1) HDS Systems EDC Clicky

I noticed there is nothing to say if it is just for stock standard flashlights, or if flashlights by modders can also be included?
I may add or to this once this is clarified

1. Thrunite TN31 modded by Vinh
2. Crelant 7G5v2 4a w/dedome
3. Crelant V9U2
4. Uniquefire UF-T20 4a w/XPG2
5. SS ZY-C10-S 3a w/XPG2

Of course, the only 'stock' light is the V9U2, and it is perfect.........but.........modders are modders for a reason........

With all these lights with just one vote, do people feel that those lights are a must have for everyone (as the purpose of the thread) or are they just trying to justify their purchase to themselves, or do they have such inexperience with lights to think that particular light is best?

You can only recommend what you are familiar with. I only have two of the top fifteen lights. Would I recommend one of the other lights? Based on what I have read on different lights, maybe. I think if everybody owned the same lights, the list would probably be much shorter.

I think people's recommendations for the "Must Have List" of lights are based on what they have used in the past.

Bday & Christmas are on the horizon and I have a nice list made up, but rules are lights you already have.. I've several Surfires but I'm not voting them at this time....

My only vote right now is for my Fenix TK75 2900 lumen light... permanently mine!

Of the many lights I've purchased since I joined this website a couple of weeks ago, the only one that I cannot stop playing with is my.....

Zebralight SC52! This little light is amazing with a fresh 14500.

I would vote for the SPY007.
Programming, size, relative rarity, 3,300 mAh , just too much in a 3" light not to be on a wish list for many flashaholics

1. Fenix TK75 XM-L2
2. Nitecore MT40
3. Jetbeam BC40 NW

I will be ordering another TK75 for my wife as the level spacing, throw/flood, run time and UI is most suited for our need.
