This is simply the best fastest and`fact filled flashlight report. No chit chat just facts, and great night shots. Really delivers. I own C8G Great light. Your comments on it are 100%!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on an 18650 EDC light comparison and have a bunch more similar videos in the pipeline. Thanks so much for watching carol!
I’m just starting to learn a little about osram leds but still very clueless to all the other leds smh btw love ur content bro, thanx and keep the good vids coming
@@Dayzthoseweres the CSLNM1 and CSLPM1 are both Osram LEDs that produce very throwy beams. Thats because the actual led die surface is tiny. The SFT40 is a great option for throw too. And makes more light than the other two. The SBT90.2 is super bright and throwy but needs a large host. Thanks for your support bro!
@@DarrenYeoYT damn thanx bro! Screen shooting this so i can refer back to it when i need to. Most recent flashlight I bought was the sofirn if22a and definitely like the thrower aspect a lot versus some of my previous lights. Been on the fence for yrs, & although a lot of his lights r more floody, I’ve been itching to get a hank light. So again thank you for the info for im positive I will b utilizing it n the future!
@@Dayzthoseweres all good buddy .. you can also check out the Noctigon K1 if you're into Hank lights. Candela readings are on the website but the NM1 in green does 750k candela. I think the PM1 is the overall best though. Produces more lumens and throws just as well too. I just got two convoys with PM1s, the M2 and M21B.
For home security and outdoor use, the Wurkkos TS30S looks good to me. Nice mix of throw and flood, plus power bank. I used the Olight Warrior X Pro on duty with LAPD. Served me well, much better than our issued lights.
Yeah a power bank feature is really nice to have, especially a nice big 21700 battery would probably give a smart phone close to a full charge if needed. Glad to hear it served you well on duty with LAPD! I'm an LA County resident. What would you say is the go to light for most police officers?
Have you considered the Nitecore P20i; it's an excellent light, with a random tactical strobe and ceramic glass breaking tips embedded in the stainless steel head; it's my present EDC. Hearing all these great stories about the Warrior X pro makes me wonder if mine was defective from the start; it has a dark yellow hot spot that looks similar to a solar eclipse when you shine it at the wall; even worse as the distances grow. It's been a shelf queen for the last few months.
@@oldbones9205I actually included the P20iX in a 21700 comparison about a month ago! Somebody one it for the giveaway but I did really like that light is was sweet - th-cam.com/video/iSuyfWfxFUE/w-d-xo.html Yeah sounds like a defective olight... ive seen a ring around much cheaper lights but shouldn't see that on a quality light...
@@UrbanSurvivor In my department, most just carry the issue light (Pelican 7575) unless they work nights. Then most buy some kind of Streamlight mainly because the PD store has that by the tin.
@@oldbones9205 I’ve never used that light but the way you describe the spot, that wouldn’t help me on duty…. But, may not be a bad thing for home or car kit.
THANK YOU, for adding the prices to each light. This , in my opinion makes all the difference in the world and turns your vid into a VERY well done , informative over view of these lights. It also shows you are responsive to your viewers a truly want to inform them. I have 2 of the sofirn IF22A. This is a true pocket thrower at a great price. I am not a fan of external charging butthole ports as they allow water and dirt to shorten the lifespan of your light if it is subject to hard use outdoors and sofirn has gone all in on the butthole port on all their models now , but for the price and otherwise performance and true pocket carry size the IF22A is really hard to beat. My next purchase will be the Acebeam L18 just for the very fact it has NO external butthole and a tailswitch on/off. It's seams like a great light also.
Being in my mid forties, I have now become a flashlight collector. It started when I bought a Surefire Scout light for my M4 Carbine. Then a Surefire Defender Ultra, and a Streamlight Protac HL-5X. So many great lights out there now. However, I can no longer justify the price of Surefire's.
Yeah a lot of brands are stepping up with some pretty impressive performance for reasonable prices. You can go wrong with Sofirn/ ThruNite/ Nitecore and it you really want something nice AceBeam and ArmyTek both have exceptional quality lights.
I purchased the Wurkkos TS30S and I love it. Long distance range for a pocketable flashlight. But the best was the price. I bought it from the Wurkkos store.
Yup, i have 1 that if22a very cheap and small for EDC, also give enough throw.. since our eyes can't see object clearly n distance more than 400 meters.. its enough for me and cool enough 😂
Problem with the if22a it heats up very quickly.1min in turbo and drops sharply to only 20% output. On the other hand the C8G only decreases about 20% from turbo after 2min and keeps that intensity for a long period of time.
@@_Frimer_ Mine will hold high mode for about 2 hours. If you hold it out the car window it'll turbo for about 30 minutes. Even on medium it still has very usable distance illumination for 200ish lumens and 7-8 hours of runtime.
You make it difficult to pick a favorite! Well shoot, if I have to choose I reckon that Manker U22 would be the one. I like Olight but not in white and I really wish they would quit with the proprietary charging. Appreciate the great content you're putting out!
Your comparisons becomes more and more difficult, but I have to agree with you that the olight warrior X pro is one of the most versatile flashlight of the lot and the one that does good all the jobs. So that's my choice, 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 fingers crossed for the giveaway and thanks for your videos!
I’m still using a Fenix TK12 purchased in 2008, it’s provided faultless performance over the years but tech has moved on so much it’s time to update and enjoy some real beam throwing performance - great review 👍
Yeah the first real flashlight I bought was the Fenix PD35 around 2013 and still works well til this day with the original battery! They are top of the line! But yeah things have come a long way since then! What are you thinking for as an upgrade?
After some research, the Ts30s seems like the best choice. A light with some spill is what I would like which brought down the choices between ts30 and the olight. Proprietary charger and just two light modes is what me decide olight isn’t a right fit.
The Noctigon K1 is my favourite! Please note, Noctigon K1 does have a built in type c port for charging. You have to unscrew the tube from the head to find it.
Yeah my apologies for presenting the wrong information on that one and thank you for correcting me! Have a great weekend and thank you for watching Yitzi!
I've got the Wukkos TS30S and it's a beast another GREAT contender here is the Thrunite Catapult very similar to the wukkos in light output. Both are wonderful for nighttime dog walking runtime is sufficient and neither will burn your hand (if you chose the T30S make sure you DO NOT buy the TS30 it has 3 emitters a much smaller heat sink and will burn your hands in less than 45secs also it's not a thrower)
Yeah for this video I was sticking with all 21700 throwers but I did include the Catapult in a 26650 comparison a few months ago! Here's a link to that video in case you are interested- th-cam.com/video/l-XlMynW0ms/w-d-xo.html And thanks for the heads about about the TS30! I'll definitely stay away lol
Great review of similar lights! The Wurkkos ts30 looks like a must buy. The Sofirn if22a that i must recently purchased is no joke either. Keep up the good work.....
Great video. I like all of these lights but I think the Wurkkos TS30S offers the best all around performance and features. It has good range with a larger hot spot and good spill. I also like the built in charging.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Wurkkos is a quality brand! I really like their FC11 18650 edc light as well. One of the best budget options out there in IMO.
Love my Sofirn IF22A. Convenient size, serious throw, affordable price. Along with my Sofirn SP35, it makes a two-light set that can handle any situation I need.
Nicely done. I have the Wurrkos TS30S. It's a great all round torch with an almost combination beam. I'm seriously impressed. I also have the Manker U22 III. Another nice long range torch that actually had some surprisingly useful spill at close range. I found that despite it having springs at both battery terminals it still loses connection if shaken. The USB cover is quite poor also and frequently pops out. Good performance though! I like the breathing location light on the switch but it seems to have fairly high parasitic drain. Also has some nice low modes. A novelty light for me that I enjoy.
I just bought an Imalent ms50. I also have a Sofirn 36pro. I would like to see a comparison of these throwers. First one was 159 on sale. Second was only 49 on sale. Big lumen difference though. 20k vs 8k.
Another great comparison video. I have the olight warrior x pro tan to black version. I like the throw and tint color. 500 meters of throw is plenty for me.
Been EDCing a SC31 pro for a year. Got the IF22A a few months ago and have been carrying the IF22 most of the time since. I have a C8G sst40 and I really like it because it is 1500 lm instant on with the tailcap switch but it's too big for front pocket carry. It's so easy to turn on without having to fumble for the button, I keep it in-between the seat and console to spotlight house addresses quickly. Personally I think the C8G throws farther side by side but it could have been my eyes. For the price you can't beat the IF22/A, SC31 pro, or SP35. Those 3 being a 21700 thrower, 18650 EDC, and 21700 EDC. Just got a Lumintop gt Nano 10440 as a new keychain light, it is very impressive. Highest on ramp mode the GT Nano is about same as IF22A on high. But when on about 20% still is very usable and holds that brightness for about an hour depending how many times you re-engage turbo playing around with it.
I'd say the noctigon kr1 w2 beats all these lights easily. More pocketable than the smaller D2 and throwier than the sofirn if22a. Great spill to be used for closer quarters too. I am surprised it isn't in the list. Also the Convoy L21a with the w2.2 can put a good fight against the k1 and win cause it's just 40 bucks, 60% cheaper
I have the sofirn c8f, the body is pretty much identical to the c8g but it's a flood instead of a thrower, i think i might have to add to my collection
I have the Sofirn C8G and the Wurkkos TS30S, great lights! The C8G is very resistent, simple to use (thats why I like it better) and has enough power for practically anything, great for work use... The TS30S is more complicated to use, cause of andruril and I have it just for power appetite and fun, but boy, that SBT90.2 led can drain a battery faster then two Sofirns C8G together... :)
Great comparison video. I have the WURKKOS TS30S, its a great thrower but I just ordered a Sofirn IF22A for a more compact thrower better for EDC. I also have a Olight Warrior X Pro but consider a thrower but more of a jack of all trades master of none.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I think you will really like the IF22A its a great edc/ entry level thrower option. Your thoughts on the Warrior X pro are spot on. Make sure you subscribe I just gave that light away in a GAW!
Interesting interpretation - I was hoping the Olight would benefit from versatility, but as you say, it's an all rounder but not necessarily in a good way... I've been wanting one for ages (There are a few of the Mk1 600m versions on eBay) but am now thinking that a dedicated thrower/powerbank might be more useful. I have a Seeker 2 Pro, Perun 2 and S2RII..
@@UrbanSurvivor definitely agreed the price is great for what the light is. Have you thought about comparing some big flood lights/search lights, later on like an olight marauder 2 ? And the rovy von s2 premium ?
The Noctigon is my favorite. The olight was surprising, as you commented that it was warmer in tint. All my experience with olight has proven that the tint is cold an terrible.
Yeah definitely the best style of the bunch! Glad you enjoyed the lantern videos! I saw a lantern comparison REI made about a year ago and thought it was trash so tried to put my own spin on it. Will definitely make another comparison next year of lanterns.
Most of these lights I have never heard of or the companies, cynanksy and olight are the only ones I know. Exactly what's the difference between throw and well your normal light coverage? Sofrin(if22a) im amazed at the throw and lumens although the Manker has a better throw I would prefer the sofrin or olight. What is required to be in the giveaway?
Everything is a wonderful choice. Why is that? For ads and clicks? Good grief, disagree with someone or say what is better. Wait, you will not then get ad money form all vendors? LOL. @@UrbanSurvivor
Still waiting for 21700 floodlight , i have the manker it throw like a beast love it it step down a little too fast when get hot it look kinda like acebeam L18 😂😂 i hope you try some LEP in the future
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Let me know if you have any other ideas for comparison videos! Yeah Wurkkos is a fantastic brand. They make an 18650 light called the FC11 that's one of the best budget EDC lights in my opinion.
@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks for the suggestions. Been a flashlight lover since I was a kid. Thought I was weird cause of a weird hobby. A budget option lantern comparison video would be nice. Thanks.
Awesome, really glad you enjoy this style of video! I've done a bunch more like it for all kinds of lights - th-cam.com/play/PLMANL5AZPbqdo_-tmFx7UhKTkYJt4lr-q.html Great choice on the Warrior X Pro!
That's a great choice! Must be cool to live in a place with a view! I have to drive about half an hour and hike another 15min to get to a place big and open enough to test these lights lol.
Been watching for a while now. I absolutely love the looks of that Olight Warrior X Pro. Such a great functioning light that could be EDC easily. Great video!
Haha that would be a sick combo! Warrior 3 just arrived in my mailbox the other day so planning to get a review out in the next few weeks. Thank you for watching and Im glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes, it is a great light! I actually compared it to a handful of 18350/16340 lights in a video with a similar format - th-cam.com/video/IXp43t4mQF0/w-d-xo.html
I always enjoy your many flashlight 🔦 comparisons in their variations based on battery…. However… i wish in this one u could have had Nitecore p30i in it as it uses a 21700 5000 mah battery. Would have been awesome to see the comparison
Hey Adam, The Wurkkos is great but I am with you on the IF22A being one of the best all around in terms of pocketability, performance and price. Very tough to beat it! Thanks for watching!

Thats a great question, and I'm not sure how they compare lol. Seem to be similar lights on paper but I would expect the T27 to have a wider hotspot and less intensity. There is a charging port on the K1when you unscrew the tube from the head, I presented the wrong info on that...
👋 Hi Urban Survivor. I like the look of the O light warrior pro. - I would be so blessed to win. - I walk the county trail by my house each night and it’s very dark when I walk. I have had a couple surprises that scared me Recently One was a raccoon, a skunk and one recently was a homeless drink person. I would fell so much safer with a good light. I cannot work so this would be a blessing. Thanks for entering me. And thank you for your videos. Because of you I carry pepper spray now - bless 💜🙏
Hey Laura! Yikes, sounds like a sketchy place to walk at night! Good to hear you have some pepper spray that's a great idea! I'd be happy to recommend a few budget flashlight or headlamp options at some point if needed! Having some light would enhance your safety! Thanks so much for watching, and good luck on the giveaway!
I think the Wurkkos TS30S is the best; well, for my needs anyway. I have an Olight Warrior X Pro and M2R Pro; neither are worth the money IMHO. I almost purchased the Warrior X Turbo; however, seeing my new IF22a make the Warrior Pro look sad in comparison, I'm pretty much done with Olights.
Of these the sofirn if22a or the noctigon k1 would be be good choices. Otherwise an LEP light might be a good choice. I am going to be comparing a handful of them in a few weeks.
Thank you for not rambling on for 20 minutes on each flashlight like every other reviewer seems to do. Thank you for just getting to the point

Hi,which is the best model of sofirm flashlight on the brightness?
Been EDCing a SC31 pro for a year. Got the IF22A a few months ago and have been carrying the IF22 most of the time since. I have a C8G sst40 and I really like it because it is 1500 lm instant on with the tailcap switch but it's too big for front pocket carry. It's so easy to turn on without having to fumble for the button, I keep it in-between the seat and console to spotlight house addresses quickly. Personally I think the C8G throws farther side by side but it could have been my eyes. For the price you can't beat the IF22/A, SC31 pro, or SP35. Those 3 being a 21700 thrower, 18650 EDC, and 21700 EDC. Just got a Lumintop gt Nano 10440 as a new keychain light, it is very impressive. Highest on ramp mode the GT Nano is about same as IF22A on high. But when on about 20% still is very usable and holds that brightness for about an hour depending how many times you re-engage turbo playing around with it.
I'd say the noctigon kr1 w2 beats all these lights easily. More pocketable than the smaller D2 and throwier than the sofirn if22a. Great spill to be used for closer quarters too. I am surprised it isn't in the list. Also the Convoy L21a with the w2.2 can put a good fight against the k1 and win cause it's just 40 bucks, 60% cheaper
I have the KR1 w1 and w2. Absolutely agree. The size and output (throw) is absolutely ridiculous haha
Great vid! The Cyansky looks like a good thrower, and I don't have any Cyanskys/-ies... yet. :D
Can any of these torches take a 18800 rechargeable battery or 2+ batteries, also marked 26650 3,7 volt? They are thicker than usual.
I have the sofirn c8f, the body is pretty much identical to the c8g but it's a flood instead of a thrower, i think i might have to add to my collection
Thanks for the excellent review!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Convoy L21a, L21B Sft40, Culpm1 throws good too sir.

The TS30S is more complicated to use, cause of andruril and I have it just for power appetite and fun, but boy, that SBT90.2 led can drain a battery faster then two Sofirns C8G together... :)
C8G Rules!
You cant go wrong with the C8G. Simple, powerful, dependable. Plus you wont burn your hand off with it.
The lighted tree at 35 meters is revealing. The Onlight warrior X pro and the Wurkkos TS303S showed the best detail of the tree at 35 meters.
Great comparison video. I have the WURKKOS TS30S, its a great thrower but I just ordered a Sofirn IF22A for a more compact thrower better for EDC. I also have a Olight Warrior X Pro but consider a thrower but more of a jack of all trades master of none.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I think you will really like the IF22A its a great edc/ entry level thrower option. Your thoughts on the Warrior X pro are spot on. Make sure you subscribe I just gave that light away in a GAW!
@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks for the reminder, subed :-)
Interesting interpretation - I was hoping the Olight would benefit from versatility, but as you say, it's an all rounder but not necessarily in a good way... I've been wanting one for ages (There are a few of the Mk1 600m versions on eBay) but am now thinking that a dedicated thrower/powerbank might be more useful. I have a Seeker 2 Pro, Perun 2 and S2RII..
with theTS30S you cant run turbo for more than a minute or you will fry your hand. Save money, pass on it.
I'd have to go with the Noctigon K1. I've got tons of flood and spill from my other lights. A super long thrower seems like the best addition for me.
Definitely the noctigon. Always impressive
It sure it!
That wurkkos ts30s is sick!!!!!!!!! Great prices honestly on most of these lights
Yeah the TS30S is a total beast! Not too expensive either with the discount. In general Wurkkos is very reasonably priced for the quality you get.
@@UrbanSurvivor definitely agreed the price is great for what the light is. Have you thought about comparing some big flood lights/search lights, later on like an olight marauder 2 ? And the rovy von s2 premium ?
The Noctigon is my favorite. The olight was surprising, as you commented that it was warmer in tint. All my experience with olight has proven that the tint is cold an terrible.
That olight the wire one is soooo dope
Glad I found this channel fist one I found that did lanterns as well
Yeah definitely the best style of the bunch! Glad you enjoyed the lantern videos! I saw a lantern comparison REI made about a year ago and thought it was trash so tried to put my own spin on it. Will definitely make another comparison next year of lanterns.
What do you think of the Thrunite Catapult V6?
My favorite is Noctigon K1 with Osram PM1 (W2)
Olight looks like a good mix of flood and throw!
Ya but the 2 min step down was lousy. Got rid of mine
Most of these lights I have never heard of or the companies, cynanksy and olight are the only ones I know. Exactly what's the difference between throw and well your normal light coverage? Sofrin(if22a) im amazed at the throw and lumens although the Manker has a better throw I would prefer the sofrin or olight. What is required to be in the giveaway?
Oh man, that if22a is impressing me with is versatility and output. But I think I'll go with the k1. Thanks again !
Yeah for the price the IF22A is a fantastic light!
I love these comparison videos! They are all sweet, but the warrior X pro is definitely my favorite of the bunch!
Thanks brother, glad you enjoyed it! That light is a wonderful choice! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Everything is a wonderful choice. Why is that? For ads and clicks? Good grief, disagree with someone or say what is better. Wait, you will not then get ad money form all vendors? LOL. @@UrbanSurvivor
I'd like to have the overall design of the Olight, but with the form factor, price and performance of the Sofirn.
Yeah Olight held up pretty well in the test but for the money sofirn can't be beat!
Great comparison. Definitely the Hanklight K1 W2.
Still waiting for 21700 floodlight , i have the manker it throw like a beast love it it step down a little too fast when get hot it look kinda like acebeam L18 😂😂 i hope you try some LEP in the future
My favorite is the olight warrior x pro and good explanation video
Thanks Raudel, glad you enjoyed the video! The Olight is fantastic!
Thanks for making the video
Digging the sofirn and the manker
Love these comparison videos. Watched them all. I love the Wurkkos TS30S. Never had a light from this brand before.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Let me know if you have any other ideas for comparison videos! Yeah Wurkkos is a fantastic brand. They make an 18650 light called the FC11 that's one of the best budget EDC lights in my opinion.
@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks for the suggestions. Been a flashlight lover since I was a kid. Thought I was weird cause of a weird hobby. A budget option lantern comparison video would be nice. Thanks.
I like that Wurkkos TS30S
That's a good choice! They also make a great budget 18650 EDC light called the FC11 worth checking out!
Great video! I love this type of comparison. Out of the bunch the Warrior X Pro would serve my needs the best.
Awesome, really glad you enjoy this style of video! I've done a bunch more like it for all kinds of lights - th-cam.com/play/PLMANL5AZPbqdo_-tmFx7UhKTkYJt4lr-q.html Great choice on the Warrior X Pro!
Hey PeskyPeet! I picked you as the winner of the Giveaway! Please email me at urbanpreppergearguide@gmail.com to arrange shipping!
Definitely the Noctigon K1. Love me a good Hank light!
Haha yeah Nocitgon is great! Do you own any other Hank lights?
Great comparisons, difficult choices for sure. I Like the Noctigon K1 cause it has the farthest reach which is helpful where I live.
That's a great choice! Must be cool to live in a place with a view! I have to drive about half an hour and hike another 15min to get to a place big and open enough to test these lights lol.
Mmmm, love me some Olight Warrior! Would truly have to see if my bff's engineer hubby could mod it for though. I need a batlight.
Haha well if that project ever comes to life you need to share a photo that would be incredible!
@@UrbanSurvivor I TOTALLY would!!
Been watching for a while now. I absolutely love the looks of that Olight Warrior X Pro. Such a great functioning light that could be EDC easily. Great video!
Thats the best looking light in my opinion as well! Thanks for watching!
Which one of these lights has like yellow producing light ?
The Noctigon K1 has to be my favorite. They're all great, but it's just the most insane. And it is "the beacon" from the meme afterall.
Yeah it's on another level that's for sure! I've got my eye on a few LEP lights so hoping to compare those sometime in the next few months too!
Great video! Thank you for comparing them
The warrior would be mine I just don't understand why it only offers high and low
K1 is my fav, although I already have the TS30S. Gotta love the lumens, but the K1 throw, though...gotta have both.
yeah the K1 is on another level. I'm working on acquiring a few LEP lights and it would be interesting to compare them with the K1
Awesome video. I'd have to go with the Manker U22, that thing is very impressive.
That's a great choice and much more carry friendly than the K1 while still delivering exceptional throw. Have a great weekend Alex!
The K1 is the most impressive to me! Great job on the video!
The K1 is great! Really glad you enjoyed the video!
The olight has to be my favorite! Just because the body of the light reminds me of a storm trooper lol but then again I like the rest of them !
Hey Madison, that's what it reminds me of too lol! Great choice with that one. Good luck and have a great rest of your weekend!
Yesterday i bought the ts30s with 2 21700 for 60€. I believe that is a good Deal.
Yeah that sounds like a great deal! Where did you get it from?
@@UrbanSurvivor Wurkkos Website. Special Deal because of some Chinese Holiday
I would have to go with the Olight Warrior X Pro to go with my Warrior 3. Great video.
Haha that would be a sick combo! Warrior 3 just arrived in my mailbox the other day so planning to get a review out in the next few weeks. Thank you for watching and Im glad you enjoyed the video.
have you tried the thrunite catapult mini? insane little TIR lens thrower. its 18350 powered and i forget that its in my jacket pocket.
Yes, it is a great light! I actually compared it to a handful of 18350/16340 lights in a video with a similar format - th-cam.com/video/IXp43t4mQF0/w-d-xo.html
Nightwatch has some pretty good lights to....
this was a great presentation, thanks for all the info.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! Which thrower are you leaning towards?
Helpful thorough review. The warrior would be the best fit for me.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it PT! That's a great light and seems to be most peoples favorite.
All of these are more impressive than anything I currently own but I think I would pick the Manker U22 III
Thats a great choice! Interesting profile pic and name lol
Are the sofirn throwers waterproof?
I always enjoy your many flashlight 🔦 comparisons in their variations based on battery…. However… i wish in this one u could have had Nitecore p30i in it as it uses a 21700 5000 mah battery. Would have been awesome to see the comparison
Thanks for the tip on the P30i! I'm probably going to remake this video in a few months and will see if I can get my hands on one of those!
The k1 is my favorite.
The wurkkos is the best overall. But I would probably pick the if22a to purchase for average use.
Hey Adam, The Wurkkos is great but I am with you on the IF22A being one of the best all around in terms of pocketability, performance and price. Very tough to beat it! Thanks for watching!

How does the acebeam t27 compare to the k1. And where is the charging port
Thats a great question, and I'm not sure how they compare lol. Seem to be similar lights on paper but I would expect the T27 to have a wider hotspot and less intensity. There is a charging port on the K1when you unscrew the tube from the head, I presented the wrong info on that...
👋 Hi Urban Survivor. I like the look of the O light warrior pro. - I would be so blessed to win. - I walk the county trail by my house each night and it’s very dark when I walk. I have had a couple surprises that scared me Recently One was a raccoon, a skunk and one recently was a homeless drink person. I would fell so much safer with a good light. I cannot work so this would be a blessing. Thanks for entering me. And thank you for your videos. Because of you I carry pepper spray now - bless 💜🙏
Hey Laura! Yikes, sounds like a sketchy place to walk at night! Good to hear you have some pepper spray that's a great idea! I'd be happy to recommend a few budget flashlight or headlamp options at some point if needed! Having some light would enhance your safety! Thanks so much for watching, and good luck on the giveaway!
@@UrbanSurvivor thank you 🙏💜
I love my 🐇 Lumintop D2 NICHIA 4000k and 🐇 Lumintop GT mini NW , one with wide hotspot and one with tight hotspot .
Ive got the D2 with the nichia as well and really like it!
The Noctigon K1 is overall my favorite for its output. Definitely not pocket friendly though ha ha.
Haha no it is certainly not pocket friendly. For that the If22A is not bad. Thank you for watching and hoping you enjoy your weekend!
Wurkkos ts30s is my choice. Seems a bit pricey however.
Yeah it is a great light and a little expensive but you do get a lot for what you pay for. For budget options, the Sofirn lights are the best!
I like the manker u22 iii... it’s impressive for its size
Hey Tank, that's a great light! Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
can you make a video on the best Flood Flashlight please ?
Wurrkos TS30S, lovely light.
Yeah it is a great light! The FC11 is another light they make that runs on an 18650 and is a great EDC budget option. Thanks for watching Jack!
I think the Wurkkos TS30S is the best; well, for my needs anyway.
I have an Olight Warrior X Pro and M2R Pro; neither are worth the money IMHO.
I almost purchased the Warrior X Turbo; however, seeing my new IF22a make the Warrior Pro look sad in comparison, I'm pretty much done with Olights.
i liked the Science guy k3 one
what flashlight thrower have 5000k tint?
Can you help me? I'm looking for a tight long throw with the least amount of flood.
Of these the sofirn if22a or the noctigon k1 would be be good choices. Otherwise an LEP light might be a good choice. I am going to be comparing a handful of them in a few weeks.
Thanks for the video. I could give that Warrior X Pro a nice home
Hey Andrew, that's a great one! Seems to be the top choice for most people! Thanks for watching and hope you have a good weekend!
Where are Shadowhawk and Victoper??
I like manker because beautiful lens.
I was missing Manker MC13, Acebeam E10 and L17-L19...
The olight warrior x turbo needs to be in this!
The Mankar U22 lll seems like best light for me .
Thats a great one! Thanks for watching!
Noctigon K1 if im lucky!!! My fav for long distance thrower
That's a fantastic choice Ning! The range on the K1 is stunning!
Manker U22 III FTW!
That's a fantastic light!
Sofirn IF22A Perfect Budget Thrower!!!
Yeah its fantastic for the price. Probably the best for somebody new to throwers.
@@UrbanSurvivor absolutely 💯
