I've been spending way too much time obsessing over what flashlight to get next and have come to the point where I need to start considering what form factors are practical for me. Right now I'm considering lights that are 1 x 18650/28650/26650, 2 x 18650 side by side and inline, 3 x 18650, and 4 x 18650.
As a 'wee lad, I had no problems lugging around a 4D Maglite which put out just shy of 100 lumens. It seems the days of having to carry around a massive flashlight to get a nice amount of output and battery life are over.
However, I still find myself going down that slippery slope of wanting more output without sacrificing too much battery life. Thus, I find myself chasing the rabbit but I want to make sure I actually want to catch it before I pull the trigger.
What do you think of various flashlight form factors? Do you put a pop-can lite in your pocket? Do you ever dislike holding a larger/heavier light while walking for extended periods of time? I kind of like the 'mag style flashlight (as seen in the TK47), but it definitely won't fit in a pocket.
