Hi guys,
I love flashlights but don't have a lot of money to spend on hobby stuff, and I have a LOT of hobbies. Part of being a gear nerd I guess. Anyways, I have been eyeing a QP2L-X for a LONGGGGGGGG time. I recently had a "good reason" to make a new light purchase, and I was heart broken to find out that Foursevens was forced to discontinue their Quark Pro/Tactical lines. I am also a big fan of Surefire, but that lawsuit is complete BS. After some searching I found a QP2L-X in stock, and I jumped on it after some "careful deliberation."
I am super excited to get it in, but it also has me wondering if there are any other light manufacturers out there with similar UI's. Everything is moving to side switch mode operation with tail on/off, and worst of all, they have mode memory........
At the very least, what manufacturers have dependable lights without mode memory and firefly/moonlight modes?
Current lights in my collection:
Surefire LX2
Surefire Mossberg DSF-500/590
Streamlight TLR-1HL
Streamlight Microstream
Streamlight Nano
