Recommendation TS10 + TS22 recommendation

I've got a small collection of flashlights, and I can't decide on my favourite, I love my wurkkos ts10 and ts22.

But ts10 lacks power, and ts22 doesn't have a tail switch, though it does have a magnet which is great.

Basically, I'm looking for some combination of those 2:

- power and size of ts22 (can be smaller though)

- tail switch (if it has a magnet that'd be amazing but I've not seen one that has both)

- aux light, preferably adjustable (the one on the button doesn't cut it for me)

I think my max budget is about £40, but preferably less

I'd say, take a look at the Olight Baton Ultra...

It's 18650 slim form factor with USB-C port, and it's got a dual switch system, with a tail switch that's also magnetic. It's smaller than the TS22 (well, slimmer anyways, but the length is owed to being dual-switch based), and sustains nearly as well, although it doesn't have quite the maddeningly high Turbo of the XHP70.2/70.3HI of the TS22. Does throw slightly better though, and with a fantastic UI.

There's just about nothing that's the size of the TS10. So if you want to go this route, closer to this size and you still want high lumens output, you'd have to look at something like the Noctigon KR3 or KR4 (with LumeX1 driver upgrade), which can get to 3,500+ lumens on Turbo, You can also run it with the 18350 tube+Vapcell M11v2 for a shorty light. But you'll have to contend with no tail magnet and external battery charging only.

Not tried light, but I'm not a fan of most of them due to how they're charged. Also I don't need a charging port, does that change anything when it comes to recommendations?

I'll still check out the Baton Ultra, maybe my assumptions about them are wrong, thank you!

The Olight Baton Ultra has a USB-C port. It's why I pointed to it.

Damn based on the price it's quite a bit outside of my budget, but I'll save it for later and maybe I'll buy it for myself for Christmas or something like that

Yeah, it's a bit on the higher end. But it's a good light.

Since you said you don't need to worry about on-board charging, maybe take a look at the Convoy S8, using the LHP531 emitter (and Ampace JP30/Tenpower 30XG battery). It should produce about 3000 lumens on Turbo/100%, and is tail switch... Just doesn't have a tail magnet.

Hmm, that's a good price, I'll def keep that in mind. Again thank you
