Arbitrary List of Popular Flashlights - Winter Solstice 2024 Edition
In honor of Winter Solstice, I've made an updated list of popular flashlights. Today is the day you're most likely to need a flashlight in the northern hemisphere, and I have some good candidates here.
Hey Zak, if you're still updating this, I'm going to suggest linking Parametrek's very precise review of the Nitecore HA11 in the section about that light: http://parametrek.com/blog/ha11.html
I've almost lost interest in the HA11 though. The H25LR is now my goto light for just about everything. It's my #1 recommendation for a first or only light for almost anyone, unless you specifically want a pocket EDC. Also, I hadn't really thought about it before, but it seems to me to be of higher quality (thicker metal) than the earlier micro-USB version that I had used for a while. So I think it is a no-brainer and I might make a followup post saying so, particularly if I manage to install a tritium vial. The HA11 is a lightweight in-the-pack light for occasional use, and I might install an L91 cell in mine to save a little bit of weight.
Do you think you might review the Wurkkos HD10? I've been intrigued by that for a while, as an SP10 Pro alternative. I still haven't fixed my Skilhunt E3A.
