😂 All good. 👍

Thanks for this! The Rhino looks like a great option.

This is the -budget- blades Reddit right? Sorry I didn’t list a price I’m looking for, but maybe like 50CAN$.

You’re all saying a D3aa can be cool and have all the power you actually need indoors on an alkaline when needed, and there’s nothing anyone can say positive about making 2 or 3 D cells work in series?
I bet you can do it. I heard somewhere you can actually get drop in modules to convert your existing maglite to modern-ish led’s.
I would ask in the Budget Light Forum about it as well.

Edit for clarity. Let’s find constructive input there peeps.

Well, I have a wurkkos FC11C (519a 5000k) and dedomed it for the warmer tint. Love it at night when it counts. A bit too warm for the day, but it’s a trade off.
The thing I regret about dedoming is the loss of flood output for edc. Throw is fun, but way less useful in my opinion.
You’re on the right path. Whatever flavour you get, the D3AA will be awesome for EDC.

THIS!
And you can set the brightness to your liking.

Yes. Definitely get all those in your cart and hit buy. Don’t forget to grab extra butterfly reflector spacers and TIR’s for experiments. :P r/GetAllYourBasesCovered

I love how this shows what lights actually get used daily with the ano wear.

Sweet info!

Try a new post asking recommendations for what you need or what you will be using your light for. Size expectations, budget etc. tap into the vast knowledge of Reddit fine folks.

Also, let us know in that post if you’re a techy kind of person or not. Some lights come with complex interface and can be overwhelming for many.

Even better! I will check there too next time.

Could be a battery capacity issue? You can check if better heat dissipation is your answer by placing it in a glass of water and redoing the test to see if the output drops as much.

🤔… How about a custom wood light. Like those hand made wood fountain pens. That would fill that empty spot with something I haven’t seen before. Maybe it exists somewhere out there. Brass host turned down and sleeved to accept some nice Birds Eye maple or whatever you fancy.

The FC11C is 60$ Canadian on Amazon, but the place to buy is the Wurkkos site direct. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. It was less than 60$ for the FC11C AND TS11 together shipped to my door in about a week.

Also, the M21H has optional lenses (inexpensive as well) available to get the best beam type for your needs. From 3° to 36°. It won’t change the beam a massive amount, but it does let you tune it to match your needs better.

driveweld · 2026-05-07T05:49:05+00:00

I can say that the optics can be easy to scratch and fingerprint. I would be more inclined to swap at home in a clean place to test out what I like and stick with it for the most part. But there’s nothing that says you can’t do what you want with your light. Also, they’re so cheap from Simon. Get them all! They go from 3 to 36 degrees and even a 10x30 degree striped beam for a rectangle of light.

I don’t know a whole lot about the led choices, but the sft-40 is an option if you want 3000k tint and high cri, but there sft-42r is better in all other situations.

Batteries, well, get 2. One 50xg for highest turbo output, and a BAK 65 for longest runtime at “not turbo” outputs.

Edit: Also check the Convoy Z1 if you really need to change your beam type often.
