A pocket titanium EDC flashlight with a Cree XPG2 LED, three modes and an IPX6 rating — runs on AAA batteries, no charging needed.
Best for
Someone who wants a tough, pocketable titanium flashlight that runs on swappable AAA batteries instead of a built-in cell.
Overview
The R8 is Wautton’s compact take on an everyday-carry light: an aerospace-grade titanium body, a Cree XPG2 LED and a detachable pocket clip in a 123mm shell. It runs three modes — Turbo and Low both hit 200 lumens with about 100 metres of throw, while High settles at 90 lumens for a longer 6-hour runtime. It’s rated IPX6 for rain, survives a 1.5m drop, and runs on two AAA batteries rather than a built-in cell, so you top it up by swapping cells anywhere instead of hunting for a cable. It’s the pick if you want a tough titanium light you can keep running on shop-bought batteries — and right now it’s on sale.
