You can justify it to wifey since the spiderwbs will melt in front of the beam (JK).

LOL, I'm still pretty much a night owl. So I stay up late into the night all the time. My wife was complaining about how bright the L1T was when I used it to light my way going to bed. So, the multiple levels of light the U60XRGT seemed just perfect. Well, I used that as an excuse.

As for melting the spiderwebs, another toy I purchased will take care of that...

Nice choice. I really am finding my U60GT to be a real EDC in every way. It has supplanted every other flashlight except my headlight and my Photon keylight

These are the most serious and brightest LED flashlights money can buy.

LOL, not what I would consider for EDC.

Speaking of which, I just got my HDS U60 XRGT. Wow. I never knew how green the tint my L1T has.

I have a few accessories coming in for the new U60 XRGT. I'll post pics when they're in.

One I'm really looking for is a horizontal belt pouch. It just doesn't seem to exist. I might have to have one custom made or find something else that might work. I'm partial to leather. Especially Lamb.

Check out the belt holsters from TAD Gear. They have vertical and horizontal form factors that will fit the EDC lights.

For those interested in powerful light this can be fun

Not exactly portable before but a AN/VSS-3 1kW xenon arc tank searchlight sure look nice

Gah!

I just placed an order with them last week for a 1x123 battery tube body. Could've added that to my order.

Oh well. I'm partial to leather, I'm trying to have Matt at Art of the Hide to make me a horizontal holester.

Not quite yet.

Fortunately the flashlights I've been acquiring are very small.

My latest acquisition will be a tiny Titanium wonder.

Wooooooo.

I want a couple of these.

I randomly jumped on the band-wagon today with a 3W luxeon torch, its obviously nothing compared to some of the ones you guys have been talking about, but nonetheless still damned impressive for one single LED

 

[Edwood]

Be careful with multi cell Lithium powered flashlights. They need to be matched voltages. If one is significantly less power than the other, explosions can happen.

So if you have a multimeter, check those CR123's before putting them on the light.

i just wanted to post THANK YOU for this thread. i'm in the middle of getting my new place in order, and we have a nasty storage crawlspace under the stairs that obviously has no outlets and is pitch black even at High Noon. i went to Home Depot and got four cheapo stompbox floodlights that immediately went south within a week in that alien environment. before i returned all four, i looked at the candlepower site and found this-

I have the lantern in my bag now, heading home and ready to install 3 long bricks worth of unused baby toy D-batteries for this thing. the best part is that it only cost 3 bucks more than all of those nasty stomplights! bonus since Home Depot gave me full credit even tho i lost the receipt for them and they were obviously used (i think they were still exuding radon fumes).

The Ti is a bit over the top...I have an aluminium Orb RAW and it is great. Tough as nails and so small I take it everywhere. You won't find a more powerful torch for the size (it's direct drive)! If you get one, get the switched version.
