Why remove acebeam e70 mini?
More changes:
Replaced Sofirn IF22A with Wurkkos TD01C. The regulated buck driver is much more efficient and doesn't dim as the battery drains in medium modes. It also has more throw.
Added Zebralight SC700d HI.
Re-added Reylight Pineapple Mini.
Added Skilhunt EC200S Mini.
Out of curiosity, are Olight flashlights just not good/popular, or is there another reason why they aren't on this list? I own several, and they seem solid and reliable.
@Showroom7561 @flashlight There have been Olight models on this list before. There aren't any currently due to the company's heavy use of proprietary batteries. Their LED selections in many models also leave something to be desired.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks for the info. That's pretty disappointing to hear.
The only issue I had with one of my Olights was a known firmware issue, and they replaced it without hesitation.
I'm not a fan of propriety chargers/batteries, so I do agree that it's a good reason to leave them off the list.
They're very overpriced for what they are. Also they've had some pretty stunning QC/design failures in the past involving lights exploding which have given them a bit of a reputation in some circles.
