Also known as handheld photon cannons. They are a class of small to medium-caliber directed-energy devices whose main principle of action is to strike an opponent with a shaped beam of artificially generated electromagnetic radiation.
yes, cant have m8s shining flashy blinkies in the eyes
Olights suck. They have reduculously high unsustainable lumen output to sucker in retards that just look for big numbers.
no matter how bright they may shine, they'll never cut through the dark thoughts that sit in us
Nobody NEEDS to see in the dark. Ban flashlights before the next shining
i unironically buy 99 cent lights and duct tape it to my shitty dpms oracle AR, and when i lose them innawoods or they break i got a batch of 1000 sitting at home + 400 free laser pointers so i can put on two or three more to blind my wildlife and enemies with chink made lights and pointers
why the fuck didn't you tell me that before i bit the trigger on an olight

How Do It Know
Generally speaking, the higher the lumens/candella, the better but it's not the end all be all. A 1,000 lumen light from a quality manufacturer like Surefire, Streamlight or Fenix will provide you more information than a 500 lumen one. That being said; a $5 chinese flashlight with "4,200" lumens won't perform as well due to it being a cheap piece of shit. Not all flashlights are created equal and you get what you pay for most of the time. A 500 lumen Surefire X300U will create a stronger and cleaner beam pattern that illuminates shit better than a $10 chinklight that has twice the amount of advertised lumen due to the quality of certain components such as the reflector for example.
Streamlight's Protac line of lights is a good middle ground for budget minded buyers, they work very well and are durable enough for carrying or even putting on a long gun. Don't buy your shit off Amazon lest you want a fake. Go to a reputable dealer like Big Tex Outdoors, Optics Planet or LA Police Gear, ask me how I know.
No matter how much a black person uses one, they'll never find their dad.
But I love my some thrunite, fenix, streamlight, olight. Not all of my collection, decent amount.
Oh shit.
Forgot to mention; get a handheld light THEN a weapon mounted light. A handheld not only is a million times more likely to use and overall more useful, you can't point a weapon mounted light at someone you don't want to shoot. With a handheld light even a 1,000 lumen one, the most you'll end up with is a mildly annoyed individual.
>you can't point a weapon at someone you don't want to shoot.
You sound like my wife.
Olight is based. All high-lumen lights only run turbo modes temporarily. It's mostly an issue with heat. "Duty lights" like police surefires and streamlights don't push the limits so they don't have to drop lumens to compensate for heat, which makes them more consistent for extended use. That also means brands like olight, thrunite, and acebeam will give you more lumens (out of comparable battery cells and emitters) than duty lights, but only for the first couple minutes of continuous use; sustainable output is about the same for both. Recreational lights also typically have more brightness levels and auxiliary modes, along with having brighter turbo outputs. All that stuff is great for edc or around the house, but only gets in the way for tactical use. Most of the time you get what you pay for with a flashlight, but you have to decide what niche you need your flashlight to fill before spending your money on something not tailored to your intended use. Modes, UI, beam profile, size & weight, output, and budget are all important factors in determining which flashlight is right for you.

Get a nice 1” light and a Thyrm Switchback. Looks weird, but increases the utility of the light tremendously.
>All high-lumen lights only run turbo modes temporarily.
If the flashlight is physically large enough to act as a heat sink, then it's possible to run "turbo" continuously. Just look at some of the Convoy lights, like the L6. Or some of the larger, last generation, Acebeams, like the K70. Neither of those will step down, no matter how long you run them.
You are right. I've got a DX80 that can pump out 5000lm until the battery dies. For a smaller light this would be the max output, but when you talk about its "turbo," it can do ~32,000lm for only like 3 minutes. Big thrower lights like the k70 can drive its single emitter to its true turbo and act as a heatsink like you say. More lumens, more heat, the bigger the body necessary to handle turbo. Just depends what kind of light we're talking about.
I use the sofirn SF36, going to eventually swap out to the Thorfire vg15s because I like the profile better, but functually, they're exactly the same.
It has reverse polarity and low voltage battery protection if you use unprotected 18650s that you scavenge from Laptop batteries/Teslas.
Does 8/50/300/1070 Lumens low to high, with a strobe mode also at 1070. Has built in memory mode for your last used setting.
Pic related is beam shot on highest.
Hate to be a shill, but this light is literally $30 on amazon battery included. Similar performance to an Olight minus the fancy USB charging meme

what's that, a nigger?
You like, flip the little switch thing, and BOOM
Now you can mow down nigs at past 9
"Turbo" mode for all thrunite are like 1h, before it drops down to next mode. Same with my streamlight (though 45mins) my fenix tk09 is 5mins, that's pre built in for energy saving / heat issues.
You want the real redpill
Never buy a flashlight less than 30,000 lumens
>"Turbo" mode for all thrunite are like 1h, before it drops down to next mode.
It used to be that way, but new tech can handle so much more power than what older lights could do. For example, a tc-12 has no problem with 1100 lm, but the new tc-15 can deliver 2300 lm in basically the same form factor. As a matter of fact, the thrunite th30 puts out 3350 lm from an even smaller body. And even slightly bigger lights like the olight warrior x that's been getting promoted all over youtube can't sustain 2000 lm out of a single 18650 body. It's a similar story with a lot of flashlight manufacturers now. Heat and compact size is still a problem even with better batteries like in the new fenix pd36r (1600 lm) or acebeam t36 (2000 lm). Btw, anytime you see "temperature protection" in a list of features, you know the light is going to drop its output when you run turbo for a while. A year or two ago, heat issues were a lot more uncommon in edc style lights. Now that the industry has new tech and realized lumens sell, we see a lot more maximized turbo outputs even if the lumens are there more for marketing than for actual use. Here are some links to lights I was talking about btw:

bravely done, user. you said nigger on Jow Forums.
Only autistic manchildren carry flashlights. Real chads use the light switch or their iPhone.
Btw - unironically awesome taste in women.
My number one priority in flashlights is battery and recharging options. Can I replace the battery easily and fast with another? Can I buy more of them locally? Can I recharge them, and can I do it within the body or do I need an external job for it? Is the solution compatible with my car, laptop, any public power source? And does my other electric gear run on that same battery type?
i have the flashtorch. ama
>nobody needs fucking "redpilled" on fucking flashlights. You need a primer. You're not resisting some sort of in-depth knaw-ledge about a fucking pocket sun.
Cunt.
There's a ton on the market.
>Battery selection
Choose a battery type. 18650 and now 21700 are becoming the "de facto" format for high output lights. Theyre rechargeable. Buy quality batteries and a good charger, and recognize that if they go boom in your hand, you're probably losing your hand. Many, but Not All, 18650 lights can use 2xCR123 (3v Li primaries) but will not have as ling a run time or as high an output as a single 18650 or 21700 cell. But you can store CR123s long term. There are lots of good lights that use 1xCR123 or its rechargeable Li-ion format, the 16340. Some can use 18350s (16340s larger variant), which have higher capacities, but most cant. Lots of good lights that use 1 or 2AA bateries, generally built around Ni-MH rechargeables (Eneloops are gtg), but will work to some degree with alkaline batteries (not a good choice at all) or Lithium primaries (Energizer AAs, 20 yr shelf life, better performance in cold than alkaleak or Ni-MH). Some can use 1x14500 Li ion battery, but most 2AA lights will be fried by using 2x14500 li ion batteries.
>Emitters
Cree, Nichia, Lumileds, Samsung, Osram.
Cree has XP-E (not common, lowest output), XP-G/G2/G3 (Higher output, G2 and G3 have sometimes weird color shift), XP-L and XP-L HI (higher output, HI version will have better throw in the same light), XM-L/XML2 (higher output, often weird color shift).
Nichia offers really good High CRI LEDs (neutral, almost halogen like color, and anYthing high CRI will make differentiating colors easier. Not super high output usually).
Osram and Samsung chips offer kind of a mix.
If doing anything out doors, I'm going to *Highly* recommend HIGH CRI lights, even if the output is lower. Much easier to actually see with.

Too many to list.

has anyone gotten a seizure from the strobe light
Da moar lumens da moar gooder u ca see wif em
yeah sometimes I do it for fun
>"Turbo" mode for all thrunite are like 1h
No. The brightness steps down much sooner than that for almost all flashlights that have a stepdown. For the smaller flashlights, they start to ramp down, imperceptibly, almost immediately. Most of the medium or large Thrunite flashlights are designed to get around 1.5 minutes on turbo before they ramp down.
They're way cooler if you own a fog machine.
This. What's the point of buying such a retardedly high lumen light when it will either drain the battery or overheat? I have a thrunite Ti4, and it can run on firefly mode (0.4 lumens) for 134 hours solid on two decent AAA batteries. I usually don't need more light than that if I need to take a closer look at something, and I haven't changed the batteries since I got it, 10 months ago.

>you can't point a weapon mounted light at someone you don't want to shoot
Weapon lights are generally QD, making them marginally less comfortable to use than purpose-built handhelds. This is really the only drawback.
0.4 lumens is weak as fuck. Useless, gay, cucked, and bluepilled.
They can often give away your position.
It's actually called "Moon mode" and it's the next best thing to a tactical red light in terms of providing legitimate working light not really illuminating your surrounding area.

>he's not a blf fag
>get rekt noob
I have been carrying an Olight M2T warrior for the past year now, decent light high lumen when you need it. Have dropped it countless times. Only con is the rubber/silicone button for modes. If you're shopping around for an EDC find something with metal buttons.
