I've only touched the L1P - which I like very much, but I can't make any hands on comparisons so I didn't vote. In a few days, I should be able to touch a Civictor, which I expect to also like very much.

In the abstract - just looking at the numbers - I'd probably say...

Buy All Of Them?...

You forgot to add the Nuwai X1 1AA and X3 2AA lights.

I specifically didn't add them, not around until July.

It's personal experiences I am looking for.

Got my Civictors and I like them a lot. Chevro's revised tests and my informal measurements suggest that the Civictor has at least an L1P board - and maybe an actual L1T board in it (as in: Fenix may only have only one barrel of 1AA boards lying around, and they're using them for everything they're assembling to ease their supply chain).

All 3 of mine look like they're carrying the same bin Luxes as my L1Ps (i.e. R bin), and I prefer twisties over clickies (shorter, cheaper, more reliable).

I think they're the best Fenix deal right now, especially from 4sevens.

Voted for the Fenix L1P and UltraFire 1AA as I have theme both.

The output of the lights is almost the same, but the UltraFire has slightly less spill. The finish on the Fenix is better, and it has a glass lens. The UltraFire is not HA and has a plastic lens. But the UltraFire is not glued so easier to take apart for mods.

So as a worklight/banger or for modding, I'd go with the UltraFire. For everything else I'd go with the Fenix.

My vote for ultrafire 602, cause it´s cheap, has a clicky, nice finish and the tint is better than any of my 5 fenix...
