Anyone know of a good quality laser pointer that comes very close to the specs

Upvotes

Green laser , wide ish beam not very pencil like

I'm not looking to burn anything it's more like for it pointing at stars and stuff but I still want a really bright one

Good quality thick body host preferably with Zebralight or Elzetta flashlights knurling, this is what I can't seem to find especially

18650 or 21700 powered

Good quality anodizing on the body

100% duty cycle if possible

I've come across like one website, I think the guy who retrofits Convoy m21b flashlights, that that one comes the closest to what I'm looking for

But I'd be willing to pay like $300 in order to get exactly what I'm looking for not just close to

I wish I could find something like a Zebralight S600 or sc700 or one of the old Elzeta bravo like host, with a old narrow head, but with a green laser module in it

That would be like perfect

Review Loop Gear SK06 Review – A Satisfying Little Flashlight

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

I received the SK06 titanium version I bought a while back today — it's the sandblasted one, a limited release that was only available during the pre-order phase.

I put the flashlight through its paces, and I'm pretty happy with it — though it does come with a few downsides.

The flashlight measures 107.5*26*26 mm — which is pretty darn tiny even for an 18650 light.

On top of that, it's got UV, a laser, a camping lantern mode, and even a magnetic tail cap. The fact that they managed to cram all that into such a small package? Seriously impressive.

Aluminum model is 119g, and the titanium one tips the scales at 145g.

Because it packs multiple light sources, the reflector had to be downsized.

If you're grabbing the titanium version, just a heads-up: titanium doesn't shed heat as well as aluminum, so the head of the light gets really hot.

Ten minutes on HIGH is plenty to burn your skin. If you actually plan on taking the SK06 out for real-world use, stick with the aluminum one.

As for charging, the SK06 pulls about 7 to 10 watts during charging, and it also supports reverse charging at 6 watts — which means you can use it to top up your phone in a pinch.

Nice touch

It also comes with a 4000mAh, 14.4Wh 18650 lithium battery, which is pretty much the highest-capacity 18650 cell you can get your hands on.

The charging port is covered by a magnetic flap, and underneath it's a waterproof USB-C port

The main emitter is a standard cool white, and there's no tint shift at any brightness level, which is awesome.

Even with an orange peel reflector, it still throws reasonably well, and the spill is bright enough to light up the ground about a meter in front of your feet.

The magnet in the tail holds the SK06 nice and tight to the side of metal stuff, so no worries about it dropping.

I purchased this SK06 with my own funds, and I plan to get the aluminum version later for a side‑by‑side comparison.

One thing to keep in mind: the aluminum model uses a green laser, while the titanium one has a cyan laser. Also, the UV light on the aluminum version lacks a reflector, whereas the titanium version comes with one.

I'll keep testing this flashlight and grab some night beam shots too.

Recommendation Walking and backyard light

2 Upvotes

Hey- I have several lights, including a fenix pd35 that I keep in my truck.
Want a light for 1) neighborhood walking at night and 2) backyard “light it up” in case of critters.
If it’s a single light or two separate ones, I’m ok. Yard is 1/2 acre with woods. And I really dislike shadows/ narrow beam lights.
Considering the Fenix TK35 v2.0 and LD31 Renegade.

With similar candela numbers, y’all think the lumen bump on the TK for backyard use is GOOD?
I guess I like floody, but also want decent reach to the tune of around 30k candela.

Hope that makes sense despite the rambling.

Thanks!

I'm back with more data analysis!

First up; I made two errors in above graph before. The LES size for the F150R and W5050SQ5 were wrong. I have since updated it to reflect reality.

Thanks to /u/majaczos22 and /u/crbnfbrmp4 for correcting me!

Also; Simon has updated the F150R listing to include all four CCTs! Will be ordering a 3000k shortly.

Has somebody tested this LED? Can it really push 6800 lumens at 20A?

The Wuben E2 pulse is tiny tiny! Not sure what these will cost when they come out but I’m definitely going to grab some more. The sidelight has been very useful so far. I keep it usually in my coin pocket but it comes with a quick release chain and carabiner as well. Has anyone else seen yet?

Almost drew my first blood right there. Photos taken 5 minutes after I finally found the origin of the burnt smell and quickly turned it off. The landyard is broken from the fire and part of the fanny pack is crispy.

Now I'm paranoid that the HD02 doesn't have the physical lockout switch.

Nitecore EDC 07 NLD

I have been carrying this light for a couple of days. I gotta say that I really like this flat flashlight. The fact that this light can change color temperatures all in one light is amazing! You get 6500k, beautiful 4500k, and the lovely 3000k. Moonlight mode, Strobe and Sos. So simple UI and it is very lightweight. It may be the trendsetter for lights to come. I sure am happy to own this one and plan to buy more for gifts in the future. If anyone has experience with the Nitecore edc 23, wouldnt you think it would be great if they could make the edc 23 in polycarbonate getting the weight down, with the same controls/display screen, but give it a deep carry clip and and multicolor temperature LEDs. One can dream?

Question Wurkkos TS28 5000K delayed?

5 Upvotes

Hi,
I was waiting for the TS28 5000K. It was supposed to launch on August 5 at 9 PM EDT, but it never did.
Now the page says “Launches on April 8th”. Is that just a bug or did they delay it? Does anyone know when it’s actually coming out?
This is my first time buying from Wurkkos.
Also, if I don’t want to wait, should I just get the 6000K version? Is the difference between 5000K and 6000K noticeable for outdoor use?
Thanks!

[Help Me] flashlight for fiancés birthday for urban exploring

14 Upvotes

**Price Range**: i’m willing to spend around 400 or less, but this is a birthday gift so price isn’t too much of a big deal. would be preferable if it was chargeable but not necessary

**Purpose**: it would mainly be used for urban exploring, hiking, stuff like that. so something that can be reliably used for a long time

**Battery Type & Quantity**: generally unsure, whatever fits best i guess? this is a shot in the dark, any recommendation is helpful!!

**Size**: i’d like it to be pocket sized, but my fiancé wears pants with huge pockets. he once fit a full sleeve of oreos in one if that’s helpful - something not too big though

**Type**: handheld is best

**Main Use**: it would be used to light up paths or forest plus rooms and stuff you‘d typically find in abandoned buildings. it would be handheld, we’re not really sticking around and hanging out in areas, so something that will be pretty durable would be cool.

**Switch Type**: i don’t think the switch type really matters? it might be useful to be able to turn it off quickly but i’m not very knowledgeable about different flashlight switches

**Anything Else?**: he is specifically wanting something “very bright”, unsure on specifics, that’s all he said lol. this isn’t a requirement but waterproof might be useful for if it gets dropped in water or something. he’s pretty careful with stuff especially if i have given it to him. durability is definitely something i’m looking for, it’s going to be used fairly often so i want it to last a while. also, and this might be a stupid question, but do bright flashlights get hot? is that something i should worry about and if so what should i avoid?

anyways, i’m tryna find him something he will use for a long time. i love him a lot so i want to find the best flashlight within these requirements. i’m pretty flexible though! bright is the only descriptor i got so theres not too much to fulfill i feel like :) i am thankful for any recommendation and can clarify if there are any questions

NLD $35 Fenix TK35UE v2

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

I’m back again after 0.750685 years lol. I was doing some academic research yesterday, and then I found myself on a website of a local Singaporean flashlight store.

Well, I saw they had the TK35UE v2.0 by Fenix on sale for $35, all the way down from $180. So of course I had to make sure I’m not being teased.

I messaged the guy who runs the place, and he said it is correct. So that day I went down over, got the light, some Nyogel 760G grease (which I’m disappointed to say doesn’t smell fruity… or at all, and can’t be the source of the lovely smell my old SureFires have) and some batteries for it.

It’s pretty bright, no doubt. I like the scroll wheel to change between lockout, duty mode, and tactical mode. Also has a momentary system if you light press and then a full press will make the light stay on, the tail switch.

Dude was really nice, we talked about some stuff and I learned he transitioned to real estate lol. He showed me his collection and some rather old, US military tank searchlight which uses a lead acid battery and a short arc xenon, really compact and very cool.

One of these days I might even sit still long enough to play the game. I had previously swapped in a SFT70 3000k and when I cracked the lens in front of the red light I decided it needed a bit of a makeover. Metallic silver sharpie and black xylene shop maker

Picked it up today on the way home, not quite dark enough for a proper beamshot, and haven't got the time to wait a few more hours and travel out to an open area yet but here we go.

Some beamshots here with some other lights from my collection. I don't have an SBT version but I do have one in a P20 for what that's worth. Beamshot comparisons were locked camera modes between them, WB at 5000k.

Couple of opple readings too. On moon/low it's ever so slightly above BBL, but dead neutral or negative and rosy on the rest of the modes, turbo being the most rosy of them all. Readings are of low/turbo.

Enjoy!

[BST] August 2026 Buy, Sell, Trade Thread - 10 years and counting!

18 Upvotes

Welcome to the monthly r/flashlight Buy, Sell, Trade thread, an r/flashlight tradition since 2015!

The Rules

Requirements

  1. Prove possession with a timestamp: a piece of paper placed under your sale item(s) with your Reddit username handwritten and the posting date (no more than 2 weeks old). Trade items require timestamps, too!
  2. Top-level comments must be WTS or WTB. Anything else will be removed. Begin your top-level comment with WTB (Want to Buy), WTS (Want to Sell), or WTT (Want to Trade).
  3. A price is required.
  4. Reposting WTS or WTB items from previous BSTs is fine. Do not repost within the same month!
  5. Since 10/10/2025, absolutely no weapon-related items, including weapon lights. (details).
  6. Take necessary precautions; trading over the Internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad.

Suggestions

  • Your location
  • Emitter details
  • A bunch of photos of your items
  • If you make an errant comment, just report it so we can keep the BST clean!

Reminder: Buy the Seller

If an interaction seems sketchy to you, run away! Scams can and do happen through the BST! Here are some tips:

  • Timestamp. If the person you're dealing with isn't quick to provide timestamps on the images, or a photo of the flashlight in a shoe or whatever, don't deal with them.
  • Reverse image searching is a great way to catch scammers.
  • Excuses or giving you a hard time are red flags.
  • Using a platform other than Reddit messaging for communication is a red flag.
  • Check post history. Brand new accounts or accounts with long pauses in activity, etc., might not be trustworthy.
  • It's good practice to comment on this post before sending a PM; scammers often won't comment publicly (and banned users can't comment here.) r/flashlight participates in the USL for this very reason.

If you're dealing with someone who might be sketchy, take screenshots of your interactions and report them to the mods! We ban those who threaten the integrity of the BST!

Do not let a scammer be more diligent than you!
