I recently got the Wurkkos TS11, its a great little thrower, and beautiful in orange. The spot is just right, not too narrow, and a little bit of useful spill around it too. While the battery it comes with is OK, it is noticeably more powerful when I use it with the 18650 extension tube and a 2500mAh 18A capable battery. I might get a more powerful 18350 for it when I order batteries next time.

I'm in love with my EDC light, the Nitcore P23i. 3000lm, 55000cd, great UI with instant access to strobe and turbo, glass cracker lense ring, and the build quality feels like you could run over it with a tank.
Convoy S6 KW CSLNM1.TG. You can buy the pocket clip separately and get an 18350 tube if you want. It has a deeper reflector than the S2+.
This is very compact. How wide is the beam?
This s6 config is awesome value and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, especially running in 18350 mode.
Found this beamshot on the other site but I can also say from personal experience that theres a nicely defined hotspot for a tube light.

How about Mankerlight MC13 II with SBT90.2 ($110 USD) emitter or sft40 ($65)?

It’s a larger 18350 light that twists open to 18650. The TIR is similar to Thrunite Catapult v1 and possibly Wurkkos ts11.
.
A 21700 tube was also released as part of a bundle or here: https://www.killzoneflashlights.com/products/manker-21700-tube-for-mc13-ii-e14-iv.
I don’t have this light but it seems like OK value for the higher price (for very short bursts of throw, not sustained).
I also still like the older Thrunite catapult v1 which preceded Wurkkos’s ts11. It has reasonable output and good runtime for its size, but ts11 can be found for cheaper and has anduril and aux with a possibly slightly worse driver.
That looks really good. Like a shorter MC12 II. I know Manker makes some good lights. I hope to one day get that sweet MK38!
