I feel the exact same way about my SureFire M6.

:thinking: :shrug:
Nutnfancy just made a vid on it.
And I feel the same way about my LF3XT.
I tuck it in at night. :thumbsup:

Im constantly impressed by the Stylus Pro's little brother...the Streamlight Microstream. Small, reliable and packs a pretty good output for its size.

ps... Stylus Pro is in my briefcase and backpack. I guess I like it too

All of them. If I were not constantly impressed and entertained by my flashlights, I would not be a flashlight fanatic, let alone a member of this site.

for me it's the Gerber LX1, Gerber IU & SureFire E1L Luxeon. 
Gerber LX1
it has slightly more throw, better colour rendition in reality & a wee bit more flood than the Inova X5. not to mention a runtime of 10hr+ on a set of alkalines before a change of batts is needed.
Gerber UI
a very floody dim light very well suited for indoors use around the house
SureFire E1L (Gen1- Luxeon)
a pocket rocket in its Lux days in a small package. a compact companion light to a flooder light where weight & size is critical. despite the lack of spill, the square beam does not give the "tunnel vision" effect.

My Elektrolumens P-7 EDC.
But it may soon have competition from the incoming MCE version.

HDS U60 XRGT. It may not have the brightest emitter and doesn't have the latest PD design, infinite light levels or even the greatest looks (although beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but it was - and to some degree, still is - a benchmark in terms of ruggedness, programmability and regulated output.
Now if I could just find the time to mod it with an SSC P4...

the Muyshondt Aeon. The runtime on low is outstanding, packs a punch on high when you need it, and you don't even realize it's there while on a keychain.

...My Novatac 120P, it just has literally, the perfect beam.
I'm with ya!!!! I have 5 Propolys modded with Seouls and I use them more then anything else I own. These modded Propolys are extremely bright, have a ton of throw & spill, run regulated for a looooong time and are really durable. They just feel like a flashlight should! Not to big, not to small, JUST RIGHT!
at this moment, I use flashlights most for all kinds of electronics inspections, where the SF L1 LumaMax does the job very, very well indeed.
It may have uhhh, not my favorite color of light, but as long as I'm not in the woods, that's no problem.
I've had it for a few weeks now, colleagues lent it even more than I use it myself, they leave it on all the time unneeded (needless to say, on high most of the time) and it is STILL on its first battery....
The intensity-ratio between high and low couldn't have been chosen better imo. Low is excellent for close-range inspection work, high is a real penetrator for looking deeply into computers, see any screw on the floor, and light up fairly large spots by "wall-bouncing" the light.
As soon as I go into the woods, I make sure to have a load of 18650s and off I go.... with the M90 Rattlesnake in my hands! Equipped with the LED-tailcap of course :thumbsup:
In a tent, I don't know yet... maybe the newly acquired A2 comes in handy... two flashlights in one :twothumbs
But as I don't have it here yet, I can't tell for now... just a guess!

McLux III PD-S. A lot of my lights come close though.

My Nuwai Qlll is my work key chain EDC, it's plenty bright and can light up an impressive area especially if there is no light pollution. Simple user interface and a decent balance between flood and throw and all for around 20.00$, still not bad. I just saw a Dorcy single cell the other day that looks similar and more than likely has a more powerful and efficent Cree emitter but I would rather save my money for other purchases, it's the old addage of "don't fix it if it aint broke".
Someday soon, I hope to put in an order at Battery Station for their 3.7 rechargeables to see what gains I'll get on the Qlll+Peak Ranier. If I can find a good source for some SSCP4's, I am interested in modding the light myself as well as an older PT Eos. Trying to slow down and control the I MUST HAVE THE NEWEST MOST POWERFUL LIGHT AVAILABLE:sick2: voices in my head and learn to be happy with and use what I already have.

My Fenix P2D premium 100 with the 100 Rebel LED.
The beam with it's good throw and wide smooth spill and no cree rings, the warmish tint, and the runtime haven't been beaten by pretty much anything in the last 18 months. (I have had no experience or comparison with high end customs however)
