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.
