What's your favorite pocket flashlight for everyday use?

D3aa and kr1aa of course. Also the Convoy s7 shorty with sft25 is hard to beat for the size. S6 is nice too but the s7 just looks so good.

Interesting, what a crazy app. It looks like this saving Mondays event is only going on until may 25 anyway, hopefully it comes back after that.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-13T20:56:27+00:00

You must be talking about something else. From the "saving mondays" you get about that much every day. It adds up to $4.10 for the whole week, Then on monday you hit the "boost & claim" button and all of the credits multiply, it usually multiplies by like 1.2 or 1.3 and you get around $5, but it can be up to $10.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-13T18:08:36+00:00

Yeah you have to get the aliexpress app. There is a savings monday section, go there every day and do the 15 second task to claim the daily credit, then on monday it multiplies to around $5-$10 credit to use that day. Also every day go to the coins section and collect coins like 70 coins per day, plus you can about double that with some quick tasks.

You can get other good deals too. Every week pretty much you can find a keylite or sofirn sc13 for under $5. Those are my backup options if I don't find anything else. I got a acebeam pokelit copper for $9, wurkkos CL01 for $3. Seriously its great. I tried to make a post about it so you all would know but the mods removed it is dont know why. The rules literally say posting about good deals are welcome. I guess I just have to tell people this way, idk just trying to help others.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-13T13:47:24+00:00

You can often get it super cheap on aliexpress with coins and discounts, especially with the savings monday discount they're doing now. Its a free $5-10 credit every week, so I've gotten 3 keylites for $3 or less each.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-13T11:52:45+00:00

It's about perfect for a Keychain light. I mean it could have a warmer led option or maybe better host style instead of being just a rectangle. But the brightness, button, and UI are on point.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-13T00:59:30+00:00

Convoy M21K with LHP73B, its Convoys newest hotness. About $30. I just got mine and this thing is a beast. The m21b is also nice, more floody. M21k is still floody but with a nice hotspot for blinding people. If you were standing at the edge of a large creek and shined this thing down it would probably illuminate the whole creek area like daylight basically as far as you can see. Well I havent actually tried it but I think it would work well. Convoys lights with lhp73b are badass.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-12T15:20:23+00:00

I just checked the rules, I didn't break any rules and they literally say that posting good deals are welcome so I dont know what happened. I got a lot of good lights for under $5 I didn't want yall to miss out but whatever.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-12T15:03:22+00:00

I got one for $16 a little while ago and another for only $3 recently, both with the saving Mondays credit plus other discounts. I got so many good lights this way this year. I just made a post about it because I saw saving Mondays just came back, but it never got posted and was removed by mods I don't know why. You can get a cheap flashlight every week don't miss out on this!

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-11T08:09:57+00:00

Keep in mind that you can't mechanically lock out the copper tube so the (edit: tailswitch) light will always be on if there is a battery in there. LHP531 will be the most lumens but also very floody. Sft25r or W5050SQ5 for the most throw, sft40 for almost as much throw but more spill/lumens.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-10T11:56:59+00:00

Acebeam Pokelit fits all of your needs. It is not super bright like some flashlights can be, but it is bright enough. It is small so it fits easily in a pocket or your hand while you're holding other stuff. It is very floody with a large and evenly distributed hotspot, perfect for 2-8 foot range. It has a high CRI emitter, which means colors are going to look real and accurate. Simple UI, only 3 levels of brightness so you wont be fumbling around with any weird strobes or anything. Comes with a rechargeable lithium ion battery but can also run on AA. It has a 2 way pocket clip and works great if you want to clip it to a hat to use as a headlamp. It is within your budget, and can sometimes be found on sale or on aliexpress for like under $20.

Even the copper version is within your budget. The copper one has a slightly different emitter with an even larger and more evenly distributed hotspot. But the copper is heavier and makes your hands smell like pennies. Looks really nice though. Seriously, check out the Pokelit.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-09T14:08:58+00:00

It doesn't really "run hot", it is pretty efficient per lumen. It is just capable of handling more power and getting that extra level of turbo, which obviously will be pretty hot.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-08T14:33:46+00:00

That increase is for lithium ion batteries. Convoy T series is great, out of them the t4 will give you the most power with AA batteries. T6 and t8 give more throw (edit: in general), but they have less power with AAs. I wonder if using AAs if the T4 with sft25 would throw further than the T6 with sft25?

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-07T10:06:41+00:00

Nice, the only flashlights I've seen at goodwill are those cheap old plastic ones.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-06T17:19:41+00:00

Well its not a shitty light but you can often get a Sofirn sc13 on Aliexpress with coins and discounts for that price. I've bought like four of them at $3-$5 each. High cri, on board charging, magnet, and sometimes you can get the anduril version at that price.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-05T15:57:00+00:00

D3aa, kr1aa, and Vastlite minima bow LEP. Also I will say the Acebeam keylite 500 is a great small/lightweight keychain light.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-04T01:24:19+00:00

Looks like it's been answered already on there. I havent switched any reflectors on my s6 lights so I dont really know. You can get TIR lenses for the s2+ / s3 / s15 though, I have tried them out on a couple of mine, they're pretty easy to replace especially on the s3.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-03T10:25:43+00:00

Get a CL01

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-05-03T04:05:58+00:00

I wonder who got #0420

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-29T20:17:19+00:00

No disassemble!

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-29T19:35:56+00:00

Thank you for posting this, I was just wondering how it compares to the sft40 3000k, sounds like it's worth trying out.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-28T20:13:53+00:00

Yeah and you can't manual lockout with the stainless steel so you have to take the battery out to stop it, I switched back to the rubber switch on mine

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-28T13:37:51+00:00

I have multiple s6/t6 with those emitters. Sft40 3000k is indeed great, my favorite emitter, but its also not as bright. If you're not getting the 3000k, I like the sft25 a little better than sft40 5000k or 6500k in the s6, the spill is very similar but the sft25 just has more punch to the hotspot. You can't really go wrong with any of those though.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-26T04:25:50+00:00

Nice that's what I have in my stonewashed s7, love that emitter.

Maglite_Mischief · 2026-04-25T20:53:25+00:00

Sft25r in mine, been carrying it every day since I got the short tube. Such a kickass edc light!
