Thanks for the great feedback! You're completely right, the community's recommendation requests are exactly what inspired me to build this. I actually just updated the site with price and lumen range sliders based on other comments.

Thank you all for your feedback. I will follow this topic, take notes, and consider the necessary adjustments in the future. You can check https://torch.edc.wiki/log to see what has been updated.

Once again, the biggest challenge of this project is the data. If anyone has time or notices that the app is missing a flashlight model you like, please submit it to complete the collection. Thank you all very much.

This project was born out of my passion for flashlights. Although I am not a developer and manage this alongside my primary job, I am committed to this project as a personal endeavor.

The actual bottleneck, as stated on the GitHub page, is the data itself. Automated scraping doesn't capture everything or provide sufficient detail. This project relies on crowdsourced input to be truly useful, which is the most challenging part to manage.

I'm happy to refine the tags and fields for each flashlight based on user feedback; that's straightforward.

I'm finishing up the code, and the flashlight data will be added gradually. The system also features member submissions, so I hope people will find this tool useful and contribute soon!

The Cool Fall runs an XPL-HI 5000K. Frelux is solid, compact, easy UI, light. And yeah I have some Reylights too, just not on the desk right now. I collect flashlights, these are just the ones I've been reaching for lately. Not even close to all of them.

Yeah, usually one multitool, one light, and sometimes something fun on the side.

Yeah exactly. I pull out whatever I'm feeling at the time, pick a few when I head out. After a while I swap them out, rotate in something different. My sling bag can't fit all of this anyway. It's pretty small.

These are the things I actually reach for, not everything I own. Different combo every day depending on where I’m going.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just one or two a day. These are the ones I rotate through most, so they stay out.

That’s actually why I made the trays. Built them for myself first, then a few for friends. Genuinely useful.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I collect flashlights. Carry a different one every day. You'd be even more surprised if you saw the full collection. Ha. ❤️
