I finally have all parts to build some C Cell Maglites with Seoul P7 LED's in them. Going to overdrive them at 3A, so hopefully it doesn't run too hot. I had the Maglites cut down to 1C size, so they can take a single Li-Ion C cell.

Otherwise, I have a long delayed custom Arcmania flashlight coming. Which uses 3x CR123 batteries and a 6 die Osram Ostar LED.

I have been using Nitecore D10. It's bright enough for most of my jobs and it uses a single AA battery. Its switch is excellent and it's easy to operate.

I hike a nearby mountain after work so it doesn't give me a lot of time to get up and down before getting a bit dark. So, I'm looking into getting a nice flashlight to fix that. Doesn't have to be cheap, but not looking to buy a Bentley either. I'm all about price/performance. Another idea is maybe one that I can attach to my hydration pack so it's on my shoulder. Let's hear some ideas folks! Thanks!

Nitecore D10 x2

Actually check out all the Nitecore products

CPF8 works for a discount too.

Joshatdot, have you bought a Nitecore ?

I have ordered a Nitecore EX10, it should be here this weekend.

Nitecore Extreme has a maximum output of 200 lumen, it's pretty bright for close range work. It's not as comfortable to hold as the D10.

It's an ArcMania MJP-E3e (15-3). It's a modified Surefire KL4 head with a 1000 lumen 6 die Osram Ostar LED in it with a custom 3 Cell body.

Looks like this: But mine is in HA Natural color.

What appealed to me is this light's ability to run off of 3xCR123's and can also run off of two AA's in a pinch (can only run at lower levels). It can also run off of two CR123's and even a single one.

It's my "Zombie Apocalypse Light".

I have received my Nitecore EX10 (with osram golden dragon plus led). It's slightly brighter than D10 and the light is smoother. The light is white, not with green or purple tint, just like the D10. It's comfortable to hold, it's thicker but shorter (the opposite of D10). The piston drive is excellent, and the EX10 can stand on its tail.

My EDC: Surefire Backup

 

[Joshatdot]

I have not purchased a NDI yet. I've been happy with my cheep DX torches & my P1D CE Q5. Fenix has some new lights coming out today: LD10, LD20, L2D, PD20 & PD30.

 

[Joshatdot]

My EDC is the Fenix P1D CE Q5, and I recently got a another inexpensive torch from DealExtreme, the StarFire A01 (Cree Q3-WC). Great cheep torch! I also got the Romisen RC-C3, it's pretty much the exact same as the A01 but with a P4 LED. The A01 is slightly brighter than the RC-C3.

All I've got currently is a Novatac 120, that I modded to the P version
Love it, an don't really need much more
