    My current edc is the Wurkkos TS22 70.3 hi cri. Substantially smaller & lighter than the SC33 with nice tint as well. Its bout the largest 21700 light I'd wanna edc. TS10 is a great light with big lumens for its size for those into smaller pkgs

      Just be careful with it. Mine (70.2 5000K) decided to unlock and activate turbo this evening while driving on the highway. It wasn’t until I smelled smoke and felt my thigh burning that I realized it burned a hole through my pants and boxers, and my thigh was next 😂😂
      I love it and really want to try it with 70.3 for the added throw.

      @@scottsum1319 I forgot about 5C! I used that for maybe a day before deciding I liked auto-lock better. Some movement while driving had to have double tapped the switch and then continued pressing it unfortunately. Lesson learned, no more lights in loose pockets while driving

      2-tap > temporarily disable auto-lockout and back to lock state in 1miunutes
      4-tap > disable auto-lockout feature (another 4-tap to enable)
      at least mine works this way, then I just wonder if this is new firmware thing or existing feature nobody using (I've seen many reviewers complaining auto-lock timer being too short), have you tried 4 tap? If yours work like mine then it could have been this way since the first batch.

    My favs from the list is the Wurkkos TD03 and sofirn if23... Can't beat the price performance ratio and both are different from the usual cookie cutter releases! The flashlight game has really changed its affordable now, back in the day you would pay hundreds for what was considered high end lights and I think all these budget lights on this list would stomp a mud hole in those lights today! Lol

    I agree with you on this video. I have all of them apart from your first 2 flashlights.
    I have the sofirm SP33S not got the SC33, will look into this one.
    The IF23 are always in my cars, such a great light.
    My EDC is the Wurkkos FC13, it's always in my pocket.
    I'd like to add another light, that would be the Astrolux EA04. Comes with extention tube and you can use some many different batteries in it, probably not a 2023 release but a great flashlight.
    Merry Christmas!! 🎅

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Interesting list. I agree with you that the IF23 has the perfect feature set for camping. I do think it is a little chunky for EDC and too heavy to clip to the brim of my cap. I find myself dropping my new Baton 4 in my pocket more than anything else since I got it. I like the 3 LED charge status indicator on the button and how it is small enough to clip to my cap for hands-free work. Keep up the good work and see you in 2024!

      If you want something comparable. ( I’m not fluent in every sofirn wurkkos etc). The wurkkos ts25 is a lot like it and is brighter, it’s anduril v2 so you can do a lot with it, and has a great spill to throw ratio..
