So I came here a little while ago asking for suggestions to replace my streamlight that I lost… As you can see, I have made some upgrades.

My primary use case is for search and rescue but I now have some nice EDC lights too!

Left to right:

Sofirn IF22A - Nice powerful thrower that doubles as a battery backup for my phone/GPS when on a callout.

Olight Warrior Mini 3 - My go-to multi purpose light, the tail switch is super handy and feels nice. I don’t care for the crenelated bezel but I wanted the throw over the more floody Baton.

Skilhunt M150 V3 - This lil guy lives in my pocket all the time now. This is the high CRI version and to my eyes is the nicest light for up close work. The moonlight mode is also the dimmest which is important to me. Nice build quality and UI as well.

Olight Perun 2 Mini NW - New light for my helmet, I haven’t tested it in the field yet but the beam is nice and it’s a big improvement over my old black diamond light on my helmet.

Olight iR2 Pro - not much to say on this one, it was the free gift with my other Olights, it lives on my keychain now, it’s pretty handy with the USB C charging and two modes.

Lumintop IYP365 - This is the light to replace my streamlight stylus. It lives on my chest pack and is primarily used for first aid. The low mode is low enough that I feel comfortable using it for checking pupil dilation. The included diffuser is handy too. I got the NiteCore MT06MD but I found it uncomfortably bright on the lowest setting, so I returned it in favour of the Lumintop.

I don’t know how it happened but somehow now I have two TS10s on the way… I must have blacked out or something.

Also I’ve been lusting after that emmisar D2. That’s on my list.
