18650 Flashlight reviews (and 20700/21700)

Single 18650 flashlights

There are tons of 18650 on the market, from extremely cheap to extremely expensive.
A few of my flashlights I reviewed and can be found below, ordered by name. The list also included 20700 and 21700 flashlights.

Astrolux S43

The Astrolux S43 runs of 18650 and 18350 batteries. Having 4*XP-G3 Leds, it is able to produce 2000+ lumens.

Astrolux FT01

The Astrolux FT01 runs off 21700 batteries, but with the included battery adapter it also accepts 18650 batteries, although it is not necessary to use while using 18650 batteries.

Astrolux FT02

A great thrower! With a light intensity of 180kcd! And doing this with only 1 battery, in stock format!

BLF GT Mini

Take a look at the BLF GT Mini thrower. A thrower that fits in your pocket but passes the 100kcd with ease. A small little pocket monster.

Jetbeam RRT 21

One of the most beautifully machined flashlights out there, imho. It's a bit dated (2014) as of today, but I just wanted to share the extensive review I had done on this light back then.

Jetbeam TH20

Another solid 2018 flashlight with a XHP 70.2 LED running off only 1 battery and touching the 3000 lumens! It has an interesting UI so to say...

Zebralight SC700d

The first 21700 flashlight Zebralight has put on the market, and with great succes. Wow, this is a performer and also good looking. This is a 2019 model.

Multi 18650 flashlights

A few years back it all started for me with the famous SkyRay King and Supfire M6!
Budget multi-cell, multi-led flashlights.
Throwing about 2000 lumens out the front with CREE XML leds, which at that point was quite extraordinary.
These days, the multi-cell 18650 flashlights have become really really powerful.

Acebeam K40M MT-G2 (3x18650)

A very famous flashlight from the past. I think it was first released in 2014. I still like it a lot, although it's 'only 3000 lumens'.

ACEBEAM K65 XHP70.2 DE-DOMED (4X18650)

One of the greatest all-round flashlights of 2018. 6200 Lumens and almost 1Km throw. This is a 2017/2018 model.

Astrolux MF04 XHP35 / Mateminco MT35 Plus

XHP35 Hi (4*18650) Another super thrower, that reaches about 2km/1.2miles. It is also sold under a different name, Mateminco MT35 Plus. The farthest thrower of 2018.

Astrolux MF04s XHP70.2

XHP70.2 LED (4*18650) Another superb thrower and semi-flooder that can reach up to 1.5KM. The bigger brother of the original MF04.

BLF GT (GIGA THROWER) LUMINTOP

Review of the farthest throwing LED flashlight of Q1 2018. Monster search light. Works on 4 and 8*18650 cells.

BLF Q8 (BUDGET POWER HOUSE)

About 5000 lumens for $50. Works on 1,2,3 and 4*18650 cells. A 2017 flashlight but still very very popular. It won't break the bank.

Fireflies ROT66

5000+ Lumens for the Tint snobs. Sporting 9 pieces of Japanese Hi CRI Nichia 219B R9080 LEDs. This is probably one of the more interesting flashlights of 2018.
