Discontinued flashlight that you love

[nirad]

Arc LS..small form factor and great ergonmics..versatile too. I hope the newer upcoming LS lights from Arc will live up to the quality and standards of old.

Oh how I wish Surefire would re-introduce the 3P

Ahhh.. that'd be sweet. Of course, it would have to have some kind of feature to overshadow the fact that it's bigger than the E1e series, but the R30 has pretty much the same output and I dare say less runtime as the E1e MN lamp.
I'm upgrading my homegrown 3P Clone with an LED module and R123's. Soon as I get it all together and try it out, I'll post a little breakdown.

I love the Z3 and can't for the LIFE of me figure out why the big honkin C3 with a pocket-clip made the cut and not the Z.

Size 15s, yep that's it! I never liked the stock E1, but with the KL1, it is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the great pic! Drool, you have some very "pretty" lights, especially the personalized "gold" one. The PK light looks nice, too. Heck, they're all great.

Aleph Series , just when I was starting to get enough money to purchase them.

I still love my old (but like new) 9N with the turbo head. I use it everytime I need a lot of throw or a lot of flood. And I really like the slide-in charger too.

If I need a flashlight to carry in my back pocket, I take the turbo head off and put the original head back on. Either way, it's still the brightest in my collection.

About the only feature I don't use is the low beam. I carry an Arc AAA for that

I love the Z3 and can't for the LIFE of me figure out why the big honkin C3 with a pocket-clip made the cut and not the Z.

No doubt.
I think the Z3 has by far the best looking, and has the best form factor, of the standard 3 cell SFs. It looks and feels even better with a black M2 bezel or SRTH.
Wish they'd made it in natural HA with a shock isolated bezel...

 

[Size15's]

True!

The Z3 with "M2" bezel looks almost like an M3 (better now that the M3 has since changed bezel style)

Not my photo:

The Z3+SRTH looks great - a bit shorter than the M3T and with the N2 lamp it produces a beam that can only be bettered by the 9NT.

Did I mention I love the 9NT already?

 

[KDOG3]

They probably didn't want the Z3 to "step on" the M3...

 

[JNewell]

Original 9P - model without the hex head.

Strongly agree with that.

Many flashlight models discontinued since last post.

So, which one you loved but no longer in production?

SureFire A2 Aviator

SureFire's incandescent line (minus the 6P and G2, the only two remaining survivors), especially the M-series lights :sigh:

 

[M@elstrom]

SureFire A2 Aviator

+1

Also highly treasured are my...

• Surefire L1 (gen2)
• Jetbeam Jet3M (R2)
• Surefire 9N (it's such a cool light)

 

[välineurheilija]

Fenix TK20 and L2D i have both and like them very much

 

[kramer5150]

+2 on the A2 aviator incan. love it!!! Still my favorite UI. it just works for me. press a little for 15 lumens, press a lot for 65... twist a little/twist a lot.

For whatever reason mine works great with RCR123 cells, I have heard others don't do so well.

 

[Phil Ament]

JETBeam JET-II I.B.S. What a great little tiny pocket thrower, with adjustable focus (well sort of)! Very well made and extremely aesthetically pleasing!

 

[novice]

Fenix P2D - covered with external o-rings & a garden hose washer, it rides with me everywhere

also,
Surefire A2 - Koala's 'onion ring', and Fivemega's strion bulb adapter, lift this lamp up to its true potential.
Surefire E2E - fitted with a LF lamp, and a 17670, this is what an incandescent should be.
