Like the one feature which make or break it for you.
My priorities are .
1. USB C charging. Flashlights without charging will always be low on my list because i simply can't justify the hassle of removing battery, seperate charger and time wasted.
The Flashlight should always be a Complete unit for me.
Ip68 requirement:
IP68 is bare minimum. Ip66 will do in some rare cases like work headlamps but flashlights and keychains must always be ip68.No PWM
Never really cared much about cri, duv, temp etc. reliability is the priority for me.

Light modes
Removable batteries for charging suck.
However.
Having spares that aren’t a rechargeable (OE replacement) as a rechargeable option outside of the torch as spares for a long trip is a good thing.
My main priority is to be able to see whatever I’m pointing my light at. Onboard charging and battery level indicator are two other things I look for. Water resistance isn’t a big issue, since my lights rarely get wet.
I just have to like it to carry it. For example I just made my sofirn sc31pro into a stubby light. I don’t know why I never did that but I’m enjoying it so much! USB-C charging is nice because I can charge in the vehicle or at the office. I have a nice charger at home but not really using enough lights to need to charge multiple haha. Also portability, for example my nitecore tip 2 is always on my keys so I use that a lot. At night I’ve been carrying a small light.
