Pros

  • Get a wurkkos TD05 or a Sofirn SR12 instead as a FC11 replacement. Both come with buck driver and throwy LEDs
  • Sofirn SR12. Comes with a 18650 battery, on board USB charging, SFT25R LED for nice throw for seeing the house number from your car. Buck driver for consistent light output and good run times. Small and compact so it's easy to keep in yo...
  • Sofirn sr12 a good cheap option.
  • I bought mine a bunch Sofirn SR12 in a flash sale a few months back ready for Christmas. I figure they're a great bit of useless throwing fun.
  • Or stay a little bit bigger with a 18650 size light: For example Sofirn SR12 or Wurkkos FC11C.

Cons

  • Its a nicely designed light and i like the extra mode it has, but it seems like a sister light to the fc11c and suffers the same two problems, mode changing is so slow and turbo is nearly non existent.

Sofirn SR12. Comes with a 18650 battery, on board USB charging, SFT25R LED for nice throw for seeing the house number from your car. Buck driver for consistent light output and good run times. Small and compact so it's easy to keep in your pocket or the cup holder in your car. On sale right now for $20.99 so it won't break the bank. I have two of them. It's an awesome flashlight.

Other than that, it's a great compact light. ... I have modded it with a TIR like in SC18/WK03/SP31V3 and find the beam now more versatile and still throwy enough. But the CCT is a bit of a downside.

I really like the way this light is put together. It's simple, functional, and definitely conveys a sense of sturdiness. ... I've had a good time using the SR12 for the past week, and really enjoy the simple UI along with the nice mix of throw and flood.

I absolutely love my new SR12. It has immediately become one of my favorites.

I haven't seen the SR12 before, but seems like a great option to fill a similar role for people without breaking the bank.
