List the lights you own in order of which you like best... Top 3-5-10, whatever....

[cancow]

Why do u like the T20cs over the G25?

Make a "top 3" or "top 5" or "top 10" list of your favorite flashlights that you now own or previously owned. If you dont want to do a list, then just list you overall favorite single light. Obviously list them in order with #1 being the best.


Its funny, I thought of starting this thread before I even considered which lights I actually would put in an order of which are the best. So I'll have to stop typing for about 10-15 minutes and think..........................................................................................................


Here are all the lights I own:
1. Eagletac D25A
2. Eagletac D25C
3. Eagletac G25C2
4. Jetbeam PA 10
5. Foursevens Preon 2
6. Solarforce L2P, w/ Thrunite XM-L 3 mode
7. Jetbeam BC-10
8. iTp A6
9. Zebralight SC 600
10. Sunwayman T20CS


So now that its 15 minutes later, here's my top 5 list:

5. FourSevens Preon 2
4. Eagletac G25 C2
3. Jetbeam BC 10
2. Jetbeam PA 10
1. Sunwayman T20CS

[Launch Mini]

In no particular order:
Lummi Wee with the XML pill. Just so handy to keep on my keys and so much light from this thing.
SPY007 XM-L. My main EDC. So versatile, so much light, or so little light and so easy to use & carry.
Haiku XPG. My "conventional" flashlight that I don't mind "abusing" by loaning to guests at the cabin.

Honourable mentions
Zebra Headlight
Surefire E1B
Surefire Titan, modded to a neutral XPG

Zebralight SC600W

Sunwayman V10R Ti+ Recently received from a forum member and it has been my new EDC. Love the rotary control. Replaced the Ti button with the rubber one. Its a little tricky to operate one handed - you hold it tactical style, click the button, then you rotate it palm down to operate the rotary control. The Ti body looks great, clip looks bad and is weak. Ti body makes it heavy and wide and as such it doesn't ride in jeans well - especially with a knife sharing the pocket. Beam is fairly neutral and seems to be whiter when brighter, and cooler when dimmer. Nice and floody beam which is great. No trit/emitter mods planned as of yet - waiting on an HDS Hi-Cri. The low level and color instantly replaced my 4Sevens Mini 123 as my nightstand light.


KUKU427 Liteflux LF2XT full knurled ti run, sapphire, XP-G, Trit button - great EDC but now the tail switch has broken. I've since been using a 4 Sevens mini 123 and it gets me by but its 'meh. Ordered an HDS High CRI Rotary and hopefully it will be my new favorite.

Jetbeam M1X good for camping and clearing houses, can infinitely adjust it really low as a tent light etc.

Zebralight AA H50-Q5, headlight especially good for extended times in darkness such as camping where I'm working on a task, working under the sink etc.

Maratac AAA, received as a santa gift '09/10 from Youfoundnemo - thank you again! It was my user way back, but now serves as a backup. Still such a diminuitive and light form factor, much lighter than the Ti Liteflux. Its a hotrodded badass when you throw a 10180 in it, I dare say its brighter than the mini123 on rcr!

Olight SR90, badass. Impractical but badass, and heavy. Used with the shoulder sling. Spends most of its days disassembled in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

**This order is subject to change at any time!

^That was my list as of about 65 days ago. I owned about 10 lights then, but now I own about 18 lights, because I have bought at least 4 more medium to higher powered lights, and about 5 tiny single AAA lights, including 3 Thrunite Ti's, an Olight/iTp i3 and a Titanium Innovations Illumina-Ti. The bigger light I've since bought are: Spark Sl5-210CW, Jetbeam PC-10, Fenix TK41(U2), Thrunite TN-30. But I sold both my Eagletac D25A and D25C, but re-bought another D25C Titanium in neutral U2.


So here's the list in the order of preference for now:

1. Fenix TK41
2. Tied for 2nd place are: Eagletac G25C2 and Sunwayman T20CS
3. Jetbeam BC-10(just because of its utility and toughness as my EDC)
4. Eagletac D25C titanium U2
5. Thrunite TN-30
6. Jetbeam PA-10
7. Jetbeam PC-10
8. iTp A6
9. Spark SL5-210CW
10. ZL SC600
11. Thrunite Ti(plural)
12. Four-Sevens Preon 2
13. Solarforce L2P XM-L
13. Titanium Innovations Illumina-Ti
14. Olight i3

Why do u like the T20cs over the G25?

I think the G25C2 is a tougher light that handles heat better, but the T20CS fits perfectly into my hand when I hold it with the head in my hand with my middle finger activating the side button. The fact that you must press the rear clicky to turn it on before you can operate the forward switch is annoying, but I just leave the rear switch on, and turn the light off using the forward side switch, which puts it on standby and drains a tiny bit of battery juice. I like its smaller size, etc. I dont use it in turbo or high much, and dont leave it running on high or turbo for long either.

In my new post where I rate them all over again, I actually have these 2 lights tied at 2nd place!
