Fenix all the way. Have owned about 10 of them and the one's i have left ( lost a few) are still going strong and i use them every night. Im also very hard on flashlights. Never had a problem with any of them except changing batteries. C charging makes a difference 2 and build quality( check out the threading).
The mh12 pro is my favorite! Compact with good throw and decent flood hight candela for its size! The fenix tk is my 2nd fosure. Appreciate the full breakdown in this video really cool to watch!!
You and me both! Can't beat those brands for the price! Especially the Wurkkos, seems fair to pay double what they are asking lol. Nitecore really outdid themselves with this light they are defintely moving in the right direction with that light!
Thanks Jimmy, thats a great choice! Yeah we only allow one comment per user to make it fair but you are welcome to reply to other comments as well! Good luck on the giveaway and hope you enjoy your weekend!
You don't know what you talking about. Wurkkos TD01 looks impressive for very short period of time on turbo but the step down is really brutal and sustainability of output is truly laughable.
Must admit, huge Acebeam fan myself. Love their lights. But, already own that Klarus model. So, Fenix TK20R UE gets my vote in this video. Mainly for being easier to pocket-carry, along with that unique U.I.
Thank you for making these reviews. I had always been an Olight fan, but channels like yours have opened my eyes to other brands that are just as good, but at more reasonable prices. Sofirn and Nitecore are great examples. Recent Acebeam fan, as I just purchased an M1 Terminator. Hard to pick a favorite from these, but I think the Nitecore offers the best of both worlds.
i really like acebeam's build quality but for this lineup, I'd choose the nitecore mh12. interested in checking out the new emitter and hard cover port design.
I expected that I would choose the Acebeam, which looks like a great light. And the Olight partly due to the excellent support, but I think top choice for me is the Nitecore. Looks like a great overall package. Still love the drone shots you include. This video was put together very well.
Great choices! Yeah hopefully will be able to improve upon the drone shots in the coming videos as well but also glad to hear you enjoy it lol. Its fun to fly around too.
Awesome review🔥 I've been binging videos looking for my first EDC flashlight. I want a decent flood but a strong throw in case I need to blind someone in a self-defense situation. The Nitecore MH12 Pro seems like the best one to carry around.
To anyone looking to buy the p17, i would give it a hard miss... the bulid quality is probably the most sturdy and rugged, but the power outputs are the worst i have ever seen for acebeam. It only holds turbo at 4900 for 60 seconds that is understandable but high at 2200 lumens with a step down at 5 mins to 600 lumen (wtf) but a medium of 500 lumens stpping down after 5 hours to 90 lumens (hell no) the only output that will last constant for more than 5 hours is 90 lumen. My £2 flashlights can hold more than that. On top of bad power drain the flashlight also has parasitic drain and will only last in storage 3 weeks before the battery is dead with 0 use. Acebeam will also most likely make a v2 as it is a problem light, making the warranty invalid. Complete failure
Which of these lights keep a constant turbo brightness, i like My lights to keep the high output until the last drop of energy, like the old armytek barracuda i used to have Great video and the drone shots is something ive not seen incorporated before, its a nice touch Maybe you can add like a drone shot that starts at a certain hight then ramps up to the distance in this video 😊 Thank you 🤟🏼
Most flashlights are very usefull. I prefer a straightforward UI. Using flashlight for years in my work. They might be bright but you dont need that overwhelming lumens output. Not unless you really need to illuminate a huge and very dark area. Have used Olight, Nitecore, Klarus, Nicron and others. Even surefire and maglite.
I’ll keep on looking at these vids, daydreaming that I own all these lights 😂 it’s just sweet to see all the B-roll of beam shots, and up close with the flashlights themselves. But this channel does play a big roll in which flashlights I’ve purchased. (And will purchase) Another Banger!! 🔥🔥🔥
Very good flashlight comparison and excellent explanation, my favorite flashlight Acebeam p17 defender is a very nice design and has a very bright light and I like the tail tactical button because it is easier to to find when in the dark
lol too cool i hope i win ive been trying to win for ever now and i sware i just cant get a break lol anyways have agreat day brother im happy to see another great video
Has OLight sorted out the issue with the issue with metal in your pocket (keys, coins, etc...) touching the charging circle and shorting out? Try it, touch your OLight tail cap with something metal connecting the center to the ring. It will probably create a small spark which is bad enough and it will short out the switch requiring it to be removed and replaced to reset. There is no way I can depend on OLight as an edc or defense light if I have to remove and replace the tail cap to get it to turn on. When they fix that problem with their lights I might buy another one
I bought a baton pro like 3years ago and a warrior x3 like 1 year ago also a seeker 4 pro, and none of them have ever done this... they are made to be stuck onto metal. The old problem like 5 years ago was the tail cap could start a fire if you it had example wire wool shavings on it
Quality of your videos is always improving, this drone shots are great addition, also this transitions are really nice looking 👌. I thinking that I would picked acebeam p17, then the fenix, and then nitecore or the olight. Definitely not wurkkos, sustainability of output is really miserable, I also don't trust klarus, this lights glitch a lot.
Haha thank you for the compliment and noticing the drone! I like the lineup you picked. Suprised to hear that Klarus is not up to par... haven't had any issues personally but these kinds of things can happen with all brands.
@@UrbanSurvivor ofcourse I noticed a drone shots. To be honest, maybe because of location, they reminded me of the original GTA games. I don't know if you remember/played them, but they used a top down view. I dont know if all klarus are bad, but there were problems with some flashlights at UI levels. I'm loosing my patience with wurkkos and sofirn lately. Or should I wrote jimba technology? They should stop dwelling in mediocre lights with poor performing drivers. We all know they can do better than this. Sofirn sp33s, wurkkos ts22 , sofirn sc33, aluminium electronic switches... but no they have to use fet+1 drivers 🙄. For what? Even anduril works with boots ones. 🤷🏻♂️ Btw, did you heard of Aplos? 3th brand of jimba, produced by them but with good drivers. New tactical line up from wurkkos sucks, from sofirn is better but still with some problems, but from Aplos is preety nice, specially for the price. Performance of aplos T-line lights are really good.
I can't help it, my favorite is the Fenix TK20R UE. I've always liked Fenix but just never got around to buying one. Thank you for the comparison videos. They are very helpful.
The comparison is very good, sir. The most loved tactical flashlight with the 21700 battery makes for longer operating time, one of my favorites is the UE Fenix TK20R with SFT70 LEDs and has dual switches and has a hidden USBC that makes it feel safer. Hope I can keep it and thanks for the giveaway
Love the format of this video, very well done! As for my pick of the bunch, the Acebeam P17 has a nice beam, UI and form, easily takes top spot, but the Fenix TK20R UE is a very close second
Tactical flaslight for in and around the house for me is the Fenix TK 20r ur. Throw with a good amount of spil. Usb c is a must if you use it in house. If you charge your battery ( flaslight) in the usb c port and you need the for emergency, you can grab it quickly. Build quality is awsome. Reliability also a important factor for a tactical flaslight. At last direct access to turbo and strobe. The Fenix do this all for me. I liked verry much the Acebeam , UI I dislike and no usb C port.
I'm with you on the convenience of the usb-c port. The only downside is that they can be a point of weakness for water/ dust but the way they concealed the port is exceptional.
Awesome choice! I've had a bunch of sofirns and their quality and reliability has been good. If I know im going to be in a situaiton where the light will get beat up sofirn is the brand I'll take, mostly because I wont be upset to break or lose their lights lol
Very good reviews and very good comparison, my favorite flashlight is ace beam p17 and I have wanted it for a long time but it has not been fulfilled, very nice design and very strong light and has dual tactical buttons, just looking from the phone screen already makes me happy let alone have it, thanks for the giveaway I wish all good luck
Good choice and thank you for watching! Yeah the throw is insane and it competes in performance with lights that are 3x as expensive. A great choice if you need a thrower.
Fenix all the way. Have owned about 10 of them and the one's i have left ( lost a few) are still going strong and i use them every night. Im also very hard on flashlights. Never had a problem with any of them except changing batteries. C charging makes a difference 2 and build quality( check out the threading).
I think this is the best flashlight comparison videos I've seen on RUclips!
@@Raumyn thank you!
Nitecore for me. Just what i wanted for a flashlight overall and Fenix probably my next choice. Thanks again for a great comparison video.
The mh12 pro is my favorite! Compact with good throw and decent flood hight candela for its size! The fenix tk is my 2nd fosure. Appreciate the full breakdown in this video really cool to watch!!
Yeah I was very impressed. This is one of my favorite lights from Nitecore! Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching.
Great Video Mate. I am always surprised how both Sofirn and Wurkkos keep raising the bar on each new release. But that Nitecore sure looks sweet.
You and me both! Can't beat those brands for the price! Especially the Wurkkos, seems fair to pay double what they are asking lol. Nitecore really outdid themselves with this light they are defintely moving in the right direction with that light!
Agreed wurkkos and sofirn are pushing the bar with quality economic flashlights, real big fan of them
I'd go with the Sofirn sp35t for the price and, looked like a bit warmer light. Thanks for the rundown of some good options.
can't beat sofirn on price! Thank you for watching and good luck!
I think I'd go for that Nitecore MH12 Pro. I typically go for the slim lights for easier carry. Great video. Thanks for the opportunity!
The Wurkkos is a bit too bulky compared to the competition, but I vote for it because I like it for its throw.
Haha yeah the throw is spectacular but the pocket carry friendlyness is lol. All around its a very fun light.
Great video! I’d love to try the Wurkkos after watching this. I don’t have a long thrower in my collection yet.
My new nitecore MH25 PRO just got delivered today
The acebeam p17! I have the p16 and it’s great so far.
Great choice! Love the P16 as well that's one of my favorite EDC flashlights.
I carry lights for situational awareness I dont need a light that shines 500 yds, I prefer flood anymore!!
I like the Warrior 3S
The olight is my favorite
i would pick the ACEBEAM P17 because of how the light looks and its perfect for mid throw so yeah thats the one i would pick if i had to
Thanks Jimmy, thats a great choice! Yeah we only allow one comment per user to make it fair but you are welcome to reply to other comments as well! Good luck on the giveaway and hope you enjoy your weekend!
P17 my true love❤❤
haha I feel the same way!
Olight for me 🤞
Thanks for the comment and good luck.
First place. WURKKOS TD01 Second place NITECOREN12 PRO 3rd place ACEBEAM P17
You don't know what you talking about. Wurkkos TD01 looks impressive for very short period of time on turbo but the step down is really brutal and sustainability of output is truly laughable.
I'd definitely pick the Fenix TK20R UE! I absolutely love dual tail-switch designs! Thanks for the opportunity!
Must admit, huge Acebeam fan myself. Love their lights. But, already own that Klarus model. So, Fenix TK20R UE gets my vote in this video. Mainly for being easier to pocket-carry, along with that unique U.I.

i really like acebeam's build quality but for this lineup, I'd choose the nitecore mh12. interested in checking out the new emitter and hard cover port design.
i have them all and my favorite is the olight warrior x3 and just ordered the new x4 - limited options but its an unbelievable tac light on full blast
The world need this comparison. Thanks for sharing detail review and great beamshots.
My favorite is the NexTorch TA30C Max
I expected that I would choose the Acebeam, which looks like a great light. And the Olight partly due to the excellent support, but I think top choice for me is the Nitecore. Looks like a great overall package. Still love the drone shots you include. This video was put together very well.
Great choices! Yeah hopefully will be able to improve upon the drone shots in the coming videos as well but also glad to hear you enjoy it lol. Its fun to fly around too.
Nitecore MH 12 PRO for me.
Keep up the good work!
Great choice! Yeah nitecore really impressed me with the MH12 pro its one of the best lights nitecore has ever made!
Maybe im wrong but an Olight Seeker4Pro would be way better then any thrower.
Awesome review🔥 I've been binging videos looking for my first EDC flashlight. I want a decent flood but a strong throw in case I need to blind someone in a self-defense situation. The Nitecore MH12 Pro seems like the best one to carry around.
Yeah i think that would be an excellent edc flashlight! Its very compact for a 21700 light and incredibly versatile.
The Fenix TK20R UE with the green anodization looks incredible and somewhat pocketable, definitely going to look into it more
It's not too bad for pocket carry but my preference would be something smaller if it was going to be carried regularly.
Great Video.
The Nitecore MH12 Pro would be my choice.
MH12 light has a green tint. And that's too bad.
I love the Acebeam P17 for its sturdy build and massive lumen output. Awesome video as usual.
Totally agree! Thank you for watching!
MH12 pro 🤤
To anyone looking to buy the p17, i would give it a hard miss... the bulid quality is probably the most sturdy and rugged, but the power outputs are the worst i have ever seen for acebeam.

Which of these lights keep a constant turbo brightness, i like My lights to keep the high output until the last drop of energy, like the old armytek barracuda i used to have
Great video and the drone shots is something ive not seen incorporated before, its a nice touch
Maybe you can add like a drone shot that starts at a certain hight then ramps up to the distance in this video 😊
Thank you 🤟🏼
Most flashlights are very usefull. I prefer a straightforward UI. Using flashlight for years in my work. They might be bright but you dont need that overwhelming lumens output. Not unless you really need to illuminate a huge and very dark area. Have used Olight, Nitecore, Klarus, Nicron and others. Even surefire and maglite.
I really like the Fenix TK20R this time, great output ! Count me in for this amazing giveaway ! Cheers
Nice review, i think i agree with you about the acebeam p17 being my favorite.
I think the Olight warrior X4 is a true tactical flashlight. And the best one at that.
I have PT16.Really like it.super bright!I take it everyday!Brinyte makes good light!
You just confirmed my choice. Nitecore MH21 Pro for me... Great review. Thanks!
I’ll keep on looking at these vids, daydreaming that I own all these lights 😂 it’s just sweet to see all the B-roll of beam shots, and up close with the flashlights themselves. But this channel does play a big roll in which flashlights I’ve purchased. (And will purchase)
Another Banger!! 🔥🔥🔥
I like the Nitecore. Their constantly innovating & coming out with the Highest quality products.
Its the Olight for me! Thanks for doing the giveaway. Great video!
Very good flashlight comparison and excellent explanation, my favorite flashlight Acebeam p17 defender is a very nice design and has a very bright light and I like the tail tactical button because it is easier to to find when in the dark
Wurkkos td01 is the best in my opinion, just the range and usable spill is perfect
MH12 Pro has good power, slim design, and nice beam.
Any comments about Olight Seeker 4 Pro.?
lol not sure if i was sapost to only leave one comment or not sorry about that lol but yeah my choice is ACEBEAM P17 lol
In the market for a thrower, so my choice would be the wurkkos td01
Excellent, thank you! Acebeam P17 for my money!
I really like the olight best! Good size and I’m a fan of the charging setup.
Instead of wasting our time telling us all the flashlights before you even started the review, you should have just started reviewing them one by one.
Don't be a dick.
Make your own video
@@dee.snuts88 Strawman argument and deflection. Me making a video isn't going to cause this one to not waste our time.
Tất cả những cây đèn đó của bạn quá đẹp, chúng đều là giấc mơ của tui,ngoại trừ cây Sofirn SP35T, vì tui đang sở hữu nó.Thanks.Awesome video👍💯
Thank you for the nice comment! I appreciate your support of the channel.
lol too cool i hope i win ive been trying to win for ever now and i sware i just cant get a break lol anyways have agreat day brother im happy to see another great video
I really like the Acebeam P17 because it is very bright and that's what I need from a flashlight
Agreed! It blows away the competition! Also chekc out the P18 if you want something even brighter lol. Only downside is the head is huge.
Has OLight sorted out the issue with the issue with metal in your pocket (keys, coins, etc...) touching the charging circle and shorting out? Try it, touch your OLight tail cap with something metal connecting the center to the ring.

Fenix :3
I like Acebeam P17 design and output is good
wurkkos TD01
Since all of them are not high CRI, I like Wurkkos the most for it's throw. But it's the least carry friendly 🤷♂️
Yeah typically you find high cri lights in the edc class, not so much with tactical lights.
Cool, can you review the nitecore SRT7i?
I’m liking the new nitecore here…cutting edge at a good price
BRINYTE PT16 beam profile seems really good. Perfect thrower with good flood
Yeah Brinyte is another under the radar brands that actually makes good quality lights. Build quality is very high and they feel very sturdy!
Nextorch for the UI and look, Nitecore for the new LED (I'm curious about the efficiency)
This is probably my favorite light nextorch makes and the rotary switch is nice! Thank you for watching!
The Fenix Tk20r UE is definitely my favorite go to tactical light. Excellent beam and quality of light is top notch.
Thats a great choice! Thank you for watching.
Love the Fenix TK20 UE charging point and dual button! It has definitely has been added to my wishlist!
That's a great choice! Fenix is a great brand.
Awesome review, it is a practical and compact light.
Love all the variety, enter me as well for this giveaway ! I really love the Fenix TK20R ! Thanks
Entered! Good luck and thank you very much for watching.
Going with the Acebeam here even though it's not my favourite brand.
Great choice! Love acebeam
My favorite is the Nitecore MH12 pro since it is the brand that I always use as a reference when buying flashlights.
This is one of my favorite Nitecore lights in the past few years! Definitely stepped up their game with this beauty!
Big fan of all Acebeam products. Good quality and price point. Thanks for the comparisons.
They do make great quality gear for the price!
My fav is the fenix tk20r ue. Awesome torch. Thanks for the cool video.
Thanks for watching! Thats a great choice!
I really like the Wurrkos TD01
The Fenix looks like a great option for me.
I like the acebeam p17 it reminds me of my old surefire defender 6p looks very reliable
haha yeah can totally see the similarity between those two!
I like the olight warrior 3s 🙏
The Fenix it looks great
Have always been a huge fenix fan and would love to try that out or the acebeam!
Agreed! The Fenix PD35 was the first real flashlight I ever bought and thats what started me down the rabbit hole lol
I really like Acebeam P17
I like the Acebeam
Awsome choice! Thank you for watching.
My faforite is the Olight
I like The Acebeam P17
Quality of your videos is always improving, this drone shots are great addition, also this transitions are really nice looking 👌.
I thinking that I would picked acebeam p17, then the fenix, and then nitecore or the olight. Definitely not wurkkos, sustainability of output is really miserable, I also don't trust klarus, this lights glitch a lot.
Haha thank you for the compliment and noticing the drone! I like the lineup you picked. Suprised to hear that Klarus is not up to par... haven't had any issues personally but these kinds of things can happen with all brands.
@@UrbanSurvivor ofcourse I noticed a drone shots. To be honest, maybe because of location, they reminded me of the original GTA games. I don't know if you remember/played them, but they used a top down view.
I dont know if all klarus are bad, but there were problems with some flashlights at UI levels.
I'm loosing my patience with wurkkos and sofirn lately. Or should I wrote jimba technology? They should stop dwelling in mediocre lights with poor performing drivers. We all know they can do better than this. Sofirn sp33s, wurkkos ts22 , sofirn sc33, aluminium electronic switches... but no they have to use fet+1 drivers 🙄. For what? Even anduril works with boots ones. 🤷🏻♂️
Btw, did you heard of Aplos? 3th brand of jimba, produced by them but with good drivers. New tactical line up from wurkkos sucks, from sofirn is better but still with some problems, but from Aplos is preety nice, specially for the price. Performance of aplos T-line lights are really good.
Love the nitecore mh12 pro!
Love the channel, hope i win Nitecore MH12 Pro is my favorite.
Olight Warrior 3S is my favorite :)
Awsome pick! Thank you for watching.
Nextorch is may best pick😊
Thats a great choice! I am fond of nextorch lights they make some good gear.
Without thinking about it, the Acebeam P17 defender ...I like high lumens...thanks for the generosity of your giveaways
haha yeah you can never go wrong with Acebeam! If I had to stick to one brand i'd pick them.
Acebeam for me!
Fantastic choice! Really like Acebeam too.
I can't help it, my favorite is the Fenix TK20R UE. I've always liked Fenix but just never got around to buying one. Thank you for the comparison videos. They are very helpful.
Can't go wrong with Fenix! the PD35 was the first real flashlight I ever bought so they are responsible for sending me down the rabbit hole lol...
I personally like the Olight Warrior 3s. The fact that they now come with a lifetime warranty makes them even more appealing.
absolutely a game changer considerind the lifetime warranty! I'm not aware of any other brands that offer that!
The comparison is very good, sir. The most loved tactical flashlight with the 21700 battery makes for longer operating time, one of my favorites is the UE Fenix TK20R with SFT70 LEDs and has dual switches and has a hidden USBC that makes it feel safer. Hope I can keep it and thanks for the giveaway
Thank you so much for watching and that is a great choice!
Love the format of this video, very well done! As for my pick of the bunch, the Acebeam P17 has a nice beam, UI and form, easily takes top spot, but the Fenix TK20R UE is a very close second
Hey Thomas! Drew you as the winner! Please email me at urbanpreppergearguide@gmail.com to arrange shipping!
Here's hoping I finally have a chance to win! Of the lineup, I'd go with the Wurkkos TD01. For the size and throw it's impressive.
Thanks for the comment! Your chances are pretty good usually there are less than 100 entries per video!
Holy crap, the tint shift on that Sofirn.
Tactical flaslight for in and around the house for me is the Fenix TK 20r ur. Throw with a good amount of spil. Usb c is a must if you use it in house. If you charge your battery ( flaslight) in the usb c port and you need the for emergency, you can grab it quickly. Build quality is awsome.

I'm with you on the convenience of the usb-c port. The only downside is that they can be a point of weakness for water/ dust but the way they concealed the port is exceptional.
The nitecore mh12 pro would be my first choice too. Sofirn is affordable but I'm unsure of their quality... still, Olight Warrior is very tempting xD
Awesome choice! I've had a bunch of sofirns and their quality and reliability has been good. If I know im going to be in a situaiton where the light will get beat up sofirn is the brand I'll take, mostly because I wont be upset to break or lose their lights lol
Very good reviews and very good comparison, my favorite flashlight is ace beam p17 and I have wanted it for a long time but it has not been fulfilled, very nice design and very strong light and has dual tactical buttons, just looking from the phone screen already makes me happy let alone have it, thanks for the giveaway I wish all good luck
That's one of my favorite tactical lights ever made! Thank you for the comment and wish you good luck on the giveaway!
Would love to win the Wurkkos TD01. The range impressive on it and just a very nice light in general. That's my top pick of the lot.
Good choice and thank you for watching! Yeah the throw is insane and it competes in performance with lights that are 3x as expensive. A great choice if you need a thrower.
