaper than Ali <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

I saw BudgetLightForum has a whole thread of flashlight coupons
