I'm really happy with my little Wurkkos fc11. Goes from quite faint to very bright, 18650 battery, usb-c port for charging, easy to use, IPX7 water protection, magnetic tailcap so you can easily attach it to all sorts of stuff. And at only ~€28 it's quite cheap.
The 2700k temp option is also very nice for a more cozy and not so harsh light.
Two questions, do you have the 519a version and if so how is it? My friend wants a decent light but doesn't wanna jump down the rabbit hole and it seems a good option for him. Secondly, have you tried removing the tailcap magnet? He doesn't want one but I read it can be removed.
I know I'm like, super late to this party, buuuut I have half a dozen of these.
The 519a is gorgeous, no complaints. Not as bright of course, but that's always the tradeoff.
I haven't tried removing the magnet, but they sell a non-magnetic version of the tailcap for cheap!
