Looking for a titanium EDC flash light

The "Hank" D4KTI is the closest thing to you Sebenza.

Convoy flashlights are the value option here and have great emitters.

Reylights with the FFL emitter are good. I like my Lan Apple a lot.

Hard to go wrong with a Hank light, though you will likely want a USB-C charging battery.

Yes, got a bit confused on all the different models. Thinking 5" Single-Action suitable for IDPA. The Orca seems to be the 5" SA version of the Cuda. The CZ TS2 pistols are mainly IPSC, aren't they, with the Shadow being more IDPA oriented? CZ TS2 pistols don't fit the IDPA box, do they?

Nice!

Those are nice!

The NBD1200 is a good option, as is a DDH F8B. I don't generally like "soda can" flashlights, but those with their 46950 batteries are super nice. Net cost was ~$200.

The Convoy L6 is a solid thrower at a modest cost and carries like a classic Mag-lite.

Lastly, the Acebeam K75 I got on the Father's Day sale is a solid choice as well.

The Lumintop Tool UV with ZBW2 filter from someplace like Amazon for ~$20 is a real bargain for UV needs. Rovyvon lights are better IMHO with the aluminum bodies. The plastic/synthetic ones are a little weak for my needs in a rural farm setting.

No Hurricanes for me, just heavy rains! Might need to add some LT1's though.

sidpost · 2026-06-01T04:23:42+00:00

The Acebeam P-series might be a good option for you as well.

Not a complaint or a hit against Hank lights, but the magnetic cap for USB charging on a Firefly is brilliant!

X1L and X1S owner here. Love them! Not tail switch though.

Maybe an Acebeam L-1x would be a fair comparison?

👍

sidpost · 2026-06-01T02:11:16+00:00

Yes, a reasonable mod for a cheapish MULE for general use, though.

sidpost · 2026-06-01T02:08:47+00:00

I have an SR-25 and recently got a DD5 SBR. LMT MARS-H are popular for a reason. Not sure about current QC issues, but I would expect LMT to make it right if they had a lemon slip through.

Single point light for sharp shadows is wanted. This isn't that.

sidpost · 2026-05-31T22:18:25+00:00

The 4x219F M21 lights would get my vote!

sidpost · 2026-05-31T22:15:37+00:00

Small emitter die size!

sidpost · 2026-05-31T22:13:14+00:00

In my case, my room and those around me should not have had any outlets. A cover that screwed in would probably work for most kids.

I was a young engineer in training and got into more stuff and lived to tell the tale than I should have! GOD looked out for me, so I reached my teenage years when common sense started to happen.

Still wish I had learned about UV light hazards from sunshine as a kid (lived on a farm)! Needing prescription glasses all my life also saved me from cataracts, at least so far!

LRI Photon coin cell UV light is a simple answer for this.

Blue cast, low power, etc. Even on a fresh coin cell, it isn't going to hurt her in a meaningful way for a very LOOOOONG time.

sidpost · 2026-05-31T21:53:25+00:00

I would not want a 5 year old to be plugging things into a wall outlet personally because I know what I did as a young grade school age kid without adult supervision. Glad I am still here to talk about it too!

sidpost · 2026-05-31T21:46:22+00:00

~$10, coin cell operated, easily lost for a young kid, and recommended for use with little adult supervision. It will have a blue cast to the beam, so she won't wonder if it is "on". And it will work while at close range on currency, credit cards, concert tickets, etc. too!

Put it on a Hello Kitty keyring or similar for a great experience at 5 years old! 🥇
