iPhone FLASHLIGHT Review (iPhone 11 + XR)
The iPhone camera flash is one of the most popular flashlights ever made, and is all that some people use as an EDC. The tech is pretty impressive, but just how good is it as a flashlight?
To my knowledge, nobody has done a detailed review of the flashlights found on these phones. I measured the output, color, and intensity of these lights. This video features both the iPhone 11 and the iPhone XR. These are not the newest, flashiest phones anymore, but it's all I had. This video was mostly for fun, so I hope you enjoyed.

A MIL
a-mile-of-light-thrunite-tn42-v2-review
The insane TN42V2 by Thrunite can throw light for over a mile - and might be a serious upgrade worth considering for owners of the Catapult V6 (or even the original TN42)
Right now you can get the light with a 30% from Thrunite's own webstore:
https://thrunite.com/tn42-v2/
Thrunite did send me this light for review, and you may have even watched this video already if you are subscribed to the official Thrunite YouTube channel. While they did send this light to me, I am not affiliated with them, and this is my honest opinion of their product. I am however biased, as I do love Thrunite, so take that for what it's worth.
If you enjoyed this review, then please consider liking and subscribing, it would really help out the channel!

THRUN
thrunite-archer-2a-v3-in-depth-review
Thrunite's Archer 2A V3 flashlight takes 2 AAs and is one of their most popular models, offering good performance at an affordable price. It can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H1P6L4T?psc=1
This light was sent to me by Thrunite, but that does not affect my review in any way. It just so happens that I was already planning on reviewing this one, and that I really like it.
This is a double-AA flashlight, and Thrunite claims that it is one of their best-sellers on Amazon, which makes sense, considering how it is both inexpensive and really well-made. I hope you enjoy this review.
If you have any questions or suggestions for me, please leave them down in the comments below, I'll do my best to address them. If you liked this review, then please leave a like and subscribe to my channel, I would really appreciate it.

THRUN
thrunite-bss-v4-tacticool-review
Thrunite is now making Wowtac's BSS V4, this time with some updates.
The BSS V4 is a tactical style, rechargeable 18650 flashlight with some useful EDC/general purpose features and a very high output. I enjoyed this light and I think it has some neat features, but it's lacking in a couple areas. I would recommend it to most people, but it's just asking to be modded and improved.
You can purchase this light here: https://www.amazon.com/ThruNite-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Detachable/dp/B08LK49H7R

FUTUR
futuristic-edc-flashlight!-acebeam-e70
The Acebeam E70 is a powerful 21700 flashlight putting out over 4,000 lumens. It uses a rear E-switch and has an interesting interface that prevents acivation in a pocket.
You can purchase the light here:
http://www.acebeam.com/?affiliate=luxwad
(This is an affiliate link, using this will help suport the channel. All opinions and test results shown in this review are my own, I doubt this link will do anything for me anyways but you can feel free to assume I'm biased if you want)
This is the E70-AL or aluminum version, this light does come in several other materials, copper, titanium and stainless steel. I recommend the Aluminum or copper for their thermal performance, but I haven't actually used the other versions of the light.

THIS
this-flashlight-is-still-awesome
Nitecore's EC4GT may be an older light, but it is still one of the best flashlights they have ever made, at least in my opinion. This video is a detailed review of the Limited edition model of the EC4GT (which is functionally identical to the standard version).
I've already reviewed this flashlight, but my old review wasn't very good, and I really like this light, so I decided I would review it again, hopefully it's a little better this time around. While the light is a bit older, I think it still holds up very well today.
I hope you guys enjoyed the review, if you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments below!
Unfortunately, Nitecore has discontinued this light and replaced it with the EC4GTS. If you want the original, there are a couple of sites that may still have it:

DOES
does-high-cri-improve-this-flashlight
High-CRI LEDs look a whole lot better than their low-accuracy counterparts, but that comes at the expense of some performance. The Acebeam E70 now comes with an option for the high-CRI GT-FC40 LED, which has better color than the standard Cree XHP70.2, but it's less bright and has lower runtimes. Is it a worthwhile tradeoff?
This flashlight is available for purchase here:
https://www.acebeam.com/e70-al
Acebeam provided this light at a discount for me to review. All opinions and measurements shown here are my own.
Note that I do not have the equipmet to do a proper spectral comparison of the two LEDs, so this is mainly a review and comparison of the two lights from a more practical standpoint.
