The Wuben L1 is the most versatile flashlight I’ve seen in its price range (~70€). It has two emitters that you can move around and swith if needed, a magnetic tailcap and a 21500 battery that doubles as a power bank. Usually even too bright at max settings. (1000lm) (2000lm) Gets the job done very very well, 9/10.
The Wuben e19 is a handy pencil-form factor light, powered by two AAA-batteries. Very useful indoors and outdoors at medium range (last picture) The e19 is my EDC, it’s sturdy and very bright for its size. 7.5/10.
The alonefire flashlights are the first flashlights I got when I didn’t have much knowledge what to look for,, the X23 is very bright but has a small battery. It cost 10€ so it’s worth the price as a backup light. 5/10.
The x170 is pretty dimm and is outperformed in every way by the e19, so I didn’t even bother to include it. It’s small tho, the throw can be adjusted and it’s around 4€. 2/10.
Biggest problems: The L1 has no lock out mode, and it burned a hole in my pocket once. It’s somewhat heavy, and has no moonlight mode.
The e19 is not rechargeable, and you have to buy your own Li-ion batteries which will cost you the same as the light itself (~16€)
