having trouble choosing a new flashlight need some advice

[rokspydr]

So I have narrowed it down to 3 lights.
Jetbeam M1X
Jetbeam Raptor
Aleph 3

Any suggestions or comments would be great. Thank's

Pick the one you like then get on KD or DX and get the same thing for a ton cheaper.

KD,DX ?

I suggest you make a list of what you are wanting in a light. Check out the reviews, beamshots, and price. How many modes do you want? What kind of user interface do you want? The Raptor series has a magnetic selector ring. The M1X has an IBS UI. Consider how or where you are going to carry the light. RRT-2 would be fairly easy to carry in pocket or on belt. But the RRT-1 and M1X haev bigger heads making them a little more difficult to carry. Or you could just do what most people do on this site and buy them all.

KD,DX ?

Cheap Chinese discount websites. Buying cheap lights is like going to a Casino. Sometimes you get lucky and other times you waste your money.
A decent gamble sometimes for cheap little lights, but not for larger lights.

DX & KD have nothing like the Jetbeam Raptor. Nor will anything sold there have the finish and quality of an Aelph... or even a Jetbeam usually.



What do you want your light to do? You listed three pretty different lights there... especially the Aelph.

Not looking for a show off light. It has to be well made and have a decent runtime on high with a good amount of throw. It also needs to have a low level also. And in the rare case I wouldnt mind a light I can modify if I choose.

I would get the JetBeam Raptor RR-T 1.
