I know... nearly ever post on this forum is "help me to decide which light"...
I'm seriously stuck and couldn't find a light - or simply blinded by the amount of choices available.
I'm after a flashlight that has the following:
I liked the
JetBeam 3M XML,
JET III M 3M Military R5,
RRT-2 Raptor CREE R5
Fenix Tk21
Surefire defender
I think RRT-2 would be ideal.. but that mode ring seems like the weak link and there have been reports of durability issues after some use.
I'm intending to use this light as self defense, keeping it in the car for emergencies. Strobe and throw bias could come in handy.

- Uses 18650
- Water proof
- Between a thrower and flood
- Good reputation manufacturer
- Stainless strike head, would be a bonus if could tail stand and has stainless strike tail as well. My God I love the JetBeam optional big teeth strike head...
- 3 modes, easy to access. Hate the programable switch...
- High +300lum (the higher the better..), Low ~100lum and strobe
- Halfpress low, Hard press high and other methods for contant on/strobe.
