      @FLASHAHOLIC, ...hey man, I have been watching a lot of your videos, ...keep up the good work!
      ...I have been looking around for a little while now, for a flashlight that has a very particular set of features, ...i'm kind of new to this hobby, ...and this whole market is kind of complicated out there, ...because there's a lot of places, and brands to search, and sift through...
      ...so, I figured that I should just stop making this hard on myself, ...and stop wasting any more of my time, ...and to just go on ahead and ask you, ...because you seem to know alot about all of these flashlights, ...a whole hell of a lot more than pretty much anybody else that I have seen out there so far, ...especially by the way that you test them all out in the same manner, because you always stick to that same format for all of your videos, ...because you know that consistency when testing, is the most important thing!!!
      ...and so, ...anyway, ...here is my question:
      ...what is, in your expert opinion, (if it even exists) ...would be the best, and highest quality, flashlight out there, ...that would have all, (or as many as possible) ...all of the following features, ...all contained within just one, compact, EDC flashlight?
      1.
      ...has the ability to function on Nichia, high emitters...
      2.
      ...has the ability to be able to run on the Anduril2 software, ...and use both the simple, and the Advanced UI interface...
      3.
      ...has the ability to be able to easilly update the Anduril2 firmware, with an easily accessible, built-in USB port connection, ...preferably, USB-C...
      4.
      ...has the ability to be able to charge with an easily accessible, built-in charging port, ...preferably, USB-C, ...and, has a High quality, removable battery, ...and, has a battery that's also included with the flashlight...
      5.
      ...has the broadest range of built-in, customizable, different colors, of the whole spectrum? ...for example, it could produce the full spectrum of RGB, violet, purple, ultraviolet, and pretty much, have the capability to produce the full rainbow of all colors...
      6.
      ...has the ability to be able to adjust, alter, and calibrate the white balance, as well as the color temperature, ...each gradually, and completely independent, covering the entire kelvin color spectrum wavelength...
      7.
      ...has the ability to be able to adjust the brightness, intensity, and lumens of each separate RGB, color, hue, and color temperature, all independently, ...all nice, and even, on a gradual, and smooth scale...
      8.
      ...has the ability to be able to combine all of the different features mentioned above, ...all together, ...all simultaneously, ...and, all at once, ...because, this will grant the user an opportunity to instantly have access to a vast array of a complete arsenal, of limitless, unique, and infinite combinations of RGB, violet, purple, ultraviolet, a complete rainbow of colors, ...as well as, independent white balance, color temperature, and the kelvin color spectrum, ...all combined with independent brightness, intensity, and lumens adjustment capabilities, ...would make the total number of all the possible different visual options, ...seemingly endless!

    Жаль что мне этот обзор не попался до покупки фонаря. Я хотел Convoy S11, но никак не мог найти его характеристики. Той информации, что опубликована у продавцов, мало. Купил Sofirn C8G, но продолжал мечтать о Convoy S11. Сейчас посмотрел видео и понял, что я сделал правильный выбор, купив Sofirn C8G.
    Спасибо 🙏 огромное за обзоры, благодаря Вам я купил Mateminco G02 (у Вас есть обзор Astrolux HL02, они одинаковы). Довольно долго хотел купить CyanSky HS6R (опять же - благодаря Вашему обзору), но всё-таки передумал.
    В принципе у меня и без того много фонарей, одних только велосипедных фар купил более 30 штук. И вот среди них лучшую не нашёл. Использую ту, которую купил лет 5 назад.
    Ваши обзоры очень нравятся, и из-за того, что фонари сравниваются с другими фонарями, а также показаны одни и те же места, где происходит сравнение фонарей, эти обзоры очень ценны.
    Спасибо 🙏

    Man i like it, is in the throwing side, but not in the extreme throwing side. I thing is one of the most suitable flashlights for me, because i am a fun of the the thrower flashlights, but not the extreme throwing. Very good option. Not that the other flashlights in the video are bad, not at all bad, it's clearly a matter of taste, or you can have many different flashlights and everytime you choose what you like or what you need.

      The Convoy and the Sofirn are almost the same price as long as you don't buy the Sofirn at Amazon. I bought mine for instance with a 21700 battery for around $25 shipped. That said, I also have the Convoy S11 (I think I might have too many flashlights...) and it does definitely make for a better walking light. The C8G is not really meant for that. I use mine for searching the woods from my deck.

      Хочется конкретики больше. Стабилизация точно была на старых версиях с xhp35.
      Как здесь, с сст40 непонятно. Люменик измерений ещё не делал. Какой по Вашему получше есть у Софирна именно с дальнобоя? Или вы флудеры (заливники) на 3 диодах считаете получше?
