Handsome light but it wouldn't work for me. I want the pocket clip facing the opposite direction so I can clip it on the bill of my cap to free both hands. I know most aren't made that way but a few are and that's the first thing I look for. Its just me.

I've got lights I clip to the bill of my cap too, but they won't accept a 18650. I have headlamps that do if I need more power and longer runtime.
TRUE STORY! Surefire is great stuff but$$$$$$. Try Sunwayman, Nitecore, Thrunite. I was a flashlight geek long before ecigs.
Don't forget Fenix!!
TK35UE....."Super Torch"!!
Nitecore MT40 ain't too shabby, either!!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!
Convoy S series and C8 from FT makes some VERY good "budget" lights
My current EDC is a Convoy S5, w 8*7135 nanjg driver at 2.8A (I put custom firmware on the driver but stock is good as well) and T6-4C tint emitter

I have 2 Surefire's that weren't too expensive. FT has Sunwayman V10r for $40 (I paid $75 on sale). My 2nd favorite single cr123 batt light. I also like Olight and EagleTac.

Never been a fan of Fenix. I had a few and they all had quality issues. The only one I own now is the E01 and I never use that either
I do like the TK45 though.

I recently bought a Nitecore 18650 flashlight and I am loving it.. it has settings from 39 lumens to 800.
plus it can charge the battery via USB

Surefire E2E modded by Oveready copper edition with a custom LE and triple XPG2 emitters. Bored to accept a 18650.
You are a flashlight junkie!
Ha! It's a Cool Fall Spy 007 XML2, programmable, titanium, flashlight powered by two 16340 li ion cells.
Fenix PD35, Nitecore P12 and Olight m18 striker are all fantastic choices. My favorite of that list is definitely the PD35. I carry my mods spare battery in my flashlight when I'm out and about.
Fenix, Nitecore, Olight and Sunwayman all make great lights. There's a few others i cant think of right now

No not really. I'm a member of candlepower forums. There is a lot of boasting and debate about how bright, floody or throwy a certain beam is from flashlights. There are also members who who custom modify peoples flashlights, to the point where they require high drain batteries for safety reasons. There's a guy who can modify my 950 lumen PD35 to put out close to 1500 lumens, and that's a big jump
Would that be Vin? I've been meaning to try one of his modules.
