I work graveyard as an aircraft mechanic, my flashlight is my number 1 tool. I've got several thousand worth of lights, as I buy the latest and greatest to see which will be my EDC. So far I go back and forth between my Klarus XT11GT, Eagletac T25C2 w/upgraded led, & my Armytek Predator Pro. Still own several from Nitecore TM series, and Olight's latest throwers, but always go back to the three I mentioned earlier. If I were to rank the 3 top, 1. eagletac, 2. Klarus, & 3. Armytek. All the rest of my collection sit in the bottom of my toolbox. Guess I should sell some, but have a hard time letting them go. For headlamps I've got Armytek, Nitecore, Black Diamond, & Petzl. I tend to use the Black Diamond the most out of those, Would love to test the H1A & the XT12s see if they can become my new EDC's.
