I last got a Legion II SST-50 and it is a really fantastic light. It has a unique user interface with a thumb rotating sleeve used to select the modes, and it also has 1000+ lumens output using 3 x 18650's. Absolutey awesome output.

The only drawback is that the manufacturer, Neofab, seems to be in major difficulties at the moment and is subject to attention in the jeers section.

That is a real pity because this light is exceptional in my view.

Quark Turbo AAx2 with warm tint.

Why? I never had a warm tinted led light, and I wanted to see how close it was to the mags of my youth.

It's very close.

Elektro Lumens "FireSword V." Why? Build quality seemed to be on high end. From what members posted about Wayne's lights seemed to be nothing but positive. I wanted to order his KONG-12, so I ordered the FireSword first just to get a true sample of his quality creations. The FireSword seemed like a nice dog walking light and it has met that need well. Only had it a week, and its a winner. Wayne's building my KONG-12 now, but will be using the XM-L LED's on mine.

Technically, I guess the last one was a Malkoff Wildcat. Why? Well, because I ordered a Hound Dog XM-L, and they sent me the Wildcat by mistake. I liked it, though, so I paid for it while they were sending me the HD XM-L :)

Felix HL20 headlamp. I wanted a headlamp without a rear-mounted battery pack primarily for working under my car where the rear battery pack is in the way, but also for camping and other outdoor activities. And I wanted a AA powered light as all my EDC lights are 123A powered and I have a LOT of AA batteries lying around waiting to get used up! :sick2:

Last Friday UPS dropped of my 4sevens maelstrom G5, and I love it! I Got it because it uses an 18650, has excellent throw, very good output and manufactured by 4sevens. On Sunday I found a new EDC light, a streamlight pt 1aa, and I also like it a whole lot! Its the perfect size for me, and uses AA.

Both are excellent lights and I am sure will get lots of use!

Last one was a Redline by Nebo. No reason to buy - it just was neat. Was actually looking for a signal mirror and the salesperson was showing the lignt to another customer. The other guy didn't buy, but I did.

Couldn't handle it! I ordered the 4sevens quark AA!! I think the anticipation of it in the mail is just as fun as when I get it. I ordered it because I really like 4sevens products, it will be a small EDC light, it has multiple modes and has just over 100 lumens!

Bought a Gold E01 because I can't seem to remove the battery on my old purple E01. Still works but battery will die sometime. Found my way to the throne many a night, sniff.

IRIX II (gray) headlamps for emergency preparedness. I like the fact that all ICONs use regular AA batteries and this will come handy when I start using rechargeable batteries with solar powered charger.

Bought the Thrunite Scorpion 2 weeks ago waiting on it to come in.

I just love the beam, absolute perfect if you ask me. The settings although some find confusing I personally find them excellent.
