Flashlight-Fi (LED & Conventional)

[shane55]

OK, went just a bit crazy. Ordered three:
Olight M20-S2 Warrior
Olight T20-T-R5
Quark AA2 Tactical S2  (same one rasmushorn just got)
 
Looked at features, specs, reviews, etc. These just seemed to capture what I wanted... but not all in one item. So I got all three, just to see the differences. It's a start.
Was going to get the Quark 123-2 Tactical, but preferred the specs of the Olight for this (CR123) style. We'll see.
 
Cheers.

You never know when you are going to need 3 flashlights, right? 2 hands and toes.

Not toes... Mouth. Much easier to aim.

Only three?  Well, that's a nice start!    Enjoy!  Next step is the Olight M30 / M31 / M3X.

Heh heh... those are huge! Yeah I was keeping it all a bit more portable and discreet.

But being what and who I am... I'll keep those in mind.

Picked up the Fenix TK12 R5, shortly after buying the TK45. I mainly got it because of the small size, I thought it would be a nice EDC, but after some use I find the edges too sharp and not really comfortable. So I am still looking for an EDC light that durable, and has a less "tactical" design for a reasonable price.

Next flashlight purchase: a 21W LED Canister light from Light Monkey!

Yeah, I can see you at the airport... trying to tell them it's just a flashlight.

That would be interesting.  Even better if it's in your checked luggage....

Mouth can be tough, during allergy season.

Ordered a Sunwayman M40C for work, should be arriving tomorrow. I'll post my impressions.

5 modes, Low (40 lumens) for 40 hours, medium (165 lumens) for 10 hours, high (630 lumens) for 2 hours, blue (9 lumens) for 10 hours, and red (12 lumens) for 10 hours.

Runs on 4 x CR123A or 2 x 18650 rechargeables.

From the reviews I've read it's built like a tank (sure looks like it), while still maintaining a very small size for this class of high-output lights, I'm looking forward to getting it.

It looks awesome!

That Sunwayman is a nice looking light.  Did you guys notice that the XM-L is same brightness as SST-50 using only half the current?  Cool!
ck out the M30R, using only 3xCR123s:  Note, the pic says SST-50 LED, but the light is identical, but for the fact the XM-L runs for twice as long as the SST-50.
