Way more flashlights on the market than I could possibly test out – but here are a couple of my favorites, the Streamlight HL-X and the Thrunite TN36. The HL-X is a great (a little larger than I prefer) EDC light for when you need good power and lots of candela to push through. The Thrunite TN36 is just a powerhouse of a light that will give you a wall of light and basically turn night into day. The Thrunite C2 is just a handy device that will charge your cellphone and also give you a backup 18650 for whatever device might need it.

  1. Some of these new 18650 FL require to use their own battery that offer High Discharge rate.
    I have a bunch of 3000mAh 18650 batteries that came with my other average lights, which I'm sure they're not high discharge battery.
    My question is, does this FL require Streamlight's own 18650 battery to reach to 1000 Lumens or can I use my own and still get to 1000 Lm?

    Thanks!

  2. Next time you talk to Thrunite, please tell them they should make a new C2 (C3?) with a USB Type C port. Also supporting USB PD would be even better! I would love to see a version that takes two 18650s even.

  3. Great vid, I’ve had the the baton S1R as a primary for about a year or so. Reliability and efficiency is across the board in everything I’ve put it through. The only love/hate factor has been the length. Great at getting lost in the pocket and reducing bulk, but lacking in a full grip. Had a chance to check out the Olight M2R yet? I’ll be swapping over soon, but I’m think the addition of length and tail switch may satisfy my edc for a while. Keep up the awesome feed bud, and loving all the vehicle/truck carry/camping gear and reviews.

  4. Love your flashlight videos (and your videos in general). I EDC the thrunite C2 with a little USB cable in the sheath that comes with it and I love it. Its nice to charge my phone when I don't have a place to charge it and with my BLF A6 ($25, 18650, 1400-1600 lumen, unknown candela and lux). I've been wanting to pick up the HL-X Railmount for a while for my SBR as-well as the standard HL-X, but I'm not sure how that and my BLF A6 would compare (different reflector and larger head on the HL-X). My BLF A6 I use pretty much every day during my work and when my old black dog decides not to come in at night (13 acres in the middle of nowhere). I'd love to rock the TN36 though, but I can't see myself dropping that much cash on it.

  5. I carry the HLX on duty, its an awesome light! I carry it with a 18650 and then I have a back up in my lunch box…havent needed the back up yet! I take the 18650 out every couple shifts and top it off just to be sure since I primarily work night shifts lol

  6. I own Maglights, both LED and incandescent bulbs, and I love them, but I have to keep adding and adding stuff to my duty belt so my 2-4 D cell Maglights have become a bit of a bother to carry. I bought the Streamlight HL-X because I needed something with high lumens, but small enough to save space on my duty belt or by having it in a pocket, since I work a lot at night and usually deep in the mountains and I absolutely love it. It's well constructed, the clip is so handy, I like the programmable modes, and the best part is that I always have an 18650 battery laying around since I have lots of vapes. I also use the HL-X as an edc light since it's actually not that big and when you clip it in your pocket you forgot it's even there. I highly recommend the HL-X. I'm definitely going to check out the TN36 because that thing is a beast!

    Flashlights get me excited too…
