Ok I rethought my answer.
My favorite/best/coolest/nicest flashlight
of all time is a copper cerakote PK Design Lab FL-2LE with a PR-1 clip, an Elzetta lanyard ring and LED Lenser wrist strap.
The day a black, stock one arrived it was nearing sundown. First impression after removing it from the foam wrapping around a mylar sack inside a nifty box was how it felt like it was velcro'd to my hand. But then I hit the on switch and aimed it at a green trash can next door and "my goodness" popped out of my mouth without meaning to. The green just popped like I had turned on a photoshop contrast boost feature in my eye balls.
Later, after dark I noted how the beam had a great combo of spot and spill in a cone shape that began 5 feet from me. I took it to a fairly dark place and noted how It reached out and gave a nice pointed tip while providing vast spill to my peripherals. Then after that in a place with lots light pollution the low setting was useable up to around 25 feet. I bought like 8 more and gave them away. I wanted to share the stoke of the light that had knocked the SureFire G2x Pro off the pedestal I used to judge all other flashlights by.
That was 5 years ago. I've added a bunch of other lights since then to my quiver but it's still the one I judge other flashlights by. At the time PK had put everything he had learned into that light and used it to launch PK Design Lab. The masses did not take to the light for various reason including the 'In God We Trust' engraved in the tailcap.
I liked it and said so boldly here at CPF. That Christmas I received a PM from the man himself saying thanks for the kind words. Then one day I received a box of stuff including one of two copper color coated FL2's. It had been tossed around and beat up to test the cerakote coating to the point the borofloat lens had broken. The day my first PR-1 arrived I removed the clip. Later I dremeled the anti-twist ears from the clip and slid it over that FL2 for a unique, but fitting two-way bezel down pocket clip and added a wrist lanyard.
A shelf queen PR-1 shows the stock clip.
