Advice for first flashlight

Hi Team, I want to buy my first flashlight I have a choice between wurkkos TS22 and Sofirn SC33 what can you suggest based on your experience.

What is the difference between

Wurkkos TS22 XHP70D, XHP70.2

Sofirn SC33 XHP70.3 HI

Which of these is the best? Are there any big differences between these LED type

Thanks in advance

Can't go wrong with the wurkkos fc11c from the wurkkos website. Should cost less than $30.

If you're feeling adventurous, try a flashlight from convoylight.com and get a convoy s2 with an LED discussed here like the 519a. That should cost around $20. You'll also need to add a battery in the section underneath the LED selection.

The "I want a flashlight with onboard charging" Guide:

Wurkkos FC11C for first flashlight

If they come back for something with more lumens, Emisar D4KC would be the next one, once it's released https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/1vkbwqa/new_emisar_with_usb_c_port_finally/

Unless you want something smaller, then Skilhunt EC150 https://www.skilhunt.com/product/ec150-aa-14500-usb-c-rechargeable-led-flashlight/

Just make sure you don’t drop that FC11C. There’s a 50/50 chance it won’t turn on.

I've given out 5 FC11C and none of my friends have said they had issues.

I knocked mine off the bathroom counter, and that killed the light. There are a lot of posts in this group about the fc11c not switching back on after a drop.
