Hey guys,
This is just a fun thread to have people list light suggestions that might hep others looking for similar specs.
I have had lights from SF, Malkoff, HDS, Olight and Zebralight and still don't think I have found the light that fits all my criteria. This is mostly to see if people have suggestions I have not thought of
Here are some criteria:
1. Have a tail activated momentary high mode that does not depend on memory mode or cycle through brightness levels.
2. Run with a single cell (18650 or the like counts as one cell)
3. Officially support rechargeable.
4. No proprietary battery or charging.
5. Preferably under $200.
6. Easily replaceable and from a company that will support it.
7. Pocketable
8. Has a low mode for daily tasks.
Here are some lights that are close that I have tired and their shortcomings
1. Olight Warrior Mini 3 - proprietary battery and charging.
2. Malkoff MD2 - large and heavy for EDC but otherwise perfect.
3. HDS Tactical - Close to $400, HDS revolves around one guy who could retire and then what?
4. Surefire xyz - No official support for standard rechargeables in most lights.
5. Zebralight - No rear activated button with momentary high.
My top options I am looking into is the Elzetta Alpha 113 and the Thrunite TN12 pro.
What else ya got?
Thanks!
