Re: The Flashaholic's "Must Have" List

Zebralight H501

a single light that can be used as overhead light, shirt light, desk lamp, headlamp, lanyard light hand-free; and it can be used as a flashlight too.

Since I went hand-free about a year ago, I haven't looked back.

I guess to an extent the answer to the OP question really depends on how deep your pockets are.

My answers:

HDS Ra Clicky - I prefer the High CRI, but I guess whichever LED bin floats your boat. It's a great light, perfect size/weight/balance, awesome UI.

Surefire M6 - a classic with so many options from 250 - 2000+ lumens.

SF C2 / 18650 bore / SST-50 warm drop-in - yes a little bit custom but a current build and readily available.

For me two come to mind. The LiteFlux LF2XT, of course, and one that helped usher in the LED revolution, the CMG Infinity.

Re: The Flashaholic's "Must Have" List

SureFire 6P (acceptable substitutes include SF C2, Z2, and, to a slightly lesser extent, G2)

While it's an outstanding light in its stock form, there exists a large and growing number of options to modify the light to meet the needs and/or wants of most users.

LF2XT- always in pocket or around neck

ZL501W-always close by

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Eagletac yet. I'm in love with my

P10A, never leaves my pocket. Simple UI with plenty of output for most tasks.

Re: The Flashaholic's "Must Have" List

My "must haves" are all torches I currently own and I hanker for no others.

My Led Lenser P7. Totally utterly dependable and reliable. Never even flickered. Bright and able to throw very well. The one torch I'd pack if I knew my life was going to depend on it.

My Eagletac p20c2 mkII. So bright and with such well spaced levels. Great for opening up larger areas but can still see a fair way.

Jetbeam Jet-i V3. AA, 14500 and allows programming of levels and order. Great throw for the little package but still effective close up. Perfect single cell pocket torch.

ITP A3 EOS torch for my keybunch. Just for emergencies.

No others. That's all I really need.

I'm assuming you meant the Malkoff M61. Let me know if that isn't correct.
