I like the Fenix TK15, it has 4 brightness modes and great runtimes and built like a tank. The TK15 has great throw for it's size due to a XPG LED driven at 337 lumens.

For LEO/Duty use, the Klarus XT10 is an excellent choice due to the fact that it comes on at max output every time. For a more casual user, that feature can be a real detriment. Having a light fire up at max output, especially one as powerful as the one's we are talking about, when you are out camping and need a little light in the tent in the middle of the night to find something...well...your tent-mate(s) will not be happy. So whether or not the Klarus' feature of always coming on at max is desirable or detrimental is something the buyer will need to decide. I would not reccomed the XT10 as an "All Around" light, due to this feature. I, personally, feel the EagleTac is a much better "All Around" light...YMMV.I just got an EagleTac P20C2 (size/brightness ratio= insane) but if I were going to buy another light today it would for sure be the Klarus XT10 hands down (which has the battery option you're looking for.) The dual switch on the back is PERFECT for self defense/night stand duties, if you're going to have strobe on a light, having one click access is awesome. The light seems to have a good balance between throw and spill and it's pretty bright.
I'm not familiar with this light. Where did you buy it? You said it was cheap. Care to share what you paid for it?I really like my KD C8, a lot of power: nice beam profile, good combination of throw/spill and it's cheap

Hi Dreamaster,
I think the Klarus XT10 is a good light too. What I was wondering is what you like better about the XT10 than the ET other than its tacticle qualities? My friend isn't in law inforcement, and really isn't all that concered with self defence. Is there any other qualities you like better about the XT10?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Just got done talking with my friend and it turns out he wants a light to mount on his AR-15.
Well, that changes things around a bit. I didn't know that when he sent me the e-mail.
What do you think, should I just start a whole new thread? He would like to have one with a pressure switch if at all possible. Now I'm really out of my league!oo:
He does like the ET P20C2. Especially since you can switch out the different drop ins. Anyone have any idea if can be converted to us a pressure switch?
