Reddit reviews ThruNite TC15 2300 High Lumens Ultra-Bright Flashlight, USB Rechargeable LED Handheld Flashlights, CREE XHP 35 LED, Indoor/Outdoor (Camping, Security and Emergency Use) Cool White - Black CW

You'll get plenty far with $50! u/PnwStimm has a great suggestion with the Q8 - its about the best bang-for-your-buck light you can get. However, it won't come with the required 4 18650 li-ion cells you need, and that will bump its cost by at least $15-20.

A fairly new light to the scene is the ThruNite TC15, which blasts out an amazing 2300 lumens AND comes with a quality 18650 battery. It isn't an uber-tactical military flashlight, but it has a direct access shortcut to turbo which is something I really enjoy. The UI is very well set up.

If you think he would want to play cop and look the part, you could look into offerings from ArmyTek or Nitecore that look the part (I can help with that if you want to go this route).

So long as you don't laugh at the name, there is another option: my first "real" flashlight was a WOWTAC A1S BSS v2 and it kinda fits the bill - the (removable) strike bezel is absurd, it has a red light filter, and it has an interesting driver that can be controlled from both the e-switch on the side and the tail switch (for normal or "tactical" use). Its served me pretty well, and the 1050 lumens it puts out is absolutely no joke.

EDIT TO ADD: /u/parametrek has an insanely handy website for finding a wide variety of flashlights within specific parameters. Here is a custom search for flashlights/weaponlights under $50 with over 700 lumens (which in my head is pretty farking bright). You may want to dig through these and see if there's anything that catches your eye!

400? For just $50, you can get a pocket clip capable 2300 lumen ball busting badass of a flashlight

TruNite TC15 seems like a winner?

How about TC15? I do like their products. 18650 battery, rechargeable, 2300 lumen. Sale on https://www.amazon.com/ThruNite-TC15-Ultra-Bright-Rechargeable-Flashlight/dp/B07JCFY3N4/ref=sr\_1\_1?keywords=ThruNite+TC15&qid=1555307279&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Check out the Thrunite TC15. It’s a USB rechargeable LED flashlight that’ll last you for a while. It has a nice throw (distance the light can reach, ~245m), and it’s pocket sized so you can add it to your EDC.

If you have any other flashlight related questions, post them on r/flashlight! We’d love to answer your questions.

Also check out this review of the light, the OP did a great job.

How loose/tight-fitting is your clothing, and how much do your pockets show beneath your shirt? That's going to affect how large the light can be before you or others notice it. For some people and their style of dress, a light that runs on an 18650 battery wouldn't be noticeable, while others would need a AA or even AAA sized light.

AAA/10440 Lights

If you're interested in not having the light visibly print in your pocket at all, like I was in choosing an EDC, and your clothes are relatively slim fitting, you're probably going to want a AAA/10440 sized light (10440 is the lithium ion version of a AAA sized battery, and produces brighter output but less runtime than a typical AAA alkaline, NiMH, or lithium primary battery).

I went with the Folomov EDC C1. It's got a coated brass body, warm light, and very high CRI (meaning it helps show colors better than low CRI lights). It clips tightly inside the front pocket or coin pocket and takes up very little space. I've been very much enjoying mine without issue, though others have had quality control issues where the emitter burnt out or developed a dead spot, so unless those issues are sorted out, your mileage may vary.

If you want something in the AAA size specifically from Amazon, the Ultratac K18 would probably serve you quite well.

AA/14500 Lights

If you're willing to go up to AA/14500 sized light, the Thrunite Archer 1A V3 might be a good choice. Runs on either AA or 14500 battery. Has a sub-lumen firefly mode for preserving night vision, and goes up to 200 lumens with a AA battery. I don't know how much brighter it would be with a 14500 battery, but you can typically expect two to three times brighter, though with shorter run times. 200 lumens is typically enough for most tasks, though you might appreciate the extra brightness if you were looking around outdoors.

18650 Lights

If you're willing to go up to an 18650 sized light, the Thrunite TC15 would likely be a great choice. It gets incredibly bright for a 1x 18650 light, at up to 2300 lumens, but has well spaced lower modes for everyday use as well. It looks like currently only the cool white version is available on Amazon it. Most people, myself included, prefer neutral to warm white because it looks better, and produces less backscatter in particulates in the air.

I think a little more information about your intended use of the light and how you'd like to carry it would help us make good recommendations. Good luck on the search!

EDIT: Also, another user asked a good question about what you mean by "rechargeable." Do you mean that you just plug the light in without taking the battery out, or do you mean the battery is rechargeable and you can put it in a charger? There are plenty of excellent chargers at places like illumn.com that will open up a whole new realm of possibilities for flashlights, so the small up-front investment is usually worth it.

Gotta go with the Thrunite TC15 (assuming the current sale is still active)

Amazing! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the giveaway! Have used your search engine several times before, it is very useful so I must thank you for spending time on that too, massive props! The flashlight I'd love as my first decent one would be the Thrunite TC15 . I have been looking at an FW3A or DS4 but the options confuse me, so this would be a wonderful entry piece to the hobby! Thanks again

Thanks for being awesome!
