How does this compare to the Nebo Larry 8 LED flashlight? Which do you prefer?

I have both lights and they both are excellent lights. The Larry is a flood light, and the Dorcy is a spotlight. The Larry is good for things like working under the sink. The Dorcy is good for things like walking outside at night. The Dorcy is the smallest most powerful flashlight I have ever seen, it has incredible distance.

I've honestly never looked in to the Nebo, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the Dorcy in without even second guessing. I'm low-vision (legally blind) and this flashlight was the answer I've been looking for for the past 7-8 years. If it makes it so that I can see, I PROMISE you that it's worth every penny. I bought 2 then turned right around and purchased 2 more when I saw how bright they were. Sorry I couldn't compare the two for you, but I'll never buy another flashlight other than this one ever again as long as they're available.

The defender is basically the single output version of the same light. So it is a matter of your preference in terms of what you need and prefer. I own both and personally prefer the single output.

Pretty vague question. Dissapointed that I even got an email notification about this, furthermore that I am even taking time to answer it. But I'd say if you were just trying to get into 'crannies' then a regular hand held flashlight would work. If you are getting into 'nooks' also, then this headlamp is a must. Will take you to the next level. Maybe buy 3. And attach them to the same belt and point towards the sides. For good panoramic exploration.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

I think the Olight is really bezel heavy and I don't think it's as bright as they advertise. Also, there is not as much spill so it's more of a search light because it has more throw. I don't have this model of the NiteCore but my other NiteCore lights seem exceptionally bright and well made. Although, overall I think Olight is the better brand.

Obviously 420 lumens is brighter than 300 . Other than costing more, I would say brighter is better. Maybe it drains the battery a little faster. The Cygolite website should have the specs on this. Also, you don't always have to use it at full power. There are a few settings, but I always use Steady Pulse, which is 300 lumens PLUS a flashing light, for maximum visibility.

I send the DW7881 back for credit. In its place I'm using free standing Bedside LED flex neck lamp (google it). It works great, and it stays focused where I point it, unlike the DW7881 (talk about junk!).

I would google reviews on streamlights vs. Aimsports ( and ncstar, same design) before making a choice. You will see most people choose streamlight or surefire in the long run. Streamlight is a little cheaper than surefire though and equal in quality. Streamlight is pure quality but Surefire is made to be bullet proof almost but their prices reflect that as well. Surefire is best but streamlight is the only other option you can count on when its mounted to a gun. At least in my experiences.

Hi, the maglite xl100 is 83 lumes the xl200 is 173 lumes so if you are looking for a brighter light xl200 would be better the controls are the same I like the controls but they will be hard to use unless you use it a lot for a tactical you need speed the xl50 or better has less controls look for some thing for speed I like the maglites because they use standard batteries you don't want to fuss with controls in a situation.

Everybody has answered your question so I can only say this is one great flashlight! Small and bright like the sun though you do need the 18650 batteries. I went with the more expensive Panosonic, but great battery life.

I gave this one to my son but I believe it cycles thru.The ulrafire WF-501B is almost as bright not focusable has a nice broad beam and is smaller always resets to hi. It is sold by Amazon as well. Both are very good lights for the price

This Flashlight uses the 18650 lithium cell and is larger than the one that uses AA cell but looks similar. About 4x brighter. Get the combo w/ cells and charger.

I am sorry but I truly have no idea. I know it is the brightest flashlight I have ever owned and I do let everyone know it is worth the money. sorry I could not help with this question.

I haven't dropped any of my Thrunite flashlights so I can't respond on the dropping issue. I have 3 of the Thrunites and the tn35 is by far the best and the brightest ! My tn30 mini is rated at 3200 lumens and my tn35 is brighter. According to reviews, the Thrunites are pretty accurate on their lumens ratings

Yes it does, and matter of fact probably better because it's a newer model! Love this flashlight!! Why spend $100+ on a Surefire flashlight, when NEBO makes flashlights just as good, possibly even better!!
