Thought I'd post my current lineup of lights I use for duty. I've went from xenon in the 90s to what I have now as current carry. I'm an admitted flashaholic, particularly partial to Streamlight . I carry all of these from time to time, switching around as I see fit.
Left to right...starting with the big swingers, car lights...
SL20X incan with Terralux 550 lumen upgrade. Started carrying in the 90's.
MagLite - mag-charger. Also converted with the Terralux MiniStar upgrade. Supposedly 1,000 lumens, but I really doubt it. Hardly carried. It serves as a home light.
SL20L - no upgrades, just a boring 350 lumen light that I rarely carry. It's my night stand light. Have to keep it on the charger as it self discharges fast.
Now for the belt series....
Streamlight Stinger - Original 90s xenon model. It's seen 1 upgrade to the Terralux 450 lumen upgrade. It's seeing its second upgrade as I just ordered the 800 lumen upgrade from Lumens Factory.
Stinger LED - no upgrades, but it's the high lumens 800 model.
Streamlight Protac HLX - 1000 lumen light. Predominately carried now because it's just as bright as any others, and doesn't heat up.
Surefire 6P - bored to accept 18650 batteries, current drop in is the Sportac XHP35 single mode 1000 lumen.
Backup pocket duty lights....
Streamlight Protac 2Lx - 500 lumen
Not pictured....
Protac 2AA - runs on 2 AA batteries
Macrostream - 500 lumen EDC off duty light.
As you can see....I'm a Streamlight guy. They are simply tanks that have never failed me. They all have distinct uses and features that I love.
My current projects are to 1) decide between the Protac HLx and the 6P and 2) decide which Stinger to carry when I get my Lumens Factory upgrade.
