well, that's probably the best advice I have gotten yet.
The Olight M20X looks great and I wonder howcome I haven't come across it on my own. Really has it all - almost. I wish there was 1-2 additional modes available, 500 to 100 lumes seems like quite a big jump. nevertheless, it is gonna be in my final candidates.
thanks, but the P2X Fury is well above my budget range.
So I think it will come down to one of the following lights:
1. JETBEAM PC25 (+ cheap, + diffuser available, + sideswitch)
2. JETBEAM RRT-21 (+rotary switch with adjustable output, + diffuser available, - not "visually-linear output ramp", -expensive)
3. Eagletac G25C (+ perfect mode selection, + diffuser attachment, - head twisting to select modes, - diffuser kit $ 40)
4. Olight M20-X (+ diffuser included, +cheap, + sideswitch, - missing a fourth output mode)
5. Klarus XT11 (+cheap, + diffuser available, + dual switch, - missing a fourth mode)
(6. Zebralight SC600 (+ perfect flood, + perfect modes, - "almost" no throwing abilities, - expensive, -not the prettiest light on the planet )
thanks a lot for your support, I will keep on reading and hopefully come to a descision soon
I wouldn't say the SC600 is impressive. It is for a flashaholic, however for a newbie or someone unfamiliar with flashlights, (in my opinion) I would definatley go for something with a bit more throw. To a newbie, and even to myself, throw definatley is more impressive than super-flood. In my opinion, I would be more impressed DEFINATLEY by something that throws, not floods. Sounds like the XT11 is a good mix. You wouldn't really need a diffuser for that either, it dosen't have a really tight hotspot. You could also consider an Olight M20X or M21X. They are around $90 with a diffuser INCLUDED.

You can also consider Surefire P2X Fury. It has a nice useable spot with a decent spill. Dual output and a lifetime warranty to keep your investment safe.
