Long time user of CPF - but I *rarely* buy. Right now I own all of 3 lights -Fenix TK41, Quark 2xAA XM-L2 Pro, & a DQG II. Maybe I average 1.5 lights a year. I research all the time (this is some sort of sick fun to me), but rarely buy.
I'm looking at getting an 18650 light, which I've never had before. Get an Xtar charger, etc. Probably 1x18650, possibly 3x18650 (but unlikely). No 2x18650 - either small and "normal" - or just a beast for fun. Not compromises.
I prefer...
Flood to throw
Set levels vs. variable
Zebralight SC600 appeals to me - but how waterproof is that switch? I'd be taking this light in the ocean (not diving) but - yes, in the ocean. I've done this before and all was well...until I tried taking a twisty-head mode selection light - that was my stupidity. Should not twist loose/tight again when in the ocean....
Eagletac G25-C2-II - Looks somehow more durable? More traditional switch.
Nitecore TM 15 - built in charger, that's a plus. Quite big though...and maybe a little more toward throw than spill for my taste. Definite fun factor though (which is the only reason I own a TK41).
Your thoughts on these or other lights?
