Just. One.

[chaosmagnet]

I go with one light company, Surefire.

I can respect that. Which one?

 

[Valpo Hawkeye]

Alrighty, I have many lights from many manufacturers. I have eight SureFires, eight Fenix, many Inova, Streamlight, and even some custom lights. My choice?

The Fenix P2D Q5 :duh2:

 

[glockboy]

I can respect that. Which one?

All of them.

 

[cv3po]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH !!! :duck:

I guess my tusty LOD. With a 10440 it keeps up with the big boys and it can still use NiMH's or E92 lithiums for versatility. Great beam, great tint and is small enough to ALWAYS have with you and can even be strapped to a headlight band. Great overall light!

If it can be modded with different bodies, I'd go for the most reliable one possible.

Which means a twisty with minimal or no electronics. More things to go wrong otherwise.

So it depends on the basic platform.

I work indoors in a hospital so rarely-never need to spot stuff a mile or two away. While my office is about 500 metres from where I actually work, all of the distance is indoors so crazy throw is not a necessity.

So I don't need a huge head for silly throw.

So the Orb Raw with a range of bodies is still it.

No switch to go wrong, it's a twisty.

If the multi-level bit goes wrong, well I still have maximum output and I'm allowed to make new bodies for runtime or availability of whatever cell/cells are on sale.

For that matter I can make new heads though I think that's violating the spirit of the question. Depends on what "Just. One" means.

Personally, I'd say that means, "Just One Stock Light"

But it's still the Orb Raw for what I do.

i think Id pice my novatac.It is my favorite UI ,and Ive tried many!!!

 

[parnass]

Surefire E1L Dual level Cree.

It is small enough to carry at all times, is solidly built, and throws far enough for my walks at night in a rural setting. Good balance between brightness and a long battery life.

My Nitecore Defender.

I use a torch mostly to provide illumination from a few centimeters to a couple of meters and the NDI does this admirably, allowing me to adjust the output to suit. The NDI will go to 50m+ also, which is enough for me. I made an accessory so it will tailstand and provide red light so it now satisfies all my current lighting needs.

 

[Ty_Bower]

Surefire U2 Digital Ultra.

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Perish the thought! One light? You might as well just go ahead and shoot me.

I GUESS Fenix and I guess L2D Q5 (but you can't have my L1 body!)

 

[cave dave]

Do I get lifetime warranty and loss replacement with identical light? If so Spy005 Ti.

Luckily I get all the headlamps I want, right?

 

[FrankW438]

Wow. That's a tough question. If the switches on the Fenix LxD weren't reverse-clickies, I would choose one of those. The reverse-clickie just isn't practical for tactical use. However, I am beginning to appreciate the different modes. I just got my Fenix L2D delivered today, and I really like it quite a bit, except for the switch.

But I guess for now I would have to go with my H2X Typhoon (Gladius clone). Different modes for different uses, momentary switch, tactical grip. It pretty much handles all my needs. If it were smaller, it would be my EDC for off-duty, also.

my L1 Cree.

I own a range of lights include HDS, Novatac, PD, Arc, etc, the L1 is the one that I always have and easiest to use.

 

[chaosmagnet]

Only if that's what the light comes with.

Luckily I get all the headlamps I want, right?

No .

 

[chaoss]

Novatac 120e. It is my go to light right now.

 

[Taboot]

Easy. M6.

 

[momonbubu]

errr, i want to say novatac 120, but i dont have it, so i will say Fenix p2d q5.....

If limited to lights I already own, +1 to Fenix P2D.

If I could go out and buy a new one just for this purpose, price now not being an object, I'd probably consider the Fenix TK10 and just put up with having a holster, even though its nerdy, because its so cool.

My "rest of my life light" hasn't been invented yet. If I had to choose one that I currently own it would be an HDS U60. I'm guessing that the new Ra Twisty will be my choice once I get one. Versatile and bulletproof and will do 95% of what I need it to do. What more could I ask for except some future, more-efficient LED?
