The mere idea of this thread is preposterous!

It would be like trying to choose "only one woman" for the rest of your life.

meh,

i was just trying to get peoples opinions about 'the best general purpose light' available today.

i got my answer.:thumbsup:

 

[Illumination]

If I had to choose only one, it would have to be an Aleph-type light with a easily changeable light engine.

That way my light always is up to date!

Or is this an unacceptable loophole?

i am assuming that for this scenario to occur i would be shipwrecked on a deserted island with the lunasol 20 and jennifer annistan (who needs batteries).

Are you saying that Jennifer would need batteries? :naughty:

Back on topic ....

Novatac 120P, but then again I just build my first light, a Mag P7
Hmmm .... I think I will stick to my first choice, the Novatac ...
more reliable

 

[Cydonia]

A 2C Maglite as a platform. I could mod it every year for ever and still be happy.

 

[curlyfry562]

My Milky U2by2. It is small enough to EDC and is bright as hell.

 

[Rogerg]

LiteFlux LF5XT does it all for my choice.

 

[Oddjob]

My McLux III PD-S mizer. Just something about it that brings me back to it even if I do not use it as much as I used to.

 

[m16a]

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the ra clicky. Built like a tank, bright as anything when needed, capable of running forever, and the best all around light for any situation I've seen. :twothumbs

 

[Art Vandelay]

The Surefire A2 Aviator with white LEDs.

 

[shomie911]

The Surefire A2 Aviator with white LEDs.

Just said "I'll take it" for an old flat-sided A2 with white LEDs.

It's good to see that someone would keep it as their only light, I hope I like it that much too. :thumbsup:

Of the lights that I own, I'd have to say it would be my SureFire A2.

But once I got thinking about it for a while, I would probably have to say it would be a SureFire C2 HAIII (or possibly a SF M2).

Here is why:
- Obviously, being a P60 host it gives you a bunch of options...P60, P61, P90 and P91 on Li-Ion or IMR cells, Malkoff LEDs, LF incan and LED drop-ins, etc., etc. As new things develop in the market, most likely there will be P60 size drop-ins.

- Combat grip in case I would need to use it with a pistol.

- Tough hard anodizes finish should hold up to a lot of abuse.

- It's two-cell size is still pretty pocketable and small enough to have it on you when you need it.

I guess as I see it, it's a pretty safe choice going with a P60 size host and if it's going to be the only one for the rest of your life, it might as well be a bada** one at that (C2 or M2).

 

[The Sun]

120P, until i get my hands on a 140cn

 

[Snow]

Surefire A2 or L1

 

[Dead_Nuts]

As much as I'd like to say the Ra Clicky, it hasn't been around long enough or in enough people's hands yet. The Ra Twisty is probably the light that I believe most likely to last a lifetime -- so, that's what I'd go with. I love my Novatacs, but they are not the tanks that the Ra lights are.

One with a "TRUE" unlimited life time warranty :green:
