I'd buy the Le Beau - yeah I know it's not for sale but everything has it's price...

I'd also go and manufacture a de-bugged, de-niggled version of every mod on the CPF from scratch using specifically designed purpose built host, switch, reflector, battery packs and chargers.

"If money were no object, what lights would you get?"

Definitely the Surefire Beast. I'd ask for a rechargeable pack, but if money is no object.. ahh heck I'd commission a custom rechargeable pack, because I don't want to end up throwing away too many cells (doesn't make feel good about the environmental impact at all, despite the fact I'm not usually your "save the earth" kinda guy).

And a few more U2s to go along. Can't have too many of a good thing. I'd take an M3T as well, and a 10X for fun.

The tank light is fun, I'd stick it in the house somewhere.

Just carry one of 'em HIDs for 1500-3000 lumens. Beats carrying 2 M6s.
And nah, you're fine :D

I would ask talented people like McGizmo or fivemega to cobble this together:

- a light with the looks of a 1AA cut-down MiniMag
- driven by a single 150A size Li-Ion
- improved bezel twistie, programmable with U2-style ring switch
- rechargeable without disassembly
- available in beadblasted pink and baby-blue (I seem to be alone in this one :crazy:

In other words, a smaller and prettier U2 in girlie colors that can hang off a neck lanyard and be held between one's teeth without any danger of chipping them...

Maybe a shocker, but since I already have an SF M6, and since I much prefer like lights no larger than the M6, I am not interested in buying any new/current lights at the moment. The SF Beast or the Megaray (whatever the name is) does nothing for me. I don't need nor care much for "show" lights - if it has no real/practical use for me, I am not getting them. I don't even like the MC nor the M*g85 as they are too large, heavy, and too bright for me :crackup:

Once I turn the M6 into a regulated light (with a LOLA as the main light), that along with my A2 has me covered outdoors. Indoors, I have plenty of LED lights that work great, so I am more or less done until something exciting comes along ;)

If money were no object, I would start my own company that would develop flashlights. Then I would have everyone one that I want because I designed them. And yes I would have a regulated incandscent series.


Happy New Year!

I'd do a lot of mods because that's what I like to do and I haven't done as much as I'd like to in that regard.

Indium Smart
entire Aleph series and all accessories, etc.
all SF lights
all Night-Ops lights
original McLux
McLux PD's
HDS (all of them)
maybe a MaxaBeam

The first three that come to mind are:

- Surefire U2
- Gladius
- HDS Ultra 85 GT

There are several custom lights I'd like to have also, but there are too many to list.
