Being new to HIDs I'd like some advice if possible, I'd like to get a "compact" one as in the oracle or one similar but after reading various reviews of many flashlights i'm def not sure which to go for.
Options I have seen ...
Microfire k3500.
Wolfeyes boxer
Oracle 24w
G&P 35W
ae25 (slightly larger)
Sterops 35w (rebranded g&p as far as I can tell?)

What ideally i'd like is:
compact size
decent colour temp
smooth reflector for throw and... lastly 60min or thereabouts runtime ...is this the holy grail?

They all seem to have drawbacks ...
Microfire ..expensive and colour temp..reflector is it smooth or op
Oracle cheap but colour temp and def op reflector
Wolfeyes...run time ? lumens ? colour temp
g&p and sterops ...build quality colour temp reflector ( not sure)
AE25 run time and size and colour temp

Any advice very appreciated, are the g&p reflectors smooth and focusable and are they really that bad on quality.
 
The AE25 has excellent run-time. Better than all the rest by far. I'd take that off the "drawback" list. The color temperature isn't too terrible for that light either. It's better than the WE and tactical hid anyhow. It's also the only light with with a smooth reflector which separates it from everything else in the group.

It would be my choice.
