Thanks for the advise guys! Are there other note-worthy lights of similar throw/performance or are these it?
I remember the Javelot of Deerelight, but I believe that has been discontinued.
for non-modded lights, here are possible EDC lights you can easily buy depending on your budget and preference:
1. Convoy C8 XPL Hi 2.8A CW 6500-7000k 95k lux (~ 20USD)
2. Nitecore P30 XPL Hi CW 95k lux (~60USD)
3. Olight M2X-UT XPL Hi CW 160k lux (~85USD)
4. Manker U21/Utorch UT02 XPL Hi CW...

If you are not bothered by the heads of the XT12GT and the Nitecore P30, then get the best in their class: Olight M2X-UT 160,000+ stock...
HG2, best for vapers due to its high drain capability, but still will come in short for flashlight use compared to the LG MJ1 and Sanyo GA both @ 3500mAh albeit, lower drain capability. (10A versus 20A on the LG Choco) :)
