I have been on this forum for about 3 years and I think that I understand my personal attitude towards flashlights much better now than before. I still have most of the lights that I have bought but there is a small group of grails that I like so much that I dont think I'd ever sell any of them.
But then I noticed that only part of these grails belong to my EDC rotation. The others are admired, played with couple times a week, but then just go back to sit in the drawer. I wonder if you guys may have similar divide in your lights?
Here is my list:
1. Grails in EDC rotation
- McGizmo LS20, unmodded except for a warming lee filter I installed behind the lens (my all time favorite light)
- Mac's Tri-EDC modded by Tana, LuciDrvFT, wide flood optics (home EDC)
- ZL SC600 Mk I modded by DatiLED to a triple, based on OSRAM high cri LEDs (outdoor EDC)
- DQG Spy, 2900K high cri (always on my keychain)
- i-beam watch, Eddie Bauer version, with integrated LED light (amazingly useful thing, always on my wrist)
2. Grails in the drawer
- DEFT edc-X
- SF M6, w/ PHD-M6 regulator, FM 2x18650 holder, FM bi-pin G4 adapter and many superbulbs from Fivemega
- Muyshondt Aeon mk II
- McGizmo Sundrop/083B (best tint ever, use it at home when need ultimate color rendering)
- 1000 Lumens E2 Fire by FiveMega, with AW softstart tail switch and FM34 beam shaper (most versatile incand ever)
- Fivemega G4 D26 Sunlight head legoed with Solarforce. lots of superbulbs fit here
- HDS rotary, 140lm (original and diffused reflectors)
- SF Titan T1A
- SF A2 with Calipsoii multimode ring, warm white and FM Strion kit
- Vinh's Z1vn aspheric zoomie
