Arbitrary List of Popular Lights - Spring Equinox 2024 Edition
In honor of Spring Equinox, I've made an updated list of popular lights. The sun may be returning, but you still might need a flashlight.

Changes aren't huge this time around:
Remove SC32 (high-CRI option discontinued)
Remove SP31 v2 (discontinued)
Remove Zebralight H53c N (overpriced)
Add H200 and H200 Mini
Acebeam L35 becomes 2.0
Wurkkos TS10 becomes 2.0
E70 (21700) removed (high-CRI option discontinued, and the low-CRI version isn't that special)
I notice that the use of Anduril in the Sofirn SP36 isn't mentioned in its blurb. I didn't go through the whole list to check for other such omissions. But it's an important feature for some of us, so it would be great if it was always mentioned when applicable, especially in the enthusiast section.
I like the LT1 Mini and think it deserves mention, maybe in place of one of the other LT1 series. Someone told me that it's similar to another Sofirn model that's in a more traditional flashlight configuration. Anyone know which that is? 1x21700, Anduril 2 with UPDI flash pads, USB-C charging, power bank function, high CRI 4000K would be great. Don't really care about huge max lumens. Alternative suggestions based on the above would also be of interest.
@solrize There are two entries for the SP36. The first one is meant for an audience that wouldn't know what Anduril is; the second does mention it.
The LT1 Mini looks like it pulls from the Sofirn parts bin, but isn't just one light. Much of the body comes from the IF22A, but the tailcap looks like the IF25A, the diffuser is on the SC03, and I think the button cover is from the LT1.
