The Draco is the great EDC. Lightweight and diminutive smooth form you don't realize it's on the keychain, 3 programmable output modes 0-120+ lumens, flawless beam quality and tint, perfect hot spot with smooth corona and spill and a bit of throw. And it tail stands! Very usable light.
The PD is the perfect light IMHO. Flawless beam clarity and tint, two levels both with momentary. Very usable twist head to select on/1/2, solid clip, tail stand. Very usable tool.
There's nothing like the Tigerlight 600 lumen LED tactical light with stealth pepper spray. High, low and blinding strobe mode, long runtime, great beam quality and tint, throw is excellent, spill is excellent, rechargeable. Very usable light and protection system. I keep one in the car and one in the bedroom.
The Aleph System is an incredible modular light. I like the beam of the A19 head with the choice of LE, body and tail parts to suit needs. Great tool and a classic hall of fame light system.
Xeno X03 is a great production light and only $30!! AA format using Cree XM-L T6 LED it has 3 regulated levels while using primary OR LiON and no PWM(90/320/490Lumens), perfect beam quality and tint, 3000 lux of usable throw, great smooth transition, great grip and knurling, glow in the dark O-ring and tail cap, and solid tail stand. What more could you want in a flashlight?
I just got the MBI HF-R Ti UTT : XM-L T6 3mode and it looks like a serious contender. I need to use it for a few weeks before making a call on it but so far it's a winner.
