The FC11C is arguably the best pocket flashlight under $40. This is even better than the last deal at $20. Repped OP. If you want to own one flashlight and don't want to spend $80+, this is it.

It's a huge step above the sea of Chinese pocket flashlights you find at any US retailer. IMO it's better than any other flashlight under $40, even from good companies like Sofirn and Wurkkos.

Several reasons. First, the buck converter.
Most flashlights get dimmer as the battery runs out...to the point that they put out less than 1/4 of the light it did at full charge. The converter keeps the light output stable as the battery runs down, so you don't feel like you need to constantly charge it to get full brightness. The buck converter is also more efficient, so you get more light for longer off the same battery charge. (Boost converters do the same thing, but for LEDs that need a high voltage. The result for you, the user, is the same.)

Second, the charge indicator. You can tell right away, when you turn it on, whether it's getting low on charge or not. Many cheap flashlights just stop working. Many others just flash a couple times, about two minutes before they stop working. On this one, you still have over an hour left on medium when the button goes red. This means you don't have to charge it every day to keep it from going out on you.

Last, the high CRI LED. If a flashlight doesn't mention tint or CRI, it's low CRI and 6K+ tint, which makes everything look bluish and washed out. If they just say "warm white" it's usually 3000K, which is yellowish. The 519A in this flashlight has great color rendering, and comes in two usable tints, 4K and 5K that both look natural and let you distinguish colors well.

The only other choice I like under $40 is the Wurkkos TS22 with the High CRI LED, which is basically the same flashlight, but bigger and brighter with a 21700 battery. Right now it's $37, but unless you need the extra battery life I don't think it's worth two FC11Cs.


You will see a flag on the navigation bar at the top, towards the right, with a little dropdown arrow next to it. If the language is not English the flag will be from some other country. Click the flag.

If you can't understand the language it's stuck in, the top set of options on the dropdown menu are "Ship To:" with the first line being "Country". The second major option is "Language", which you obviously want to change to English first. The third major option is "Currency", which usually autoadjusts when you set your country. The black button at the bottom is "Save", which you should click after you fix the other options.

Yes, the AX website is bad at autodetecting your country. I don't know why.

Hope this helps!

Great flashlight. Totally worth the hype. I like the 4k version for camping, it has excellent CRI. 5k will appear "brighter" if that's your preference.

Great light if legit. I somehow got sent to their Spanish language site and it was 16.09 with FS but a mysterious "additional charge" of 1.15 Anyway, looked a bit shaky so I bailed.

Had 2 of the FC11 version of these before and both went bad. They just simply won't turn on after a while even with freshly charged battery. Stick with Sofirn for cheap reliable lights. Don't recommend Wurkkos.

Same here. I have never ordered from Ali because the web pages are always in a foreign language.

Ordered a pair of 4000k lights during a recent sale and one turned out to be 5000k so be aware that you may not actually get what you order.

I'm surprised by these comments because I've had great experiences with Wurkkos. I ordered 4 flashlights and a couple extra components for swapping stuff around. One of the drivers was bad, so the owner shipped me out a replacement right away.

I have one of these, and its a nice bright light - HOWEVER - the tiny button is really difficult to find in the dark - you know, when you need a flashlight. And it's basically impossible to find in the dark, while wearing gloves.

All I can say is every time an Ali link here is clicked, I go to a foreign language by default, and it is the only storefront I am taken to from Slick Deals that ever does this.
