1. Francis searchlight, mine doesn't even work yet but the glistening expanse of chrome is a winner.
2. Cyclops Thor modded with 75 watt HID.
3. Unfinished 139mm aspheric project.
4. Cheap 6 volt lantern, pathetic 100 lumen output but it throws pretty good.
5. Romisen RC-G2 XRE Aspheric mod, unfinished.
6. Romisen RC-G2 XPG R5.
7. ITP A3.
8. Fenix LD20.
9. Fenix LD01.
10. Maglite solitaire XPE, unfinished project.
11. Lightforce blitz SL240, just don't understand these, awkward design, all plastic construction, remote battery, overpriced? Subjective I suppose, has potential for mods as ma sha and others have demonstrated but in it's stock form it's performance doesn't seem to tally up with the price tag.

7) SolarForce P1 with EDC+ Neutral XM-L
6) SolarForce 2P with NB Neutral XM-L
5) PhotonFanatic Groovy! with P4

In order of frequency of use:

1. FourSevens Mini123 in HCRI (EDC)
2. Surefire 6P with M61LL (around the house)
3. Surefire 9P with M61 (camping/bump in the night)
4. Solarforce L2P with 3 mode XML drop in (use this in the garage quite a bit because I'm not worried about scuffing it up)
5. Surefire M6 with PhD battery pack (ridiculously bright & throwy with MN61)

^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

I've have been looking to get a 18650 light and I see you have had/have all three of the ones I've been looking at. The Sunwayman T20CS, Eagletac G25C2, and on your earlier list Zebralight SC600. Now you have me looking at another one, the Fenix TK41... where will it end! LOL. I guess when I buy one, I'm sure they all are good lights. Can you expand on why you put the Fenix TK41 at the top now?
Thanks,
James

1) iTP C8T (Really like this light, but since it is no longer made, I don't use/carry it much)
2) Fenix PD22 R5 (most of the benefits of the PD32 in a smaller, lighter package)
3) Fenix PD32 R5
4) TerrLux 80 (High CRI LED)
5) JetBeam BA20
6) Fenix E11
7) Mag-Lite XL50 (like the light, but HATE that it always comes on in high mode)
8) Sunwayman RA01 (been mostly replaced in the rotation by the E11)

1. Hypetac P1A, after I got used the PWM, this became my favorite light. It's perfect for an EDC for me.
2. Fenix LD20/LD22, I've held onto the Q5 version for a few years now, but I consider the R5 version to be the best light on the market.
3. Fenix E40, even though it's almost pure throw, I've grown fond of walking around in the dark with this light.
4. Romisen RC-29, I never use mine anymore, but I really wish they would update it to a 2aa light with a newer LED
5. Fenix TK20, still the greatest light ever made, but as it ages it falls behind.

Below is a list of all the lights I own (I've included ones that I've just ordered and are in the post)

If I had to Limit my collection to 3, I'd choose the Jetbeam RRT-3 for its massive output. The Sunwayman V11R for its compactness and the ability to choose a super low output with the magnetic ring, but have the extra muscle if required. The 3rd is the light I use 95% of the time and if I had to choose only one light, this would be it - Surefire Fury.
